Escape the Harvest by greenkingwashere

[raw]
made by greenkingwashere for Ludum Dare 52 (JAM)

An animal tries to escape a slaughterhouse!

This was my first time using Unity. As for the artwork, some of that I created myself and others were derivatives of free artwork, for example the wall textures were from rubberduck's factory tileset. I know the game isn't much on theme, I accidently saw last jam's theme and thought it was 52's theme :(

This was pretty fun, much longer than I was expecting lol, the map just kept going and going! I didn't realize that it was supposed to be a stealth game until I walked right into one of the enemies the first time lol, but once I realized what was up I had a good time!

Nice. The fun artwork is what drew me in, played a few times but I'm not cut out to be a pig, I kept getting caught.

I had the same reaction, i was like "Let's go that way... that way... that way... oh man this building is huge!".
Simple gameplay, fun experience!

I thought the theme was on point! Props for making such a large (and well decorated!) level in such a short time, and for having multiple characters. Some small bugs aside (I somehow got two cows at once, and was "caught" but didn't get a game over one time), I think something that might be nice is some help in terms of where to go. It was pretty easy to get lost and backtrack by accident, but it also wouldn't be fun to just have directions so I'm not too sure what to do about that. Maybe a minimap that gets filled out as you go?

Interesting idea, pig stealth game to rescue cows. The people get stuck sometimes chasing you. Nice job.

I like the pixel are of animals, well done. The map was way bigger than I expected. I love that you give a sound clue for player when enemies are close. Good job!

I enjoyed this! I went with the chicken and had fun sneaking round the labyrinth - made it to 9 apples and 2 cows before getting caught!

Adding ranged weapons / powerups that can be found would be a cool build. Good luck hitting 20 ratings!

I tried a few times but I always got caught - not sure if there is actually an exit somewhere... very stressful!

I like the pixel art graphics (the pig is so cute!) and the sound effects. A bit of music would have been great.

I really enjoy being able to lead the enemies around, I feel like it rewards map knowledge in a nice way. It would be fun if there were mechanics and systems based on that kind of misdirection, like leading an enemy away rom a place you need ot get into.
