Harvest Swarm

A simple farming game with 2bits graphics!

Tools:

Engine: Unity

Audio: BeepBox and Audacity

Graphs: Aseprite

Everything was done from scratch (COMPO attempt), but as I missed the deadline by 10 minutes (compiling and uploading to itch io took a while...) it is now a JAM entry!

Instructions:

* Move with the arrows (or W/S/A/D)

* Touch the tool to grab it

* Execute action with "Space"

* Use the Hoe tool to prepare the soil

* Use seeds on prepared soil

* Use the water on the seeds

* Wait for the seed to grow

* Harvest :)

* Exterminate the bugs with the spray! If they are left alive for too long, you lose a life.

* Bugs will spawn on crops, unless there isn't any available (then they will spawn nearby!)

* If there is a bug on the crop, you cant do anything there!

That's all!

Hacked features:

* The action was supposed to be effective on the diretion the player is facing. Due to time constraints and other bugs, the action is executed on the visible "square", and is always a bit above the player :)

* The grasshopper's animation was done using only "scaling", as lot of time was already invested on the other many animations and tiles.

Development summary:

* Creating all the graphics took a LONG time, which meant Game Design/Programming/Audio ended up not being polished
* Lots of critical features ended up being left out of, which made the game feel kinda "boring"
* Compilation time/file upload and setup/Internet provider's availability should be taken in consideration when submitting :)
