Very fun to play, but I miss the option to drop a pumpkin and pick it up again so you don't have to walk all the way back to access your weapon again

some music was missing or it didn´t play but overall it was good.
you could make it endless with the number of pumpkins you have to farm increasing every round.
You managed to host it on itch.io, but for me it didn´t work out....

I made it to 10/12 and then the jerk blue ones killed me.

this was a fun. seemed pretty well balanced to be managable while keeping you on your toes. New enemies were introduced at a good rate. Good job :D

Interesting concept. The lack of proper animation and sound effects does negatively effect the game a bit. But I like the artstyle and it was fun to play overall.

Stupid blue varmints! I like the look of the game. And smashing insects with a spade. A music track would be welcome.

Yeah I also wondered about the music since there is an option in the options menu.
Fun and simple game! Well done. I think I found a bug since I couldn't use the spade after a while, and I didn't think that was intended right?
Liked the graphics.

I liked the idea of merging digging and attacking, and the swing animation. Also orange worms are nasty.

Fun game! Had me strategizing over how to best cheat the system. Ended up planting several decoys and gardening the plot closest to the drop off point. What I think you could improve on is the player movement - making the player stop faster in place maybe.
All in all a fun, unique game!

Fun, interesting take on the theme! However, it was missing a few aesthetics like music and animation. Oh well, can't be too picky.

Nice graphics. The farmer should walk faster because those worms just won't give it up! :)

This is an interesting take on the theme. Managing that garden gets really difficult with all those nasty worms.

After a while my farmer walked to the right and didn't stop although i didn't press any button?
I played the web-version

I liked your game, the use of the theme made sense and the game works well. I also like your art. I found that just planting one pumpkin and guarding it was the easiest way to win, maybe the player should be incentivized to use more patches somehow? Overall nice game! (the red worms are bastards to kill!)

I wasn't able to win this, but I think your game is quiet balanced. The graphics look good, and difficulty is increasing in a good way !

Really like the art of this game. Overall is very good, I missed a soft music in the background, but anyway, solid entry!

Lovely game. THe graphics were pretty and the gameplay clear.

Gurbx7 Dec 2017, 13:35

Fun game! Would have been cool with some more animations on the player character, but overall a solid entry! Good job!

This game is very complete with different enemy types and all, though I think it is a bit too slow. Killing the caterpillars is a bit tedious. Speed up player movement and spade hitting. I found the best strategy is to plant one seed at a time, even though this takes patience. Reward growing multiple pumpkins at a time.
