Very interesting!

This is my first ludum dare game!I'm really excited!!!

The plus version:

https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/52/real-harvest-or-not/there-are-many-bugs-in-my-game-so-i-uploaded-a-plus-version

Or you can download it in my LD52 page!

I make mistakes uploading the plus vesion so maybe you see the source file is published on 2023/1/11.It does't matter,the source file hasn't changed.But the time isn't right.I wish you won't care it.The game is pulished before the compo ended,so just play the game.It can prove my innocence.

0.1 version problem:
When the number of the coins is up to 500,the win UI won't come out because of some mistakes.So if the number of your coins is up to 500,you are seen as the winner.Forgive me please!!!

Great job on your first Ludum Dare! The art style and player animations look really nice. I think the interact button would have been more convenient on a mouse button though.

Congrats on your first entry! I've been making games for Ludum Dare for 10 years now, but when I started my first game was not as good as yours.

I would think about the controls of the game a little. V is a difficult button to push when you are using WASD to move around. E and Q are much easier to reach, yet you don't use these buttons for anything. (don't worry, this is something I had to learn too!)

Good work! Keep making games!

Maybe I need to add key control,but that's another story!

Great job with your first Ludum Dare! Really well looking graphics and animations! Fights are pretty challenging, but I was able to progress pretty nicely. As comments above said, attack could have some better key, like E or Space, but no biggie. :) Great job!

Fun game! It took me a while to understand the controls though.

Delightful and highly enjoyable!

@miltage Thank you for your encouragement.I like making games like you and I will keep trying!

Very fabulous game(sorry if I spelled fabulous wrong)

Very good game, I love your pixel art style, it is very effective I really wish I could do something like this but I always feel that I lack pixels to represent what I want to xD.

I love the pumpkins, they are very funny and also I love how monsters pushes you back when they hit you it is a very nice touch that ads "weight", intention, shugar? xD To the game :)

Good Job :)!!

Interesting idea. Controls felt a bit dragging and hard to figure out. Different key bindings could improve it because using v to attack and wasd to move is a bit awkward together. Nice entry overall. Congrats!

@megalukes Thanks.You really figure out my problems.I need to learn more in fact.Sometimes it's important to think about player's feelings.All in all,Thank you!

@muriel thank you!To tell the truth,my art isn't very perfect.I just spend about four hours on it.Thank you for your love.

I really liked the pixel art style of this game! Great animations and the graphic are very coherent. It's amazing you've managed to make these in such a short time! The game itself was too difficult for me... I tried to get better at these fights but the vegetables ended up killing me pretty quickly everytime.

Anyway, thank you for making the game!

@matank It doesn't matter if you are killed.The most important thing you should do is to harvest every wheat and plant more crops.Though it is difficult,it's possible to win!Thank you for your comment!

@poietic-ruby Oh that's interesting, I didn't realize the progress is kept when you come back. I'll definitely try again! :)

@matank don't take my words too seriously.The game is difficult.I've just passed one time.If you can't win,just put it down because as the time goes on,the number of the enemies increases as well as the difficulty.Good luck and thank you!

nice, although it gets difficult very soon if you died once or twice. i feel like it. Maybe there was another attack key I did not find? because otherwise hitting anything is hard.

@substain there aren’t anything you left out.just because I have no time.It works if you run to the enemy’s front and attack it.Then you can easily hit it.I have to tell my mistakes in attacking collisions.Sorry for my mistakes and thank you!

awesome first entry! I applaud going for Compo on your first one!

@dom-de-re Thank you for your comment!

Congratulations on your first Ludum Dare! One advice I'll give you for your future games is something that I usually struggle with myself:

Try to dumb down the difficulty of your games.

Yea I know... I also like hard fun, but as the developers it's just natural and easier for us to grasp the mechanics and controls, usually people have a harder time trying to figure them out.

@lex Thank you for your suggestion.

The combat and feedback is suprisingly good. This game is one of the few games that attract me with the combat. It will be much better if the hero can attack faster, more responsive, or with greater range. now it is too difficult to hit as desired, especially with countless enemy knockbacks.

Great work, especially since it's your first jam and you've done it solo ! The game is pretty difficult tho but once you get it it's pretty nice and the feedbacks are cool.

Best hopes for your next works !

Good looking game. However gamefeel and feedback is something I would improve. Also what already've been mentioned is controls are really unintuitive and the placement of the keys is just bad.
And small thing - I would suggest to place playable build as the github realise file and put there straight link to the file (you can see in my project), and not as part of the source. And name it here like "Windows download" and not "github" just to make it clear.
Congrats on your first project)

@corporation Thank you for your advice,this is my firs time and I don't have any experience.There were some mistakes I have made.I should improve myself.Anyway,thank you for your comment!

Great job for your first entry. This is my second compo and the time really does fly. I love the animations and art! Glad you had fun making this :)

This is a very nice entry for a first.

Cute art. I just wish the control keys were different.

But well done !

Nice entry, good job for your first LD!

I first played the version that is in your LD page and then the "plus" version.

I found the first one pretty difficult, especially when the pumpkins start attacking. Their attack push the character a bit too much, which makes it impossible to attack them in return - so the only solution is to wait for them to die by themselves, but it takes ages, and in that time the pack grows so much.

In the second build, for some reason after selling once (I think there were 2x seeds + 2x pumkins), I just won the game, so it looks like there's still an issue with this build.

I would like to see more of your game, the idea sounds really good and matching the theme perfectly. I also love your pixel art, it looks really good and consistant.

Btw, I would recommend putting new version in your LD page, while keeping a changelog to be transparent regarding your changes, people will like that :) In the current state, it's pretty difficult to find the fixed version and I would assume that many people will miss it.

Good job!

Couldn't play it. It runs fullscreen and I can't see my cursor, but I could see it in OBS for some reason?

Didn't understand the controls, space was "eat" but no other buttons seemed to work, so I just got killed

Loved the animations! I quickly became overwhelmed with the amount of pumpkins that spawned, it made it hard to pick up any loot that dropped. As someone else mentioned it's also hard to press v and w/s at the same time. Great job on the game over all!

Good job on the game. Hope you enter many more Ludum Dare to come :)

@rolly There are many problems in the plus version so I upload a new version without mistakes and it works.I have done what you ask me to do.Just see the LD page.Thank you for your advice!

@maksim-chugunov If you can't play it with full screen,press "f11" to cancel it.The space always goes wrong so download the plus version.It is in my LD52 page!Sorry for troubling you.

@mstrp If the game doesn't satisfy you,download the plus version please.It is in my LD52 page!

Thank you all for your playing.I will keep learning and trying!

This game looked very interesting. Nice shadows and animations. Not sure how to swing my really cool swythe, but i've never been good at reaping things anyway. :D :D:D:D:D

@commanderstitch Thank you and the control isn't really good I think.Please player the 0.2v!
