I liked how the red one continued to get faster and faster as the game went on, made it a bit more difficult and ensured the game ended.\n\nThe purple guys were moving super fast on my computer, it made it difficult to predict and dodge them. Was that by design? I have a high refresh rate monitor, maybe you needed to multiply their movement by the frame time to slow them down on my computer?\n\nGreat job nonetheless, and it looks like you used your own engine\/wrote the game from scratch?

This is a straight-forward \"all thriller no filler\" game.\n\n### Things I liked\n\n1. The gameplay was straight forward - grab the tomatoes, don't get killed by the devil, also harvesters will murder you so avoid them as well\n2. The character art was crisp and clear\n\n### Things I noticed\n\n1. You've packaged the *.sln file and source code with the game - I'm not sure if this is intentional, but you could've probably just packaged the `bin` folder. If you build this into an engine you probably won't want to distribute your source code with your builds :wink: \n2. The `debug` build is in the package - Again, I'm not sure if this is intentional. Typically the `release` build is shipped to users. `debug` builds typically run more slowly due to the presence of debug symbols and bounds checking (at least in C\/C++ this is the case). This isn't an issue for this game, but it's something to consider for the next one!\n3. I had to install .NET 6.0.0, which isn't a big deal\n\nThis is a commendable effort, congrats on submitting, and thank you for the fun game!","format":"md","likes":0,"spam":"N"}],"format":"md","images":["ldjam-media\/sha256\/9a\/9ac5e0e9bc3cf9f58f18d08b315716998e0c196340e62dd6832a8d940e1a4f36.png"],"links":[],"metadata":{"g_key":"86714","g_author":"1005160","g_event":"LD52","g_eventkey":"116","g_subevent":"JAM","g_urlkey":"398456","g_title":"Harvester","g_status":"WAYBACK","g_place":"99999","g_commentcount":"9","g_site2_node_id":"317436","g_hide":"Y","g_has_icon":"Y","g_rqueue":"0","g_random":"0"},"nds":{"n_key":"317436","n_urlkey":"398456","n_parent":"313060","n_path":"\/events\/ludum-dare\/52\/harvester-4","n_slug":"harvester-4","n_type":"item","n_subtype":"game","n_subsubtype":"jam","n_author":"5160","n_created":"1673021116","n_modified":"1778058796","n_version":"998151","n_status":"WAYBACK"},"node":{"_collation":{"body_sanitizer":"TextUtils::SanitizeHTML
