Harvest Doom
A small team-based multiplayer PvP farming simulator.
Farm and sell crops to score points, steal from your opponents and try not to get shot!
The crops give different score values, so try to find good ones on the map.
WARNING: This game has no single-player mode, so get a friend to play and just join the default server together. (There may be other players there already)
One game lasts 10 minutes.
How to play:
Move by clicking on a tile.
Switch to grab mode with "E", then select a tile to grab or drop an item.
Use items with "SPACE" and select a target or direction.
Use "ESC" or "W" to switch back to move mode.
Reload the shotgun by standing on the ammo box that belongs to your team.
Harvest crops by clicking them. They don't grow without water!
Sell crops by standing in front of the dropbox. Make sure you don't sell it at your opponents farm.

It is a very cool idea, but I'm not sure how to find my friend in the server. This is how I imagine Ohio to be like. Friendless, farms, and guns.

This is a great take on a farming + combat game! The controls can be a bit fiddly to work with when getting started.

Was Fairly Confused by the controls but still fun

Pretty interesting idea to do a multiplayer game for a game jam. Was quite funny playing with our teams members and some other random people in the server. We all won with a score of 0 on the first play through. Think the premise is good but could do with a little more QOL features and the controls felt a little awkward/sluggish.

Incredibly ambitious, very impressed you guys pulled this off! Had fun doing the 2 playthroughs I did. First one we all won because we didn't know what was happening, second one I cracked on farming and luckily only got shot once so I managed to win :P

I went through 2 and a bit games, the first one ended about the same time I worked out the controls. The second one I tried being aggressive, but there's not a lot of value to be had in killing people. (I guess I should be stealing things instead.) The third one I just farmed melons and got to like $800.
It's an incredible idea, I don't know how well it's going to fare through the rating process due to its required player count(where even 2/3 seems too low to really get the full experience.) and the fact that it takes a few tries to see how the whole thing comes together.
If you wanted to continue this you might need to look into the control scheme a little, it gets in the way of the sort-of fast paced game you're going for.
Nicely done.

@zyrconium thanks for the nice feedback!
We don't really expect to get a lot of ratings, to really make it fun you probably need 8 Players. Im curious if we will ever see that number in the next few days. Probably not, but that is OK.
The control sheme is actually a result of our design process. We first wanted to make a turn based game and then later decided to set the turn timer to 1 tick to make it "real-time" instead. I don't think we will do anything further with it but if we did I think we would change it to wasd instead.

Very ambitious project! ^^ great work, I only played by myself though but I'm sure if i could have found someone they would have just shot me, or I'd shoot them haha

Very innovative with the Multiplayer, though I didn't see anyone.
Really need to read the description to get the hang of the game.

Me and my friends played this and I initially dismissed it as being barebones and unfinished but once we got into it we actually had a lot of fun. Thanks for allowing other players to hear a shotgun cocking, it's great for comedic effect.

Me and my friends played this for a good 10 mins at least! It was pretty fun!

Very interesting idea and solid gameplay. I can see a lot of work on this work.
I wish I could test this game with someone.
Congrats for the great entry!

The most misbehaved farmers I've ever seen! Really ambitious game, and you did a great job with it.

This is a cool idea, unfortunately there weren't a lot of people on the server when i hopped on, but i saw a lot of promise in the idea, amazing thing to do in 72 hrs, awesome work!

There's a lot of work in this, and I would have given you an extra half point in humour if we could blow away the scarecrow :) Nice that there's better seeds hidden elsewhere - this is fun to play!
My only gripes would be:
- the control scheme wasn't that intuitive, but hours of Skyrim has me convinced 'use' is 'E' not space so I found myself switching between the two
- I can carry 8 melons and one shotgun but not one shotgun and one tiny seed packet (I know, I know)
Good game I spent a fair bit of time in though - well done indeed :)

Fun, but slightly confusing.
Got shot by the first person I found.
Second person helped me grow crops
