My main complaint would be that the lighting was a bit too dark - it was very hard to find the stairs up the harvester every time I had to ride it again (I was playing the PC binary version, not the web version).

It could be a good opening for a horror story. Players are faced with many questions during the game play. Why do you have to harvest at night? What happens if you don't finish harvesting at night? Why did you hit the cross in the graveyard? The sound of the steps gives a nice vibe and triggers some memories of playing Quake for some reason. Graphics is solid.","format":"md","likes":1,"spam":"N"},{"id":927298,"author_name":"chompdev","author_uid":"chompdev","epoch":1674353969,"text":"Wow, this one definitely earned five stars for Mood and Graphics! I love the style you've gone with here, and it's amazing how much atmosphere and tension is built in only a few minutes. There's a great sense of relative safety in the driver's seat, and the need to climb down into the darkness is a bit more creepy and thrilling every time. This is a pretty compelling start to a horror story, and could really be turned into something fun and interesting if you expand it after the jam. Great work, and I hope to see more of this one soon! :)","format":"md","likes":0,"spam":"N"},{"id":928594,"author_name":"Augmotic","author_uid":"augmotic","epoch":1674620301,"text":"Well done atmosphere and spooky vibes. I think with more content and mechanics it could make an interesting horror story.\n\nThe sounds were good but not having a fade between the engine sound restarting was super jarring.\n\nHaving it pitch black unless in the light gives it a sense of the unknown but maybe having a small tint of moonlight on the field and catching a glimpse of things moving would be another option to add to the paranoia.\n\nOverall I enjoyed it and it was a refreshing change from most of the other games.","format":"md","likes":0,"spam":"N"},{"id":928638,"author_name":"cat chef","author_uid":"cat-chef","epoch":1674631899,"text":"@szieberth-adam oh yeah I was being sarcastic this game scared the pants off me -- insane atmosphere, I loved it","format":"md","likes":0,"spam":"N"},{"id":928656,"author_name":"jk5000","author_uid":"jk5000","epoch":1674635606,"text":"The atmosphere is pretty scarry, and I like the part of the story there is in the game.
