Not sure if "just don't care about the animals" is the message you want to send here but that is the easiest way to win.
I could not stop thinking about the time & animals being enough of a challenge though.
took a while to pass the first level once getting the hang of the driving and being bit more cautious of the rocks, works well. Regardless, great game, well done!
The rock was a bit unforgiving but I enjoyed "accidentally" harvesting other things. But one time a cow got revenge and trapped me in a corner.
Really the only notes/additions I can think of is the music being a bit low during play and maybe an upgrade menu? Some powerup could be to reduce the cleaning time when a cow happens to be harvested or increase the yield; maybe even a radar of sorts, to warn you a rock is ahead (but without pinpointing the location of course)
Very good game!
the color pallet makes it look really eerie, and it's especially unsettling with the amount of gore from hitting an animal.
i liked controlling the tractor EXCEPT for backing up! when i back up, it seems like the left/right arrows to become inverted, which doesn't really match how i'd expect a car to drive, so that took a bit of getting used to.
i thought i was driving carefully, but still hit rocks for the first three or so rounds. then, i finally made it through the time limit without exploding, but only had like half the quota :(
besides the frustrating difficulty (i probably just need to get good), i think i disliked the music the most. it really didn't feel like it fit at all. i think i was expecting something more atmospheric and creepy, given the visuals.
main lesson: don't harvest wheat at twilight!
