Fun game with really nice art style!

One of my favorites so far!
I'd only like more variety in sounds (and maybe the music a little louder), but overall it's funny, and I really like the graphics

Was it inspired by the Lovecraft's "Color Out of Space", I wonder? xD

Nice entry we have here! Visuals are pleasant and well working, mechanics are rather simple, but still fun in a classical way. Gonna try it more)

Really like the 'Don't Starve' art style.  Very creative sprite art to fuel the garden army.  Feels like a good start to a game that could be expanded.  Might increase the pace a bit.

I love the art and character design, great atmosphere.

id like to see more weapon choices other then just upgrades to damage and fire rate - weapons that make me play differently and change up my strategy.

cool game, well done.

sorry for the inconvenience. We have tested the game on different browsers and pcs, everything is working fine. Try changing the browser i think

Fruits trying to eat me - I love it :D

Strangely relaxing, sat and played this longer than most. I like the style, you have a lot of the juice components in there, but could be juicier. Although I think considering the game on its own its dialled in the right amount.

Thank you for reviewing our game😇

Even though I’ve found it to be a bit too easy and not very varied, I’ve found it hard to put it down, so you are definitely on to something here. Some more dangerous enemies (or maybe just a lot more enemies) would not go amiss!

One more tiny suggestion if you don’t mind: you could add a bit of variety to the sounds by randomly pitching them up or down slightly every time you play one.

The visual style is awesome and as a Crimsonland fan I approve!

It has a good variation for both equipment and enemy types which is very good for a jam game. But most of the enemy and weapon designs are exactly the same It might be a better game with slightly better gameplay elements. Also blocking the enemy projectile with our own projectile is satisfying to watch :D for sure it was a nice one. 

Also, I have to admit the killing sound effect was a bit annoying :D

Impressive visuals and solid gameplay loop, but could do with some quieter sound effects and a smaller playable area. Otherwise, very solid for 9 days of work.

thanks for your honest review 😇. Yeah we make the level little smaller so that the game should have been in place and give a little more impact on the soul tree . It also helped in maintaining the difficulty level of the game
