Awesome game, I frickin love the animations on the character, I'd guess they took a good day or two. I love how their hat bobs up and down, and how the attack animation has variants for up and down. Speaking of the attack anim, I simply love how it looks, just the sharp and snappy slam into the ground, with the dust effect in the ground, it's just a really good effect. My main criticism towards the game is the varying pixel size, as the player character seems scaled up from everything else. In general, pixel art looks better when every pixel is the same size, and scaling up the player character looked a bit weird. I experienced the same bug as the guy below, as well as a bug that gave me infinite score; the carrots were all gone but the game kept going, allowing me to rack up as much score as I needed.
Overall, the game was tough, but I think that made it more fun, as runs were quick, and constant strategy was required. I quite like the premise, and wish I could play the other maps (which are bugged for me). Great job with your game, it's seriously underrated, but I'm proud to provide the 20th rating =)
