Nice concept and art. But I don't understand why to destroy the fresh content XD I would prefer to keep it and sell it

Nice harvest, as the ones I remember from my childhood

fgamer994 Oct 2022, 15:05

Realy thought it was about vegetables. XD

But I realy liked the soundtrack and the simple gameplay for what it was.

Cope4 Oct 2022, 15:08

Interesting concept. I would think that handling this kind of product would be worth more pay.

Adinimys4 Oct 2022, 15:08

Didn't expect this type of harvesting from the cover art of your page. Nice subverting of expectations ! x)
I had trouble understanding the basic controls to open and get objects out. It might be nice to add something like a scalpel sprite to the cursor in order to signify what the action is doing.
The gameplay is really basic and get quickly repetitive (is there an end to it ? ) but considering the clever presentation of your theme it was rather fun to play for some time. To be fair I feel like your employee handbook is really the best part of this game x)

Well done ! :)

Very cool take. Gameplay felt very smooth and satisfying, even when you fail. Only thing I can fault is that it gets a little repetitive fairly quickly. Overall thumbs up!

Hey awesome take on the theme, it is refreshing.

I might just be bad, but I have trouble identifying what should go where. I mean for some parts it is easy, but for others I have the feeling that i tried left / right and both are incorrect.

I like the mood and overall aesthetics of the game, it is well set up by the introduction, graphics and music and "upgrades" as well. I'm not a fan of the gameplay, but I understand this a satire from such jobs, I would like more game inside it though :D . Also it would be great if there was more feedback to actions, for example at the beginning i couldn't understand what I'm doing wrong as the containers didn't want to open / I felt they opened randomly. I didn't feel like there was ab end goal also, but I enjoyed it mostly because of the awesome animation of opening the container.

After buying "Thank you" the shop buttons stopped having texts.

Oh quite surprising this one. I won't spoil, but even if I understand the joke... A trigger warning might be useful. You never know who's playing!

Gameplay is easy to understand, it's effective. The surprise was big, I wasn't expecting this ahahahah

Lomby4 Oct 2022, 15:55

Fun game! Was not expecting those "containers" haha.
Took a few attempts to figure out how to open the containers (I think I was clicking at the wrong location at first) but played very smoothly once I got that. Great models and sfx, had the upgrade button text disappear after a while, but other than that no issues.
Congrats!

amarokczukay4 Oct 2022, 17:08

wow i was not expecting that (as many other as comments suggest) haha fun to play, fluid graphics, simple but nice

Annie Owl4 Oct 2022, 19:13

Have not expected to work with that kind of packages :sweat_smile:

The models look pretty and the sounds are perfect! :smile: Great game!

omphh4 Oct 2022, 20:15

My favourite kind of harvest! Wasn't expecting a twist haha
Gameplay was smooth and intuitive though. Good take on the theme as well! Good job!! :v:

fabula_rasa4 Oct 2022, 21:19

The nature of the containers was quite surprising :laughing: That's a fun take on the theme.

The controls work fine, and I only met one bug. After I bought the Management Thank You upgrade, the shop items disappeared. I could still buy the last upgrade by clicking on the textless field.

Sound effects are just perfect, and the container diversity upgrade made me laugh. The gameplay gets old after a while - but it kept me playing long enough to buy all the upgrades.

Eugenik4 Oct 2022, 22:19

Fun game, extremely creative

Roitchie4 Oct 2022, 22:57

Those certainly weren't the types of packages I was expecting. It was quite fun and enjoyable though. The squelching sound effects of the organs were great and the gameplay, while a bit repetitive was fun and satisfying to do.

SudoCat4 Oct 2022, 23:23

This made me chuckle far more than I expected. The misdirect with the instructions is truly a fantastic choice, and your writing is wonderful. The game felt smooth for most actions, especially yeeting the _products_ into the appropriate containers. A perfect piece of bite sized entertainment.

Steve74115 Oct 2022, 03:52

Well it was an upsetting task, but it was all worth it for that morale booster!

LDJam user 3001849 Oct 2022, 01:31

I jumped a bit when I stated playing because I thought this was gonna be a cute game about separating bad fruit or something, I was not ready. Very innovative and well made though. Good job!

MrBamboo9 Oct 2022, 19:06

What is this lol ! Automne harvest ??? 🤣

I did 4$

GodDoesPlayDice11 Oct 2022, 10:16

Very good sound design

Aidturith11 Oct 2022, 18:58

Nice presentation overall, a small tutorial would have made it even better!

Sibi15 Oct 2022, 16:05

Love the sense of humor and the art is amazing. Gameplay ist quite satisfying at first but doesn't really keep my attention for a long time. Great name though ;)
