Yo crowseeds, whaddup, I'm just seeing this now!

Love this one! It's very simple, but the tumbleweed movement offers surprisingly a lot of depth with how you can position. The action is great and the progression feels very nice!

Luv ya!

I played through it all and it was awesome. Most of the waves were really easy; if you beat wave 1, you can easily make it to wave 10.  The sprites are very cool and well made, along with the guns

Dang, this was something I was not getting into at all at first. I made the mistake of skimming through the instructions for controls and that was it and I didn't get how weapons worked, but once I understood, I was really enjoying this. The sprites are silly and expressive, the atmosphere is goofy overall and the mechanics are creative!

My only gripe in trying to judge it by its deadline release was that I did get softlocked right near the end... :(

Vey fun concept of rotating while moving to aim. Especially liked the artstyle! Overall a solid submission

Submitted

Really fun, great art, lovely chaotic mechanics!

Great job with the artwork and animations. Gameplay was also solid and fun too. I appreciate the time that went into the levels and upgrades which all felt balanced. The film reel intro was a nice touch too, lots of little details added up to make something great here :)

Really fun. The saw gun carried me. Did get soft locked on the 9th level though.

I love this game! The way you move is so unique! And the whole atmosphere is really cool. The only thing I would change is the color of the flamethrower. When I used it, I couldn't easily see where enemy bullets are... But that's just a little complaint, the game is FANTASTIC!

I really liked this one! Reminded me a bit of the old school Newgrounds Games, like Alien Hominid. Mostly because of the >:) 
I loved it. At first, you feel very, very weak.  I really didn't know how to feel about that...but after the first Upgrades it was so worth it. Cathartic, stupid, and just EXACTLY my cup of tea.
I think this is the best Game I've played so far. 

I will definitely come back and play this one again and again!

Great game and theming! It got an actual laugh out loud from me when I saw the tumbleweed in the gallows! The gameplay is tough but feels more than fair, and the customizability makes each run-through feel fresh. Nice job!

Submitted

I found the base mechanic of spinning and shooting to be really fun and interesting to learn. Once the upgrades came it started to feel more spammy than thoughtful. The first wave though was the most mechanically interesting as I figured out how to best aim and avoid getting hit. Overall great job and incredible artwork and music

Submitted

Awesome fun with really neat variety off pickups! I may have triggered a small bug on  when going HAM using lasers and killing an enemy off screen. Likely a stack of coins dropped that I wasn't able to reach and since you graciously allow players to pick up coin before proceeding to the next round it would not allow me to proceed. Overall, all it really did was give me a good excuse to run it back! Well done guys :)

Yep, became aware of that softlock 5 minutes after the deadline 😔


You can play a fixed version here! https://crow-seeds.itch.io/rumbleweed-bugfix-version


Or watch a full gameplay vid with the final boss and other stuff you might have missed

Good old frontier justice! I'm a huge fan of westerns, so this was right up in my alley . Really clever twist on a shoot-em up, when you have to roll around to get your aim. And the more guns you got, less worried about aiming you had to be. The drawing style fits well on a western style.  Well done cowboy! Yeehaw!

Submitted

really liked this, the art was great and being able to place your guns where you want added a lot. good job, nice game

Submitted

I loved every second of this! at first I thought it would be a sort of foddian rage game but the addition of other weapons made it so fun! great work!

Submitted

Very cool very fun. Liked the vibe, and liked creating a dumb powerful tumbleweed.

Submitted

Had fun with this! Everything worked, music and art were great! Well done!

Submitted

this was great fun! music and artwork is spot on, i started to feel the power ramp as i got more guns, i can totally see it getting wild later on.

my only note is that it wasn't obvious to me that i was picking where to place the guns initially!

Submitted

Decor are crazy good. Animations and music are perfect. The fact that you can place the guns where you want is so cool. The movement is hard but fun. Good job!

Submitted

Loved the art style on this one, but my willpower is very low at the moment, so I had to stop playing before breaking something around me
