Cute little game, but I did not fully understand the growing mechanic - I only seemed able to grow corn and I never figured out what the thing in my inventory all the way to the right was. Music and graphics were nice!

@havchr Yeah, if I had time I would have done an in-game tutorial to help with that. The thing on the right was a watering can, which instantly waters crops, and to get more seeds to grow, you open the shop by pressing tab. Thanks for playing!
I enjoyed this, felt like I was playing an old school NES game!
I enjoyed this. I did find that the exponential return on corn did have me at points running from the top of the screen to the bottom planting long lines of corn for future harvesting, but thats kind of the point I suppose lol. This was a very enjoyable experience.
I only managed to score 920. Can you get anything other than corn or did I not make it far enough? I think maybe I harvested more than you're supposed to?
@slantyoj There's a shop you can access by pressing "Tab", yeah. I wish I had time to make it more discoverable that there's multiple pages in the "how to play" screen :/
Nice game! Love the graphics (corns look like sponges) and music. The overall pace of the game is good, I still have time to draw different shapes with corn seeds. * Somehow pressing tab on the web version causes the game to freeze, but the windows version works well.
I like the concept. also the fact that some of the zombies are vegan (they prioritize crops over humans) is funny.
I like this game.The enemies really made me nervous.I plant and harvest everything as soon as possible.Overfall a nice game!
The only problem is that I have no shadow.It makes me look strange.
@slantyoj How the hell time you spend to get 920?
The game is very nice actually.
Cool game! I love that we came up with such similar ideas for the game loop :D
A really nice execution on the theme! Sadly the browser version is a little buggy as pressing TAB freezes the game. Game also freezes when restarting so I had to reload the page every time. I liked the humor. Well done!
@passbykamenrider I'm glad you had fun! I'm pretty happy with my choice not to restrain crops to a grid lol. And yeah, Godot still has some weird behavior with it's web exports lol
@kenneth-dd Lmao I didn't even realize that, that's pretty funny. Thanks for playing!
@poietic-ruby Thanks for playing! I can't believe I forgot to give the player a shadow lol, I completely spaced it!
@v0odo0 Thanks for playing!
@madcoil That's true, though I wasn't even considering making my game wave based, so I'm glad you did! Thanks for playing!
@euske Yeah, Godot still has some bugs with it's web export (I've even submitted a github issue because of this jam lol), so I'm glad I also had desktop builds. Thanks for playing!
I like all the different ways to get more guns. The timer on the seed plot was a really good idea too, since there was minimal clutter. The shop's really nice. The tutorial was really well done too. All in all, nicely done.
I couldn't always place seeds or water where I wanted. The circle would be red, even though nothing was near. After some time the ground would be fertile again though.
@pincushion Thanks for playing, I'm glad you enjoyed it! What you might have been encountering with the invalid placement is that you also can't be too far away from your character? I think I forgot to explicitly describe the placement rules in the tutorial, oops.
Nice music, gives good vibes. The sprites and background also good. I couldn't do much with all the corn seeds, but it was fun to kill the enemies and get band-aids :smile: Fun game, really enjoyed.
@manchmalscott On man, I played it again, and I think you're right. I knew about that placement rule too. The player should be able to figure it out, since it's a common mechanic. I don't think it's something that needs to be in the tutorial. I blame the zombies.
@smashcrate Thanks for playing, and I'm glad you enjoyed! The music was a first for me, I had never tried to do music myself before, but I'm really happy with how it came out. If you have too many corn seeds, maybe you want to go into the shop and buy some pumpkins lol
I'm a big fan of the risk/reward dynamic in deciding whether to plant crops or use them for weapons, so good job. I had some trouble accessing the shop in the web version but still had fun. The text of the one-liners when you equipped weapons was a nice touch :)
Boy is it hard! I just want to peacefully harvest my crops and these f**kers show up throwing rocks at me!! The song is catchy, the leg movement a bit weird. One thing though: I found the game stuck when health went to 0. Is there a way to restart without refreshing the browser?
@kymakesgames Thanks for playing! I definitely spent a good time trying to balance all the factors that go into that plant/equip dynamic and I could probably spend a whole month focused only on that, lmao. Also, the puns were required. Basically the first thing I wrote down on my planning doc was "En Gourd" and I just went from there!
@evil23 Thanks for playing! It's definitely a tricky game lol, I spent a long time adjusting how and when the enemies spawn and it could definitely use more adjusting still lol. When your health goes to zero there's supposed to be a game over screen that shows you your score, if you aren't seeing that then it's definitely a bug :/
Don't touch my plants! I was genuinely sad when I saw the zombie eat one of three plants I had. Cute game! For some reason, I was expecting the corn to start shooting at the zombies hahhahah
@jackypark9852 I guess in the screenshot the popcorn bullet is like,,,,directly over the crop lmaooo. Thanks for playing, and for giving me my 20th rating!
Really cute game! The music is impressive, pretty sure I recognize those as BeepBox tunes! The game unfortunately crashed every time I pressed tab to open the shop! :smile: I feel like that is unintentional but I still had a good time, corn was enough to sustain me! Great job!
@coatline Thanks for playing, and yeah those are BeepBox tunes! My first time using it, so I'm glad you liked it :)
I'm sorry that it crashed when you opened the shop, no idea why that's happening but (assuming you played the web build) godot's web builds are...rough sometimes lol.
