Ayy I'm really late to the party, but nice job!
Dodging the enemies can get fairly easy, but it's also very easy to take a bullet too.
It's quite ominous how the farmer is waiting to fill the last grave >.>
Cool aesthetic, and quite the story
Wish I had gotten around to playing this one back when ratings were open, ripperoni.
Thank you for making this game and sharing the story that was passed on to your family! The art and game design are great, and the story is even more powerful as we've recently observed Memorial Day and D Day in the past couple weeks. Great job!
Very good game! That was fun to play and strategic. I didn't hear any sound, but I definitely look forward to playing more games from you.
Dang, stories like that are intense, man. Your game is an effective tribute, I really like how you have allies by your side who fall before you do, leaving you as the last one while the farmer respectfully collects and buries the bodies.
Very nicely done.
Very poignant. Thanks for sharing this story while displaying your art.
great art and music. the colors were very nicely implemented.
Congrats on your submission. The art is nice to look at, and the control scheme works well. I found it pretty hard to progress, as I would die almost immediately - maybe that is the point? For some reason, the sound and music didn't work for me. You did a good job on your game and should be proud of your work!
Theme is represented really well. Also I admire how all the art is made by yourself, instead of using readymade assets. Sound and music is well fit. But aiming in this game is quite difficult and not comfortable
Thanks for the feedback.
It's the first time I've made a game where you can shoot. I tried to keep it simple so that you shoot which ever way the sprite is facing based on the "gun". If the gun is facing left, the bullet spawns and moves from the left, if the gun is facing right, the bullet spawns and moves right.
If I update the game, I will try to look at improving this mechanic.
Very nice aesthetics, color palette and theme implementation. Surprisingly I haven't seen many historic or army related games so far. Good job on the submission!
I really enjoyed playing your game and I thought you did very well with the theme. I really appreciate the narrative you provided explaining the real-world event you based your game on. One suggestion I would give is to maybe give the enemies an AI to more effectively target the player when you're the last one standing rather than randomly appearing and firing, potentially at nothing.
congrats on completeing your first game, really like the take on th etheme too!
Congratulations on completing your first game! A fresh and different take on the theme, and appropriately timed too. I love the sense of camaraderie from having the allies fighting alongside you, and the tactical shooting mechanics. Would love to see it taken further with more consistent graphics to match the tone of the story... :)
I saw your comments on several games so I was curious as to what you made. I really like this! It was fun to play, particularly the aspect of fighting with allies. Er, I'm not so sure about the font and colour of the title screen though.

I enjoyed this as the story was a good theme and the simplicity made it fun
Well done
