Shadow Harvester by Ntimi

Warning:
The game takes a long time to load, since there are a lot of animations. The longest waiting time will be at around 7% load progress, around 2 minutes. Afterward, the rest of the loading process will be quicker. Even if the loading bar seems stuck, it should continue.

Great work ! Hope you'll have more review because it's really pleasant to play.
Nonetheless, very well made!
Loading takes a really long time, sorry for that - it seems to be stuck on 7% for quite a while (around two minutes on my computer), but there should be progress (even if invisible). Afterwards, the loading bar jumps to 14% and the rest of the game will load faster.
It's really strange that the game is not being downloaded through the links, too. I tried re-uploading the Windows version on itch.io, but it seemed to not change anything. I added a downloadable Windows version to our LD site, that one works (at least for me).
So, sorry that you could not access it, now you should be able to, again.
The game looks great and the mood is awesome. I loved the menacing walking animation and harvesting the little critters. The idea of the game was good and I didn't mind the slow pace, but I never got past the boss enemy that attacked me. It seems the shield didn't work as I switched it on when I saw attack coming but still always got damaged. Also, the gun didn't seem to charge/shoot in any sync with switching it, so I couldn't use it consistently.
I would have liked keyboard shortcuts for changing each of the parts. Clicking the arrows was a little messy especially when you accidentally click multiple parts open (that's most likeky a bug)
I'm sad I never made it so far to see the mining part. The drill in the shop was intriguing. It's a sin that I couldn't get to see all the other cool animations of the harvester.
The game finally crashed on my third try at the boss and I didn't want to wait the loading time anymore. I hope you get the downloads working.
I'd like to try a fixed downloadable version. If you update your game, even after the scoring, please tag me in the comments :slight_smile:
