Intro

Your goal is to harvest as much wheat as possible. Each wheat spike gives you a +1. If you hit a rock you lose 5 spikes. It's game over when your spikes go negative.

How much can you score?

Commands

A/D or left/right arrow to move.

Note

This is my first Ludum Dare entry, I know it's not much but I've picked up Unity 2 days ago. This was just an opportunity to learn a new technology.
The soundtrack was generated with: https://www.aiva.ai/

I really liked your music, and the graphics were pretty too. The gameplay was pretty barebones but fun. I only got to around 100 though before it got too fast for me to keep up :p

205! A simple game but very nice to play. I liked the atmosphere.

Got 169! Cool concept. Sometimes all lanes would be blocked by a stone which is a penalty we cannot avoid, felt a little bit unfair. Gameloop works. Maybe add another treshhold other than 0 to get the game over screen. Neat game!

Not bad for a first entry! Very simple and well done. Maybe not a whole lot there, but for the time constraints and knowing that back story, this is a really solid entry. Kudos!

I got myself a score of 217. Cool little game and especially nice if just picked Unity few days ago! Very cool that you could use AI to make the music. I have to check out the site you mentioned.

Nicely done!

Good adaptation of a lane runner for the theme. Could add some powerups and stuff to kill the monotony but good job!

My high score: 164.

Oh my, I started getting motion sick about half way through that!. I really liked how it transitioned from "get all of the wheat" to "get as much wheat as possible without hitting anything" to "minimize incoming damage" =).

Good job, the game plays decently, I got a little sick when things sped up though but I'm not sure how you could avoid that. Some juice would be nice but considering this was a compo game and your first time using unity you did a great job and made a fun game with a lot of features like procgen, sfx, highscoring, menus ect.
