made by Rexagon for Ludum Dare 52 (JAM)

The game is about throwing a sickle like a boomerang to harvest the crops.

Be sure to be cautious, as the sickle is extremely dangerous and will relentlessly pursue you through the level in an attempt to kill you. You do have an opportunity to bounce it back, but it is not an easy task, and it only sometimes succeeds. To aid you on this harrowing harvesting journey, we've given the main character some lives to endure the battle and finish the harvest in time.

The controls are straightforward: - Move with W, A, S, D. - Throw the sickle with the left mouse button. - Space to dash and Shift to sprint.

The game doesn't feel or look like we expected it to 🌚. The initial idea was for it to be a rhythm game where catching and throwing the sickle with a beat would increase the power of the throw, but this mechanic works a little bit unpredictably.

Love the concept. I can't say I have ever seen a game like this before so it's very innovative. Could easily be a really fun mobile game.

I like the concept of throwing it back to the rythm, I understand that it doesnt properly work. I gave it a try, but could not quite get succes with it. I think that would make for a really cool game. But overall I did like the simple nature of running away from the death boomerang. I started to figure out how to hide from it using the fences. Pretty fun.
