Game story After theme was announced it took me almost 8h to think of some original ideas. I didn't want to make something with literally "connected worlds" (I knew there will be a lot of such games), so I came up with this idea, which shaped and changed in the process of developing it. In this game you'll see 2 "worlds" together - casual people living their lives and war, which happens just around them - you'll find a lot of such examples in real world. So - I made "hitting 2 birds with 1 rock" - you have to pick out bugs from your potatoes, which is pretty casual thing to do, and use them to destroy occupying forces with them, which is war :D
Art: Main character, first soldiers and obstacles were made in very beginning as placeholders. I was planning to redo them later, but as I ran out of time I decided, that they're looking good enough and just continued to draw everything else in the same style... so, art took me pretty small amount of time, as it's really simple... and I like it :D
Programming: Well... that was pretty tough... I had only about 1 month of experience in HTML5 engines and I encountered a lot of problems (mostly - something just didn't work), and couple of times I had to redo everything from scratch (on the 2nd day I even thought that I won't make it on time)... surprisingly, I somehow did :D
Updates: ________________
v2: *Fixed missing sounds; *Dealt with memory leak *Adjusted gameplay difficulty (a bit easier now) *Fixed spawning in obstacles, which resulted in stucked movement *Fixed flickering transition screens *Did a bit of optimization on audio weight *Fixed enemy shooting after they're ded *There were some game elements, which stayed on screen after game restarting... fixed it :)
So this is about a granny who loads her shotgun with living bugs while jumping around and shooting soldiers who are stealing vegetables? This game is so what the f* xD Anyway, the gameplay is pretty rigid but good laughter here.
Really like the artwork, story, and music choice. The platforming action is a little slow, but it wasn't too bad. Those bosses are pretty hard. I never made it past the second chapter.
I realy like this game, graphics are nice, sound effect when you hit someone with a gun is funny :D After you almost finished a lvl, you have to fight with "raid boss", nice.
I found the game a little hard, but it is nice to play. I liked the story and the politic situation it criticizes. The music puts everything in a country-funny style. The artwork is good. Good job on the random generated obstacles. PS: There are some unreachable bugs at times.

I'll say it again, interesting game.
Humor is definitely this game's strong point.
Bosses have been hard, but I finally managed to beat it.
But hey! A great showing for a Ludum Dare. Great music and animations, even if taking the theme a bit loosely.
