Would be nice to also see time at the end of levels not only your grade
Didn't manage to get an S but i had a good time ! :D
Simple yet so great
(Maby some screen shake would help sell the effect even more?)
I feel like the design is a bit **too** simple, like it could use a twist to make it more interesting
Maybe, for instance, a movement system like the one from [diepound](https://lightpotato.itch.io/diepound), a game from last year's gmtk jam
That kinda reminded me of the times I spent cutting bushes in the village of Zelda:Link's Awakening on Gameboy!
The juice on the slice animation is really satisfying, and the fact that you're just wide enough to grab two rows of wheat makes for some fun optimization of the levels. I also just think it's a hilariously intense mood for a relatively mundane task like harvesting wheat.
It would have been nice if there was a little more transparency on what gave the grades, like a timer that ticked down and showed the grade getting reduced as it ticks down (so you know how close you were to the next one). Or some kind of high score mechanic per level or for the total.
Nice work!
