I liked the sprites, and a farming/shooting mashup is a cool idea. I don't know if I missed something but I couldn't tell what the win or lose conditions were, perhaps timed waves of crows you have to fight off would be better than them randomly appearing as it would give the player a definite measure of how well they did in what wave they got up to before losing. It's really cool to see a submission in pygame! It's an awesome library that I wish more people knew about, and great work in taking the challenge of creating a game with no engine to help :)

Grats on your first game! The art is really nice, and I like the combination of these genres. While they are incompatible, they still make sense. *Definitely* keep to game development, this is of amazingly high quality.

Hey, nice entry! I like the idea and the multiple difficulty modes, and the pixel art works really well. It seems like the time needed for growing/eating are a little too equal, as the game seems to get in a loop of progression towards a win, but I reckon that could be fixed with a couple of number changes.

It's a shame there isn't an easier way to distribute pygame projects, but I guess most of us at least have python already installed :P Anyway great stuff, hope you enjoyed making it!

Hey! first of all I have to say nice little game. :) I liked the graphics very much especially the ravens are nice! I also liked that you added sound effects eventhough they are a little bit too high pitched in my ears. I think a sound which sounds more like a rifle would be more suitable. It took me a long time installing the game so please provide an executable so probably more players will download the game. Since have no idea about coding I can't give any feedback on this.

@benskca @gegy1000 @samboyer276 @BloodyOrange Thank you all so much for the feedback! This has really inspired me and given me motivation to keep going! :)

@BloodyOrange Unfortunately, I ran low on time so I had to put some sound effects together a bit faster than I would have liked too. I am looking in to compilers for Python, but sorry for the installation trouble :(. Hope you enjoyed it, anyway.

Once again, thanks all!
