Very unique shooter although it felt a bit awkward to play.

I think you should make the crow hurt enemies whenever it touches them, not just when you shoot it. The crow is already difficult to control and I think that’s what players will be focusing on the majority of their play time. Having to click to shoot once you finally manage to line up gives you such a small window of attack that it makes the game feel too difficult.

The art and presentation is very nice though and I enjoyed the halloween theme

Awesome game! The gameplay is great, cool idea separating the movement of the character from the movement of the weapon. The inclusion of skins and player stats is a very impressive level of polish, especially for a jam game. Excellent music. Well done!

It's really addictive , i love the sound too , great work !

This was a fun little game with great music. I can play it for hours. I really liked the crow mechanics, took some time to get used to it but was pretty ingenious.

Submitted

This game is a lot of fun and very cute.
The crow took some getting used to play but was worth it,
I love the UI, very smooth.
 I like this game a lot.

I liked the theme, it felt unique, and the game had a certain charm to it.

It felt like there was a lot of polish, and it was cool that there were different skins to unlock.

I also really enjoyed the variety of enemy types - I think I may have nightmares tonight about those gnomes...

I think controlling the crow to deal damage was a cool concept, but it felt a bit clunky to me. Maybe it would feel a bit more fluid if you could send your crow to a location and then recall it to your player's position, or something like that.

I enjoyed this one, good stuff!

I would say this is 1/1 greenery/farm themed games, extremely refreshing to see it! Really well polished UI with the transitions & Smoothness. Did not expect to see cosmetics hahah that's awesome that you were able to add cosmetics! (among us inspiration?? 👀) Great variety of enemies too! A very complete game. Satisfying movement but Slightly difficult to control the crow  (or maybe i'm just a noob😅 )

Submitted

The flight trajectory of the crow is very pleasant to watch, and also challenging (in the good way) to control. Very interesting game, well done!

I really liked the cosmetic unlocks that you had for Jacob. I slapped a pizza slice on top of my scarecrow lol.

One thing that I wasn’t sure about while playing is what did the radishes do when they planted themselves in the ground? It seemed like they were harmless and I couldnt hurt them once they planted. I got to a score of 94 so I think I played decently far into the game.

Really loved the aesthetic.

Developer

Glad you liked the cosmetics! The radishes you mentioned are actually Cherry Bombs (we also don't get why cherries would bury themselves hahaha) but they should hurt you when you go close enough to them.

Thanks for playing our game!

Submitted

If you refined the shot mechanic it would definetly a great game

Developer

Thanks for trying it out!

Submitted

cool, love to have more juice lol, the bird took a while to rebound, even if i only boost a little, maybe its and fps related issue, cool game!

Developer

Thanks! Would definitely have added more juice if we had more time haha

Submitted

I like art and how it is integrated into every part of the game. Also fun to have different enemies!

Developer(+1)

Thanks for the feedback! We also had fun designing it haha

Submitted

This was honestly pretty fun - I kept trying more to see what other enemy variants there were. I was a little confused with the mushroom shield the plants had and thought something was broken because the crow kept dodging the wrong direction - but it was being deflected! A sound effect or visual bump would've helped in that regard.

I like your art style, super jealous! Did you make your own music? I like the crow effect you put in there, hah. The theme rocked. Good luck on this entry man, good stuff!

Developer

Thanks for the kind words! Glad to hear we made the enemies interesting enough

A visual bump would definitely help in communicating the bounce, thanks for the suggestion! And yes we made our own music.

Submitted

I like the unique crow mechanic! The art and sound effects are cute. You could add some music variations

Developer

Thanks for trying our game! We would have certainly added more music if there were more time.
