A pretty fun game you got going on here! Very humorous writing, and it was pretty enjoyable.

Great game! It actually reminds me of my own entry to this game jam. Restarting the game to get better got really addicting. I love that you can shoot through multiple enemies and explode the grass, it adds some strategy to the combat. 

If you want to expand on this, I would add more enemy types instead of spawning larger quantities of the same enemy. For example, after a while you could start again with a few enemies, but have them move slower, or shoot bullets at you.

You should also add some kind of score system, so that players can better estimate their progress.

Overall, great job!

I really like that I could destroy multiple cactuses with one bullet, I tried to line them up as much as possible :) overall nice game :)

Actually very fun to play, despite the total silliness of the concept (the "they killed my family" made me lol). Music and sounds are nice and I like the look of the main character. Lining up multiple enemies and shooting them all at once felt incredibly satisfying, made me realize too many games have you shoot everything individually (not to mention annoying bullet sponges).

This game was enjoyable, I like the use of the limitation as it made sense here. I do enjoy that you was able to shoot faster and that the enemies would get faster as well. Overall this is good!
