Based on the theme of "Harvest", you must harvest your melons before they become overripe and turn on you! If that happens, only your trusty shotgun will be enough to save you!
WASD to move.
E to pick up and put down the shotgun. The shotgun can only be put down in its proper place.
Are you trying to tell me I can't harvest melons with shotgun?! Hilarious game, love the change of music when the evil melon attacks me. Fun little game.
This game really shows how important music is, it's crazy how much of an impact it has on the mood when one of those suckers comes to life. Did you make the music and art? I really liked it!
High score 60 on my second go, after downing two of those melon-cacti. Absolutely hilarious and indeed the music especially makes it.
I appreciated the detail in how you have a designated spot to put the shotgun down again. That adds to the challenge, since you can't harvest melons immediately after shooting a melon-cactus down.
I like games like touhou ! Dodging is really funny. Maybe had more paterns so it won't be easier to dodge Also the melon was long to kill - even when i was spamming it
the monster has a lot of health! really like the balancing aspect of going back and forth between fighting and harvesting. i also like the little touch that picking up watermelons plays notes in the key of the song (really nice audio design)
I've found a creative way to kill the watermelon: My girlfriend manages the mouse while i'm focusing on dodging with the arrow keys. It's almost a shame they don't give points! I enjoyed going back to your game as I was showing my favorites games to her :D
Good musical tone change, responsive controls. The background texture is a little strangely busy compared to the game sprites. No progression mechanic was a little disappointing. Boy you have to work fast to prevent those melons from getting uppity! Maybe they should flash a couple times before rebelling.
The change in atmosphere when the melon gets up is great! And then after you kill it going back to harvest more melons with a smile on your face is very funny. I felt like I got to a place where I could play indefinitely, and found myself wishing that the game had a bit more progression. Maybe the melon boss could get strong each time or send out more challenging bullet patterns? I still enjoyed playing though and getting a good melon harvest!
this was fun to play! i like the change of gameplay induced by your mechanics.
the monster is a bit long to kill, and in my opinion it's quite hard to see at the same time where to shoot and where to move.
i LOVED the audio during the harvesting mode, the sound when you catch a melon goes so well with the music, really everytime i killed a monster, i was so happy to hear that tune back!

Very cool unexpected avoidance game mechanic, I enjoyed it.
