OBSESSED with this game. Intro cutscene is hilarious - gameplay is super fun! Definitely would be fun to play VS on this with a friend :)

A lovely game. I really liked the intro cinematics. And the gameplay was simple, fun and interesting. The key for a good multiplayer game for jams, you really nailed it.

This was really a treat. I really enjoy the gameplay and cutscenes were adorable. The only thing I found myself wanting was a short burst of speed to add a little strategy to avoiding the neighbor's tractor. Great work everyone!

Great game! Really fun, and a funny intro to boot!

Very simple, easily-understood concept and tight execution on the gameplay.

Just wish I had someone to play the multiplayer against! Lol.

Very fun! The intro was very cute. When I started playing I initially thought it's an interesting way to combine a racing game with a farming theme… Then the enemy CPU happily crossed over to my field and started harvesting my crops! D: That was a very fun moment. I am sure this game would be more fun still when playing against a friend, but I was glad to see that the CPU actually feels quite smart (but still quite easy to beat, unfortunately). Maybe it was just cut off on my screen, but there is no indication of my current score, is there? Anyway, very well polished, fun game!

Awesome fun! Love the intro and great guitar work on it too! The harvesters are really fun to control, has just the right pace, and the mechanics all work together great. I'll play it again muliplayer later with my kid too :D

Really well made game. Blowing up while crossing the road caught me by surprise and it's a great add-in. The gameplay is well balanced. The AI difficulty is at a good level. I was really enjoying myself playing this game, my wife came by and asked "Are you still playing that game?" haha.

Oh and the powerups feel overpowered and I was offput by that initially, but actually the overpowered power ups make it more fun. And since all of them are very strong, it balances out well.

Great job!

I came back to play some more and completely decimated the AI :P

What a great game! Intro is amazing, and never knew tomatoes were pretty much berries, just better! As mentioned above, at first, I thought it was about being your neighbor while everyone working on their own fields, but then he crossed to mine and I was very surprised, so it was on! Got beaten the first round, but I beat him on the next try. Very amusing to push your enemy into the traffic.
Great controls, music, sounds and graphics too. And AI felt really smart and human like. Amazing job with this one! I really love it, had a lot of fun!

It could've ended after the intro and I would've rated it well, great use of music to add comedy to the scenario! The gameplay was really surprising as well I didn't even realise you could go across the road to the other farmers field until they had stolen all my lovely blueberries and planted horrible tomatoes there. Great game <3

Very fun game and very polished! Played both modes (with AI and with player 2), we really enjoyed it. I especially loved pushing everything around when I got big :D

A very good entry, the gameplay is rich and fun in a way that's hard to achieve within three days, and you managed to add an AI and multiplayer, which as a programmer I wouldn't even approach during a jam! The music and SFX are very effective too. One thing I did have trouble with are the controls, which are typical top-down vehicle fair but take a while to get used to, which I guess is part of the fun as you keep bumping into stuff.

The intro was very well-made, funny and perfectly timed to the music, it's impressive that you could make all that by yourself, assuming that's the case (I wish you had included a description here and/or on itch so we could know more about the game and what you used :))

Incredibly fun and engaging. The quick gameplay, art, and sound effects go together really well to make the game feel snappy. I can't believe you recorded that guitar for the intro! Great entry, good work!

this game is super fun to play and is really addictive! the intro is a good cinematic, the game concept is easily understandable, and the execution is great! the AI is well scripted, bonuses are well balanced, controls are fluid, art is cool…

it is really a great idea wrapped in a great game, good job to both of you!

Hi. I can help you with that. You may be right, you can use platforms, but there will often be a lot of oafs there, so you need a better dating service. I can recommend you to try https://ladadate.com/belorusian-brides because I've only heard positive reviews about this platform and I hope it helps you too. Good luck to you my friend.

Well, quite. Although I checked your recommendation and instead of sports betting I for some reason saw other games. I think you should check pin up apostas esportivas https://casasdeapostasonline.info/pin-up-bet/ if you like sports. This website will help you see what this provider can offer to you. And according to my own experience, they won't be cheating with games.
