Initial Harvester by profan

IT'S ALMOST HARVESTING SEASON!
Well, rather, it is harvesting season and you've got 120 seconds to save as many of your crops as you can before they rot, and your trusty old combine harvester, as noisy and creaky as it may be, is all you've got.
Now lets see, how much can you harvest before your crops are forfeit?
Controls:
- WASD/Arrow Keys - Movement
- Shift - Boost
- R - Restart
- ESC - Go Back
Note the controls should work even for AZERTY layouts as they're mapped to physical keys rather than the keycodes!
Tools:
- Godot 3.5.1
- Tilesetter
- Aseprite

i also made fences that i was gonna place around the level (and would break/damage your harvester a little like the rocks but less than the rocks did), but i decided towards the end that maybe they'd just be more annoying than interesting to have to go around :)
(another idea a friend of mine sadly gave me way too late, was to have WASD control the harvester and then have arrow keys control the truck which would collect the grain and you had to match both up to not waste grain harvested!)
I appreciate game with short "runs" and clear goals, so this one was pretty nice!
Good job!
Perhaps what would've made it even better is multiple levels (layouts) and multiple vehicles with different stats. :thinking: And of course - global leaderboards! :smile: And now that I mention it, I'm thinking that I should perhaps set up such a system, in case I decide to add it to my game next game jam. :thinking: It's something I've wanted, but never had time to do on the game jam itself. :thinking:
Make the system! I'll probably do the same and make sure I have one I can just directly hook up next gamejam too :)
And you're probably right that making it level based and maybe adding at least one or two more would have been interesting, initially I was looking at an infinite map, but that got scrapped due to time!
I might go back and add a few more levels and fix a few rough edges, but we will see :eyes:
Thanks for playing!

I honestly have nothing to complain about here, a super solid small game that has me curious if it is possible to harvest everything... Well done!

Even though I'm not supposed to, it's actually somewhat satisfying to hit the rocks haha!
Relaxing, just me, my harvester and crops. Also I liked the art!
I like that it doesn't require you to play too long, and you can always try to beat your highscore.
Some notes: there was a lag every time I harvested crops for the first time and also at first I thought the boost was limited but it seems it's infinite. Besides these minor things it was a smooth experience :)
