The game is simple and cool, the character and monsters work well visually. (although the corn projectile & explosion do not fit the art style). Having a different sprite for the enemy bullet carrots, your own bullet carrots and the ammo carrot would be nice to avoid confusions at the start (even though it's pretty obvious, it does make the game look unpolished). I wish the camera was less zoomed in. It also seems that ammo disappears as soon as it's offscreen, which can be a problem when you think you'll leave it for later or such. If you want the resource management to go this way, it might be better to give a limited lifetime to each ammo, shown by it starting to blink of fade over time.

What a fantastic theme! The art and character animations are delightful, and the idea of sentient vegetables shooting at a bunny is quite absurd. I felt the camera was too zoomed in, with the player character taking up too much of the screen, so I would recommend zooming out so that you have a better view of the map and where enemies are located. The player control was also a little too slow for the speed of the enemy bullets, making it difficult to dodge around. But overall, great work! It certainly put a smile on my face :)

I've reached wave 12 at best.

The game is fun, although it's disturbing at first I really like that the enemies from a wave appear immediately after you killed the last enemy from the last one, the game is more dynamic this way. The overall look of the game is cool and coherent, I don't think you can make a more cool settings than a bunny looking for carrots with a machine gun. I like the food mechanics and the game does get more and more tense as you advance through the waves. The scope of the game is obviously not that big but what's there works pretty well.

Well done, thanks for sharing.

Bunny attack is fun ! I like mecanic of food, it good idea. At the beginning I didn't see effect explosion (maybe vfx are too speed for my eyes), if you add other particle (like blood or other things) damage can be more impacting ! But it's a great work !

Great fit for the theme, love the food aspect, but I think the camera should be out a little further, otherwise splendid
