New Hero: Shroomella, the Mushroom Witch
We've worked with our friends over at Octosoft to bring Shroomella to Harvest Hero Origins! Renaine is an upcoming Action Platformer game about Aine, an immortal Phoenix Knight. Shroomella is a Mushroom Shroom witch aiding Aine on her quest! She uses her variety of magical mushrooms to fight off the endless Grooble hordes.
- Attack - Plant an explosive Bombshroom down in front of you!
- Blessing 1 - Gain the ability to kick Bombshrooms forward.
- Blessing 2 - Every 10th shroom planted is a Gigashroom, eating it will grant you temporary Gigantification!
Bomb!
Place a Bombshroom in front of enemy paths to blow them to smithereens!
Kick!
If you miss their path, just kick your Bombshrooms at em!
Grow!
And if all else fails, eat a Gigashroom and stomp your enemies out!
And More!
Season 3 also begins today, climb to the top of the leaderboard and become the best! On top of that, we're adding:
- A New Map
- 2 New Cards
- 2 New Enemies
- A revised story boss fight
Check our steam announcement for details
Dying while charging up no longer breaks the sound effects looping. * Zack (charging punch) * Blue (riding chainsaw, revving up)
Hey everyone, we're extremely excited to bring this brand new content to Harvest Hero Origins. We've got a new hero, new enemies, new powerups, and a new map variant available, starting today!
New Hero: Blue
We've collaborated with Pixadome, the developers behind Chenso Club, to bring Blue to Harvest Hero Origins! Chenso Club is a side-scrolling platform brawler where combos are king, so I wanted to make sure we captured that in Blue's attack.
- Attack - Swing your chainsaw in a wide arc
- Blessing 1 - Combo Piece: Tap attack quickly to follow up with a second quick swing
- Blessing 2 - Combo Piece: Tap attack quickly once more to ride your chainsaw running over any enemies in your path
New Enemies
Grooble Roller
The grooble roller rolls, as one might expect. However, it seems to roll in zigzagging patterns which is quite strange.
Grooble Digger
The grooble digger is a crafty grooble, capable of traveling underground, only popping up when it needs air. Don't touch it or the dirt its tossing up or you'll get hurt!
New Power-ups
Comet
Gain control of a massive comet disintegrating everything it touches!
Emerald Shield
Blessed by the Tortoise, you become invulnerable to damage!
Patch Notes
Zack
Wishlist Zack's origin game Cricket here
- Can now press "Attack" while lunging to cancel your lunge. This provides Zack with a more technical approach to moving and damaging. When canceling your lunge, you'll deal an additional damage at the stopping point.
General
- New: Leaderboard now supports scrolling up and down
- New: A music track player has been added to Survival mode, so you can select which song you'd like to play along to.
- Rename "Boxing Hero" -> "Zack". I felt it's better representation for Zack and Cricket to not dub over the name.
- Bug Fix: Maximum "delta" time is set to 1/60th of a second to prevent large frame skips
- Clone Nerf: Maximum of 5 clones at once
- Game no longer crashes when you die using the Weaselly Punk skin
Now Available
It's been a long road getting here, but we're finally releasing! Who knew Summer 2021 was in February of 2022?
From PAX West to Steam
To everyone who played the game at PAX West 2021, we thoroughly enjoyed watching you experience the game and your feedback helped us improve the game immensely. We hope you enjoy the game it has grown into since then.
Competitive Steam Leaderboards
We want to embrace the competitive nature of arcade games by leaning into the leaderboard. Gemdrop Games will announce prizes in the future for the top players on the leaderboards when the first season ends (around end of March). Also, don't forget to save your scores! "Save Score" is how your scores get uploaded to the steam leaderboards :D
Hey everyone, Thanks for sticking around while we develop this game! We're very excited to announce we'll be launching the game this upcoming Tuesday on February 8th, with a launch discount of 10%! Spread the word, tell a friend, tell an enemy, tell your mom and dad! We really hope you enjoy the game that we've worked so hard on, and can find an enjoyable and long lasting arcade wave defense experience in Harvest Hero Origins. Compete on the leaderboards with your favorite hero and skin, play local co-op or online (steam remote play) with a friend, and play through the origin story of the Harvest Hero. We'll be keeping an eye on any bug reports at launch, and will be adamant about being quick to respond. Thank you all!
Hey Harvest Heroes!
We've been plugging away at this game and are getting very close to completion! I just wanted to give you a quick update and let you in on what's new from the demo that was available at PAX West.
The biggest feature we've been working on is Steam Leaderboard support! With Steam Leaderboards, you'll be able to save your high scores in Survival mode and compete against the entire world. We're hoping that we'll be able to foster a healthy community of high score chasers.
We have a few finishing touches to make on leaderboard support, I'd like for the scoreboard to display which hero(es) were used for that run, and how many people were playing (solo or co-op).
Additionally, there's a few new enemies, cards, and an entirely new playable Hero.
Look forward to Harvest Hero Origins in Q1 of 2022!
