I loved this game! The aesthetic, the golden hour lighting, the crow SFX  (which I genuinely didn't realize was a dude making crow noises until I hit the credits at the end--I'd give it a 6/5 for audio if I could because I'm sorry that's hilarious). Very satisfying mechanic and great implementation of the limitation. Great job!

I find this game cool in artstyle, gameplay is addictive and interesting.

Gah honestly an extremely solid entry of this jam!! The theme, the limitation, the gameplay and the msuic are so top tier! I really enjoyed playing this. Very simple and very addicting. Caught 40 crows and felt very very satisfied

Submitted

Simply outstanding. Game is way more engaging than I expected once you get into it.

Cool game, i wish i had a shotgun straped to the scarecrow thou

Almost perfect! I found your game to be dripping with style (I love the aesthetic) and the gameplay loop implements the limitation really well here. I ran into one bug (requiring a restart) where the camera got caught behind the scarecrow's head, obstructing the view, but otherwise it played pretty well. I did find myself wishing for a little more telegraphing or warning before the crows made off with my precious pumpkins, but it didn't stop me going back for another run. Thanks for making and sharing!

This game implemented the limitation so well, I cawght myself yelling, "No, my pumpkins!". The cawcaw sounds are so cute, I could not be all too mad with the crows. I also did get dizzy xD 

Submitted

I caught all the crows! But I did get a bit dizzy

I love the doom-style graphics in this game! Surprisingly, it gave the game atmosphere and volume! The crows making off with a pumpkin caught me off guard the first time, and I thought it was a nice way to implement the limitation! I'd love to see an explorable game in this style

Developer

Thank you!! I'm really glad you liked the style, it was definitely my favorite part of the game and it took a while to make all the assets haha. My plan is to make an explorable game in this style so stay tuned haha 

Submitted

Loved the game! the art style is great. Had a lot of fun playing through this. Great implementation for the limitation as well!

Developer

Thank you very much!!

Submitted

Loved it! Really cozy, fun and nice to look at. I manged to beat the game on my second try losing only one pumpkin. I have to agree with the other commenters that you get dizzy after a while though.

Developer

Thank you!! Ooh nice good job, that's pretty fast to beat it! Yeahhhh I'm gonna try and fix that in the future for sure, thanks for playing! 

Submitted

Smart idea, I really liked the art as well. Only thing i would says is that you do get dizzy after playing for a while. Still great game :)

Developer

Thank you! Haha yeah I'm gonna do my best to see if I can fix that, seems to be a common problem lol

Submitted

Loved the gameplay and art in the game. Wow, some of the crows are really hard to find (which isn't a bad thing, haha). This game is great. Though just a tiny suggestion? I found myself really dizzy after about 5 minutes. Maybe having the option to cap the frame rate would be good. 

I really had fun! Great job!!

Developer

Thank you! Yeah for sure, thanks for the feedback! I didn't realize how dizzying it would be until right at the end so I ran out of time to try and fix it before the submission, but I might try to now. Thanks for playing!

Submitted

Omg the crows are sneaky! Some of them are so well hidden, lol. Absolutely love the visual design though, a very beautiful game and runs very smooth. Very well done! โ˜†

Developer(+1)

I know haha, some of them I thought might be too hard to see but hopefully not lol. Thank you!!

Submitted

Yeah, I couldn't find some of them, but I think I got better at it with time. The one hidden in the corn is so evil XD

Submitted

I really liked the gameplay loop and difficulty curve I got really into the game while I played it ๐Ÿ˜ญ. The limitation and theme fit perfectly in the game too which is great!

Developer

Thank you! Hopefully I didn't make it too hard haha, glad you enjoyed it!
