Jack the Reaper (Fab Dynamic)

This is a farm.  Each plot of land needs to be tended to nine times to yield maximum harvest.  Avoid GRUMPY farmers.  They will steal part of your harvest!   If your hoard grows big enough you can buy a farm of your own!

Made in unity 2021 using the commodore 64 palette (sprites in aseprite) for Ludum Dare 52 (here is a link to the Ludum Dare Submission Page for this game).  Font is the freeware Arcade Classic by Glitch

Controls:

• wasd or arrow keys to move.  
• press 'n' to stash your harvest and move on to the next level
  • This is a significant part of the strategy of beating the game in the lowest time.

Note: Audio didn't make it in before the deadline so there is no sound.  I recommend cranking up the excellent 2021 Jimmy Barnes album Flesh and Blood (In particular the tracks: Flesh and Blood, Around in Circles, and I Move Slow).  For some background Jimmy Barnes is the amazing Scottish-Australian classic rock artist who has one of the greatest rock voices of all time (he has been in the business 50yrs) and is also known as 'The Screaming Cowboy'
