I played the web version but still thought the graphics were good! Some fun models that overall fit well together.

Good game! \n And the cute graphics reminds me of my Nokia 5230 LOL. \n The hp disappears too fast to penta kill for the a recover time after attack which is a reaally NICE DESIGN!\n\nI got trouble finding the generated enemies and melons. I think at least one of the two should be less random. \n\nSince watermelons are to be harvested, it might be better to have an about 5-second growing time after the watermelons can be found before they can be eaten.","format":"md","likes":2,"spam":"N"},{"id":898019,"author_name":"LDJam user 280509","author_uid":"280509","epoch":1673232092,"text":"@dev-314 I think it's not due to your computer since mathmatically it WILL happen when things are too random - they might easily be generated all togwther in some far corner if they were just RNG.","format":"md","likes":1,"spam":"N"},{"id":906852,"author_name":"LookLeftStudio","author_uid":"lookleftstudio","epoch":1673360797,"text":"I really enjoyed the graphics. The grass is nice, and the effects of the falling leaves is really cool. I also really like how knocking over the scarecrows is a risk because it stops moving you for a second. It's a fun slightly addictive game that makes you want to play again for a better high score.

Dodging the shots is basically just up to luck and sometimes the watermelons just can't be found in time. Died several times without finding a single melon.\n\nKicking the scarecrows felt weirdly random too. Sometimes they just got their shot off without any warning so I guess the tactic is to only go for them right after they've shot. And you weirdly get stuck there for a while too which makes you vulnerable another scarecrow attacking you while doing so. But you lose too much time doing so as you pretty much constantly need to be on the prowl for the watermelons.\n\nSeeing the shots is pretty difficult and I'm not even red\/green colorblind. And the shots move so fast that it's really difficult to dodge them on reaction. Their hitboxes seem too big too and it makes very difficult to estimate how much you'll need to dodge. And the fact that they shoot even from off screen and sometimes in random directions doesn't really make it any fairer.\n\nAlso a quite weird design choice to have the player position etc not reset on retries. Sometimes you can just already have an arrow coming right at you when you start.\n\nAnyways, good job! \ud83d\udc4d\n\nSome more tries later, needed to beat that minute marker at least...\n\n![Screenshot 2023-01-10 at 16.34.37.png](\/\/\/raw\/1e4\/3\/z\/55e75.png)","format":"md","likes":2,"spam":"N"},{"id":919432,"author_name":"kr0k","author_uid":"kr0k","epoch":1673640937,"text":"Good result for the compo duration.
