How does your game fit the theme?
Unlike the majority of games where YOU control the Hero, in Freedom Fodder, you take control of one of the ordinary minions that the Hero usually slays en masse. You are not strong, fast, or equipped with extra weapons, but there are many of you.

Looks quite nice. Could be more satisfying to play though.
It's pretty standard affair with shooting simple projectiles at a target. It's pretty unclear which thing you're actually controlling at any given moment. And the enemy AI is really OP and will just aimbot you constantly so it's more a battle of attrition and there's nothing to do outside of move and shoot.
Decently made but not that interesting or creative.

Nice work on the models and animations!

I only managed to beat the hero by the final wave, good work on the AI since the hero really has a pinpoint accuracy that I can't seem to evade no matter what aside from dashing, really enjoyable and a solid fun game overall!

Neat concept! I like the idea of tracking my own waves and trying to get through the "hero"'s respawns. The variety of minions to use was really neat too.

The controls were a bit rough though which made the game a lot harder. It would have felt a bit better if wasd moved in consistent directions, such as w moving up, s down, etc rather than basing it on the mouse cursor. Otherwise, solid game and enjoyed it!

I really liked the unique aesthetic of a rodeo-style tank game! The controls could be made a bit easier to use, but the game is pretty fun and has potential for a post-jam version. Good job!
