Looks good, I wanna play it a little more before rating it.

Just a heads up before I do: movement speed seems to randomly change and, after attacking, I have to release the movement key then press it again... it's kind of annoying...

You can walk a lot faster on the roads.
In the Help menu are some more hints about the gameplay.

Fun game, simple. It works well. But I find the controls to be lackluster, having to stop and turn around to face your enemies, and no vertical attacking, the collision is kinda glitchy. But in general it is a fairly fun game.

Really very fun :) I hope the development continues. I especially like the fluid and cartoony animations. (Especially the duck!)

The only criticism I would have is, once a zombie gets too close to you it's very hard to kill them with your fork.

Cool game, kind of addictive. Does the K眉rbisroboter actually do anything? Can you give him commands or something? I didn't quite figure out what he's there for.
And I needed to select the lowest difficulty setting to win the game, because I just never got enough pumpkins due to the rare occurence of seeds. Maybe I did something wrong, I guess. Also, what are the potatoes for? And can you spend the money on anything other than new plantations?
More questions than feedback, sorry about that. :>

Hey ShellfishGames,
here are some answers:
1) We had some really cool plans for the little robot, but in the end there were just not enough hours and we had to cut all of it. :/
2) You can can farm for pumpkin seeds by harvesting the fields while the pumpkins are still tiny.
3) You can trade the potatoes with the farmer in the east. Just stand close to him and hit space. For 5 potatoes he sells you a better hoe. If you already own the steel hoe then he will just pay you money per potato.
4) The money is only used for buying new fields.

No worries about the questions, if you got more feel free to ask here or check out the in-game help menu. :)

Hahaha. Pumpkin zombies? Hilarious stuff. Pretty cool idea and I'd like to see this expanded on more, but I don't really like the one life gimmick. I understand it though due to the theme.

It was fun for the first few minutes. The control feels a bit awkward.

Ahaha, I quite liked this game, enjoyed playing very much. Zombie Pumpkins and Potato Farmer and what not, had too much fun! And it was great, getting to choose the difficulty level.
On the downside, the controls and movement needed to be more solid, the button presses(aside from movement) only worked when the button was released. And the Kurebisroboter did nothing, though his voice was cool xD

Nice Idea and I really love the animations, especially on the duck. So Sweet! :D
The controls did not seem to work for me all the times instantanously, which is some kind of annoying when you try to kill the Zombies.

I've loved playing this! Good job and the farmer walking animation is hypnotizing, really good! It's hard to play and has some glitches but it's really fun!


If you have time please consider rating my game! I would really appreciate it! :DD

Alle Macht dem K眉rbisroboter! Funny little game. The hoe seems to be a bit overpowered and therefore makes the gun (sadly) useless. The dying animation of the pumpkin zombies is awesome. You should also fix the collision with the trees, it seems to be buggy if you collide with them and sometimes, enemies get stuck in them too. And I made a farming game, too!
