Originally created for Ludum Dare 52 (theme - "Harvest")

Original game (with less features): https://rob6566.itch.io/harvest-soon-ludum-dare-52


High Scores

The title screen shows high scores from all players. To support this, the game asks you for a display name at the start (apologies - this currently has to be entered every time you restart the game).

Controls

Required

  • Left Click - jump to tile.

Optional - camera movement

  • Mouse Scroll - zoom camera in/out.
  • Mouse right click +  drag - move camera
  • WASD / Arrows - use these to override the camera. This can be needed if you want to visit a tile that’s off screen.

Changes from jam edition

UX / Quality of life

- Music and sound (all third party - credits below)

- Animations for gaining/losing sanity/blood/score

- Lethal actions are now highlighted red

- Splash screen cleanup

- Mouse scroll to zoom in/out, Mouse-right and drag to move camera

- Each snarky comment is only shown once

- "Restart" now starts a new game immediately (previously reset the game and took you to the title screen)


Fixes

- Pending poker hands paid out when you win/lose

- You now lose on reaching 0 blood (previously less than 0)


Balance

- Removed "complex mode" toggle. It's now part of the core game (and the primary way to score points)

- Blood distance movement cost now based on distance squared (previously just distance) (to make jumping around the map prohibitively expensive)

- Reduced map size from (17*17=289) to (11*11=121) (to make this more of a constaint on high scores)

- Score decrease per move now increments every 10 moves (previously 35) (to encourage quicker wins)

- Balanced Flushes/Straights/Set scoring to more closely reflect probabilities (mostly increasing scores for sets)

- 100 points awarded for winning

- Different set of high scores from jam edition
