Excellent job with the game! The art was amazing and the wobbly movement was awesome. but at times the birds would spawn outside the map and I would not see them. Maybe its just me, but great job with the game overall!

pretty nice game I especially like the art and music

the cow should chase the crow away too

Developer

Thats a very good idea and easy to implement. Thank you for the feedback!

This is an awesome take on the theme, and restriction! I love that you put markers indicating where the obstacles are going to come from it makes it a lot more fair! I got a score of 6400 on my second time through which I am pretty happy with! I would suggest making the music a bit less repetitive, but it honestly isn't that bad. Awesome job overall!

It's simple but really addicting. The different variations of enemies are also interesting. Great job!

So, GREAT JOB!

The only thing i miss was some flapping of wings!

I managed to get 7400! I got stuck between 3 rows of cow and just couldn't get to a crow on time.  It's a lot of fun and love the scarecrow art and the overall color palette! Awesome job!

Submitted(+1)

Great art, music was nice too - gameplay was solid, lost a life a few times for seemingly no reason (probably user error)

Developer

You lose a life if the crows get away with your crops so possibly that was it. The indicator isn't the best on that. Appreciate you taking the time to play!

Love the color pallete and art style of this game! The music was really cute. Simple concept but very well executed.

Submitted(+1)

Really nice style! Also pretty cool twist on an old classic.

Appreciate it! Thanks for taking the time to play it. Also glad that you noticed the inspiration

Submitted(+1)

Very cool atmosphere and art style! Once more and more birds gathered and a fast one came swooping in, it became very fun. I enjoyed the music of Scarecrow as well. Can't wait for the Halloween Update! At times the player felt a bit too slow, I think a dash might make a great additon. Other than that: perfect!

Developer

Would love to do a Halloween twist! Agreed, I think if I redid it I would have a dash and tweak the movement speed to be a little faster. Thanks for taking your time to play! 

Submitted(+1)

Oh my god I love the art style. The scarecrow is adorable. A very simple gameplay loop, but a fun one! Well done, well done indeed. 

Developer

Aw thank you! I rarely do pixel art so that means a lot to me. Thanks for taking the time I appreciate it

Great visuals, sounds and gameplay! Rated well. My initial thoughts were that I wanted the movement to be faster because it  felt tedious to wait for him to cross the whole screen, BUT after I seen obstacles come into play, I thought that if the player moved faster it would be hard to manuever well around them. Overall liked the concept and execution!

Developer(+1)

Agreed, I could've possibly gone for a faster movement and made the obstacle clearance less narrow. Appreciate the feedback.
