loved the art style and feel of the attacks, I protected my house for a while but was unsure if there was a way to progress and ultimately ran out of health and died, the music and sound effects are also extremely good, did you make these made during the jam?

Cute, I think I would have liked it more if the speed of the player was increased, and maybe have two attacks a quick one with a small cone and a longer one that covered the area the current attack does.

I really like the graphics and the mood. It's lacking visive feedback: it's not clear when the house is hit and when you hit an enemy. I also catched some potatoes hitting the air, are they supposed to do so. Anyway, the potatoes are super cool!

Animations and sprites are really cool, and so is the music, I jammed to it pretty hard!

The core concept of the game is interesting, but I feel the seed mechanic is a bit clunky as of now. The idea of spawning defenders is neat though.

I guess games like these often come down to how the controls feel, and it's super hard to fine-tune this in such a limited amount of time. Nevertheless, great job guys, I had a lot of fun :)

I like the art style !
I was kinda sad that i could pass behind the house, we had to pass above the roof
Alos, very funny that the witch had a gun with her

I Like the art style, at first I didn't get that you need to hold the button to attack and was a little confused, nice little game

Oh wow hot dang, that music goes hard! I love the adorable art style, and the animations are all nice too! Plus the subtle foot step sound when you move- the details make this game great. I'm not sure if there's a way to "win" other than just survive as long as possible, but I had fun! Great work.

Scythes are cool! Aesthetically strong, and the game loop is fun. Good job!

art and animation is so cute. Took me a little while to understand the instructions but eventually got the hang of it! I might have preferred being able to attack with a quick click even if that meant a respawn time before I could click again as holding down to attack was the part I found confusing. Overall, really well done!

Awesome look. The weapons felt good to use. I like how you plant your defender-potatoes. It's an interesting combination of mechanics, but I found it a bit hard to plant the seeds. It's very easy to miss the dirt.

@100th-coin unfortunately there's no way to win the game, wave difficulty increases exponentially to make sure you can't play for long (balancing is difficult, or maybe i'm terrible at it)

I reached 1050 points.
It's quite hard but it lasted longer than i expected.
The seed mechanic wasn't that clear but i managed to do it by chance (so it worked i guess?)
Art is beautiful, I wasn't expecting a witch to use a scythe!
Overall you did a great job, i think it just needs to be more dynamic. Well done!

Super fun! It took me a minute to get the hang of it, but once I did I was determined to do well

Had to play on itch.io since the version here was not starting, I makes fun and the art style is nice but it was a little distracting that the eyebrows stay on top of the weapon. (obviously just a small detail I noticed^^)

Looks good! The throwing of seeds felt like I was playing an aim trainer or something, that's cool. Graphics and the simple controls also work well. Good job on telegraphing the enemies' attacks. Kudos!

Love the graphics, player controller seems way too inertial and throwing seeds is too tricky. Overall gameplay is fun

My best is 1200

The graphics were top notch and I liked the music/vibe. Like others above mentioned I needed to play the itch version as the one above didn't start for me. Great work!

Love the music and sound effects! The art is stylish and quirky. The image of an elderly witch wielding a shotgun fighting zombie potatoes is absolutely hilarious. Superb work!

The floppiness of the character animations is great, and you did some excellent work with the feel of the attacks and movement. The witch design is so cute and iconic as well. Nice job!

I would have liked a home vfx that takes damage
