Occult Cowboy - right up my alley! I know you called them evil demonic lettuce, but in my head I called them "devil's lettuce" :). Looks like you spent some time on the cowboy and lettuce demon artwork. Good job!

The art is nice but the aiming and sound effects are awkward.

@stephen-coley Thank you for the kind words. My wife helped me with the artwork.

@greenboxgames yeah, I was getting pissed off at the aiming too. I was trying to go for a Robotron feel xD.

Fun programmer graphics, and good use of the theme! The monsters get repetitive, though, and while it's very useful to be able to shoot diagonally, it's a bit odd when there's no diagonal-facing guy image. The score seemed to change a bit erratically, sometimes going up when the monster appears, and sometimes when I shoot it.

@panda Thank you for the feedback. I was thinking about adding a boss but I didn't really have as much time as I had hoped to work on it. The score goes up once the enemy has completely faded and when you start the game it should go up to 1000 as that is a relic of me testing the score animation thingy that I just forgot to disable xD.

Pretty okay game. Doesn't seem to fit the theme too much, but that's okay. I like the art. Controls are a little wonky, maybe in part due to the lack of a diagonal sprite. My score did seem to go all over the place.

I disagree with @ghostgoatsgames with the theme. If you play long enough, you'll notice the box slowly shrinking as you "run out of space". Fun idea, and I like the "demonic lettuce" :stuck_out_tongue: Nice entry!
