*Harvest Space*

Story:
You are on space station and oxygen is limited
Space station is collapsing and You need tomake a sacrifice to the goddess of fertlity to save your life
It accepts only plants as offering
But plants makes oxygen and you have limited supply of it
Harvesting stops oxygen regeneration
Make the biggest offering and become the chosen one and be saved by the greate one

P.S. It is a multiplayer game and you will be join by other players.
Your goal is to find plants and bring them to the statue.
On top of the screen there is an oxygen bar, when it is over you will die.
Rooms with not harvested plants has oxygen regeneration, when you harvest it the regeneration stops

IMPORTANT
The game uses PHOTON CLOUD free plan - it is no more than 20 players at the same time.
Also it uses host mode - one of the player is a host - so if host leave the game it will shutdown the game - you need to restart
Ping can be rough (300+ ms) so just suffer

you can change the nickname in main menu in options

This is brilliant! A multiplayer game! Wow, had to call my friends to play it, but once we've figured it out, it was a blast! Great job!

My experience was pretty laggy. I had like 4 others randomly in the game but kept rubber banding.

I have thought about a multiplayer jam before but it would be a lot more work and I already struggle getting a single player game completed in 3 days. I do have some pretty good net code in my non Ludum Dare games. Also convincing the people I do Ludum Dare with to attempt multiplayer would be hard.

Very cool game though. I wish it didn't lag so much for me.

I wish I could obstruct others on their way or block the doors :laughing:
Very nice entry! Especially since its a multiplayer game!

Well done pulling off multiplayer in the jam! Environment and character modeling are great. It's a fun scramble, but would benefit from additional ways to interact with other players.

Fun game concept, can see it being very fun with a big group to see who can collect the most. Didn't expect to see any multiplayer stuff in the jam! As a solo player I joined a game in progress and lost almost immediately which was a bit of a bummer. The modelling was smooth and the animations were easy on the eyes, visually very solid.

Multiplayer is not a common thing in these jams. Well done there.
I had 2 other people in the game and I beat them both. GG Me.
Great idea overall. Having some interactions with players to get them to drop plants would be a fun addition.

@crimoudin it's was my first multiplayer game. now i know - it's hard. but i hope that next time we'll can do better.

Multiplayer game on a jam is always a cool thing, congrats!

Love you concept!

But, oh my, it is lagging on my 300k PEKA as fuck. Please make standalone build! Because webgl chrome builds lagging more often than we'd like. :(

Anyway, nice mood and take on gameplay.

What a good entry! I know how hard making a multiplayer game during a jam can be, and this is a polished experience! I liked how I could still experience the core loop solo as well. Keep on making games :smile:

It supposed to be very fun and competitive game when you play with friends, but I was playing alone and it was a bit upset :( Overall, I really love this type of games and this is a beautiful entry!

This is really cool! It makes me want to make a multiplayer game next LD! Only problem is that there was no one playing :cry: but on the bright side, I won!
