This game looks really nice! the graphics are really well done, though that pixel shader could've toned down a bit in my opinion. This game has a bizarre difficulty curve. Learning what to do took me a long time, this game is a game that certainly needs a tutorial. It was quite difficult to find out how to play the game, and even after that, it felt a bit unfair, as the enemies felt too punishing. Overall, this game looks nice and is quite unique, but the gameplay leaves something to be desired. Still, Nice Work!

- Neat idea but with no in game information on how to play people aren't going to get anywhere. No where near enough time provided to prepare before ghosts arrive even when you do know what you are doing. Cool idea but need to tone the challenge down, lower default volume, and get in game instructions in.

This is very specific, but I'm proud of the explosion effects. They turned out better than I could have hoped.

Thank you! Basically, the crops are ammo. The beans are for the rifle, the orange lilies for the rocket launcher and the red blossoms provide health regen. That's what ties farming into combat, you have to plant crops to keep you going.
