Just wow! Very dynamic game with great visuals! I especially liked the tractor, huh. The site where the game is downloaded also looks cool. It is also worth noting the work of the developers, the game works without errors
Very fun game play! During my first "crows attack" wave, I didn't know that I was supposed to follow the truck and felt like I died for no reason, also the enemies were very tanky, and I felt that they took a bit too long to heal. Also, I loved the art style and all the animations.
This is so cool!
This is really cool, awesome art and animations, lots of visual polish all over the place. The shooting especially feels very solid, though a bit less so on the shotgun, which seems a bit too "splashy" and unpredictable? I'd really love to be able to progress past the second wave, but it seems I just randomly die when the crows start attacking, despite apparently being clear of all enemies.
The death animation is just wonderful though, so it was a pleasure to die a few times trying to get there. =D
* Update *
After coming back to this game a bit later, I realized that I was taking hits from crows eating the crops I'd harvested. It wasn't very intuitive that this was the case, since it directly takes out my hit points when it happens, but after this discovery, I was able to play through the rest of the game and beat the game. Very nice work, I like this one a lot!

Really enjoyed it, fun little experience, aside from the shotgun being a little underwhelming, I really like it!
The art is lovely, and the corn's voice kept me chuckling as I fired at them. I can absolutely see a ton of care went into a very high level of polish. The only point of confusion was following the tractor, didn't know that the crows taking from the truck was hurting me. In this case a separate health for the truck may have cleared that up, but regardless I quite enjoyed my time playing!
This is decent top down shooter, with some nice controls. I especially like clunky way gun rotates. Enemy designs look good and adding both vegetables to harvest and crows to be annoying was good idea.
Graphics are well done. If there is something to improve, characters (and some objects) could do drop shadows. In game palette also could be bit more unified. Menus are beautiful, nothing to improve here graphically.
This was pretty cool. Loved the art. I didn't want to change weapons too much... I don't know if that's a bad or a good thing... but I had fun.
Overall, really impressed with this title. The art and sound design is stellar. The way it all works together is very satisfying. Also really great menus. Had a lot of fun playing this :)
I like this one a lot :) Amazing job overall, it has interesting gameplay, it has levels and variety with the crows attacks, and an end. And nice graphics and fitting music. I could have enjoyed a harder difficulty curve, maybe some curveballs here and there, but otherwise it's a solid gamejam game! Congrats :)
Pretty cool game ! switching weapon is very nice I really enjoy playing this game
The art design was so great! Funny little demented corn creatures, haha.
It took me some time to realize I had to pick the corn husks up once they were dead. The tutorial screen said "pick up/put down" .. but not exactly _what_ (and my brain quickly forgot about it). Some indicator (at least for the first corn) would have been a dead giveaway, like the arrow floating above the cart!
Once I figured that out, it was on!

I also found a bit of a glitchy area where the sprite didn't switch back :) Screenshot 2023-01-11 203943.png
ayy i also found the glitchy hawkins found but besides a visual silly this game is pretty well-polished! I love the screenshakes and especially the bullet time with the scythe hits mmmmm mmmmmmmmmm :thumbsup:
@hawkin and @shreemp Oopsie! Thank you for pointing this out I'll make sure to do a lil fix after the voting :))
And I agree! I wish we put a bit of time to doing some lil tutorial/popup things, 100% noted for next time!
Had a blast playing the game! The art is amazing and weapon variety was fun too! I wish it were possible to pause the game though. That aside, great work on the game!
This was one of the best I've played so far, out of over 50 games. Really polished, hard yet balanced, fun. You absolutely nailed it xD
This was a blast to play but super unforgiving. I wish I had a bit more leeway to see what's above me as I was shooting most of the crows blind. Definitely loved playing as anime Rayman, 10/10 on that part.
Good mechanics, loved the slow mo and sound effect when we get hit. Very solid entry mate!

Nice game, loved the sprites just poking out over the top of the crops!
