Loved the SFX, took me a second to understand what to do (tutorial would be nice) but I looked at the page then I understood. Good first entry!!

Interesting idea for a game. Would be good to have a mini tutorial in game prior to starting.

Interesting idea - liked the effect of the tumbleweeds gathering. Didn't see any undead.

That is an original and really creative Idea. Definitly followed the theme Unlkely Allies! Very well done really cool.

I went in without reading the description so I initially just ran away from the tumbleweeds lol. Made a little more sense once I read your description, but still felt a little clunky. A couple things that could help improve your next jam game!

1. If no time for a tutorial, leave the controls in one of the corners of the screen! (I did this for my entry, you can check it out here https://itch.io/jam/synty-jam-march-2024/rate/2585069 )

2. For sounds that will happen a lot, use an array so that they randomise each time and feel less repetitive!

Totally an awesome first game jam entry, there's originality and the idea could become something really great. It'll be interesting to see what you can do with some UI too. 

Good job getting into a game jam!

The idea is interesting but I couldn't do anything in the game other than run from one side to the other. lol

Good Job!

It's an interesting idea, I would definitely play more once the game is more finished.
