I guess I missed you! I was trying to fight you! Its interesting, I like the title. Multiplayer in 3 days is pretty hard.

Very satisfying gameplay loop! Controls and game are super easy to pick up and very responsive. Camera flows nicely with the harvester and everything just works together really well. That you managed to support so many systems for a jam is also quite impressive.

At the time of this writing, the itch link does not seem to work. I couldn't get the multiplayer (which also is an impressive feature for a jam!) to work either. The menu would just stay stuck and could not go into local mode either. An exit button would be convenient.

Perhaps there isn't any audio, but if there is, I could not hear it on either the online or Windows version.

Great job!

The game has an interesting idea! I even got a little dizzy while playing. It is worth noting the work of the programmer for creating bots, changing car models and for the opportunity to play online! True, the game did not have enough visuals, but it's not scary

Idea works well and even camera is surprising good. Don't have any idea how that wonky panning logic works, but it always shows enough to keep game enjoyable and not frustrating.

Very fun overall. I did find that the camera, though it does a good job tracking the action made me dizzy, especially when it made jarring movements.

Great job!

Nice game! Multiplayer, spherical physics and AI - impressive! Really like that you can see collected stuff in the back of the truck

The driving feels nice and responsive. The camera tracks very well, but I'd have liked some smoothing. Congrats!

Pretty good game! Controls are nice and mechanics are intuitively understandable. Probably fun to play in coop but I played alone which was a bit of fun too! :)

I'm really impressed what you managed to create is such short time. The steering feels great. The models are simple but esthetic. I tried to use PUN once and it was a pain for me but after playing your game I think I need to give it another try :)

BTW I almost named my game same as you - ultimately I swapped the word order and I have Moon Harvester :)

Fun little game! I liked how you took the classic that people would think for the theme and made it literal. Good job on getting multiplayer! Keep on making games :smile:

The embed in the LDJAM page isn't loading for me and the itch.io page is a 404! (for the latter, just a guess but do you have to 'publish' it or something first?)

Interesting game! Simple gameplay, but really impressive that you've implemented online gameplay in a few days :).
Well done!

I like how immediately the game clicks. Can't test it, but real crazy if you got online working in this time slot. I couldn't tell if there was any differences between the harvesters apart from the visuals.

You really need an artist. With him you could make a perfect game I think!

This game was cool, just simple trucks and squares, nothing embarrassing. Love it!

Unfortunately we couldn't get multiplayer to work, however from playing locally against bots I can say that the game loop is simple to understand, however maybe too straight forward to create a good challenge. It seems to be pretty dependant on RNG. However it is still an impressive entry for multiplayer and I think it wouldve been fun to play against my friend.

Another note is that the graphics to me clash too much, I think having the moon be more basic looking like the cars wouldve worked well, or the other way round, having the cars be more realistic to match the moon <3

It is so weird how I rate a game by 9 y.o. higher than half of 'adult' games. And I didn't care about his age during rating process, it is not a patronizing, he made objectively decent game in my opinion. It is have clear gameplay, nice dynamics, simple cute graphics. Can't play multiplayer though.
