I've always been bad at rhythm games so there's no way I'm beating this, especially when it seems to be one of the harder ones I've played. The perspective makes it a bit disorienting when I need to hit certain notes. But otherwise, fun game.
Wasn't expecting an opening cinematic with voiceover and music. Pleasantly surprised. I like the spotlight effect on the player. Though I wish the turn to place the corn in the barn wasn't so tight. I got stuck clipping on something a few times and couldn't recover. Either way, it was an interesting twist on the combine gameplay by having spooky scarecrows chase the player. I found my go to strategy was to outrun them to the otherside of the map and farming as much as I could before they caught up.
I think I would have preferred the animation to move a bit faster and maybe some more clear directions for where the player should go. I wasn't sure if I got the end by activating the switch or if there was more to it. I beat the game with a body sack so I'm not sure if I glitched it or not. The music was a good choice.
Love the audio, straight out of a commodore 64 game. Fits the gameplay well. Love the gameplay, especially after learning the breath weapon can be used as a tool to deflect arrows. Didn't know about the upgrades and heals off the bat, maybe a popup when you're low health could clue people in better? Either way I think its ridiculously fun to shoot pixel fire at people as a dragon.
Pretty cool and themey game. Found it tough to get enough spices before dying. But nonetheless a great entry.
Was having trouble with it at the start and wasn't sure if I would get it, but I'm glad I stuck around and finally got it. Beat it and got 5. Was pretty fun. Felt like I was back on windows 95.
The harvested becomes the harvester. Good job. I appreciate the recharging health and the change in stage. Definitely one of the harder games I've played. But the click to move mechanic and shooting while stationary is an interesting gimmick.
I would have liked to see space double as a hover button. I was finding myself running out of fingers on some puzzles when having to hold shift, w, press space, and throw with x. But that might be because this wasn't designed for keyboards. The music was a good choice, I liked the combat and loop of getting to the end points. All in all, good game.
Found instructions a bit lacking on how to buy more stuff, but once I figured it out, things went smoothly. The loop of farming and buying and placing turrets was solid, I found myself getting to 20 minutes on pro mode. Favorite building is the machine gun, least favorite is the sniper tower. Found myself wishing the sniper tower had more HP and didn't die the moment I placed it. Would have liked to clip through my buildings more often than not, especially as more were built. But having dozens of turrets turning to lighting up the bugs was cool. Music was a good choice. These kinds of games always have a really addicting gameplay loop and this one is no exception.

The chiptune music is superb. The pixel graphics are great. Dragging between machines can get tiring, but that's only if you aren't taking advantage of the fact that you can drag multiple items at once. Good job.

Theme is pretty good and so is the audio. When I saw Fmod show up, I knew that would be the case. Only things I'd like to see improved are options for faster movement speed and a more clear indication when the flames died. I found myself constantly walking to the back to make sure I didn't mishear a prompt. But this was definitely a fun little game.

Love the style and the mechanic. Felt really good to shift from one to another node quickly. Was confused at the start whether I was dashing or not, so that could maybe use a bit more guidance or text to really hammer that point home.
