Farm in 60 seconds by ProfessorRekyl

[raw]
made by ProfessorRekyl for LD 41 (JAM)

Welcome to the pinnacle of farming-racing-simulation!

Finally you can play out the dream of being a farmer with a hard-on for racing, and too little time for casual, slow driving. Challenge yourself in maximizing the area of farmland that you can plow in a mere 60 seconds - feel free to post your best score down below.

Showcase1.5.gif

You control a truck connected to a plow/harrow, and have a handful of maps to attempt to plow as much as possible of, until the timer runs out. Your tools are left/right steering and throttle, as well as boost and flip - to restore you after you inevitably fall over.

2 player support! Standard keybinds are:

Player 1:

  • Arrow keys: Turn/accelerate/slow down
  • Right control: Boost
  • Alt Gr: Flip

Player 2:

  • WASD: Turn/accelerate/slow down
  • Left control: Boost
  • Left alt: Flip

To enable player two, press any of the keybinds for player 2 during the very first screen ingame and an additional tractor will spawn.

Play the game on WEB here!

What a great mash up of genres! I had a GREAT time racing through the level and it was really satisfying to see that combine go spinning out of control. My only complaint is that I'd spend the rest of the level going back and cleaning up what I missed. :( Like a kid having to clean my room!

I think a time trial mode where it dropped you into a giant field and you just had to see how many squares you could get in 60 seconds would be a super fun addition!

Really fun game! Great job!

Lots of fun! A bit rediculous but if you keep your speed down its quite drivable :)

Tractor's physics are amazingly realistic. I always drive my tractor this way. With Alt gr :)
Very good entry, i was stuck sometimes, and alt gr didn't work ( well, just like in real life x) ) but that's one of my favorite entry i've tried so far. Good job !

@Mowztouch Haha "I always drive my tractor this way" made me laugh!
Thanks everyone for trying out our game, see you out there in the fields!

Really good, I had this same idea when the theme was announced but 'chickened' out. I thought it was well delivered, a fun little game with a good amount of content and nice style.

Great fun - very frantic! The audio really helped sell it, as did the cows.

Ha ha nice game! A loved the fact that you made trees physical objects. I spent a lot of time in second level just running into trees, haystacks and cows. And I enjoyed it!

Nice combination of themes and good execution. The game feels slick and is a lot of fun to play. The tractor pulls to the right, but I think that's intentional. Either way, it made the game a lot more challenging than it looks. Great entry.

Bhahahahah! :'D I couldn't stop laughing! Jeez man... Freaking cows flying everywhere <3
Even though farming irl can sometimes feel like a race against the clock, this does take it to a whole new level!
Humor was great! And not only the slapstick stuff, also things like "Avoid .. If you want to" were great little touches for a racing game.
One bit of feedback i'd give though, is to please make the controls WASD for next time, gamers will thank you!
Oh, and also bonus points for ease of use with WebGL instead of having to download, good stuff. :)

Hilarious! Surprisingly difficult as well. Really good idea that fits well with the theme. Great work!

@saiodin Thank you for your positive comment! Aye regarding the controls, in this case wasd is for player 2 to join. A gamepad would be even better! (We used x-box controllers) Maybe we should check out to make it easier to change controls? Well thanks for your great comment! :ok_hand:

hey, I am a big fan of the menu system being part of the game/controls. The lil' tractor felt like moving around a toy tractor and the hairpin turns were quite annoying, but that seemed like part of the game. The moving around the obstacles was fun, too. I would have liked the physical objects to feel different when hitting them or having some destruction dynamics. Nicely done. Cheers!

Farming is hard! I've got a slight fps drop on big level preload. The game is fun to play, huge potential. Night setting is amazing. I'd like to see more challenge when you play single player mode — something like 'touch N tiles in M seconds' not just 'reach the finish tile in M seconds'. Just a bit of challenge.

Here is my playtest:

This is a fun game! The controls are bit difficult, but that seems to be the point. The night level looks really good, too.
