Pretty nice!
The input is a bit unresponsive, and what bothers me is the inability to move and shoot in different directions. Consider a Binding of Isaac type control scheme?

Also, bunnies drop spears :P

I got 14 220 on medium! Very fun idea, the graphics are amazing, very very good for 48 hours, you even had different sprites for facing up, down, etc. Arrows were easy to abuse as there was no limit on how many there could be on screen, so I'd mash the spacebar with both hands to make a machine gun lol.

On medium difficulty it's kinda hard to run away from bunnies AND turn arround to shoot at them.

Music is weird, but at least the game has music.

The grass tiles could have a minimal amount of detail instead of being 100% of the same color to help player notices spatial displacement.

Challenging game! I was able to beat it on easy, but anything above that is pretty challenging. I was playing on hard and the horrifying black sphere with eyes scared me half to death. The music was a little hard to listen to over time, but pretty good for being done in 48 hours. Nice game.

It was easy to get into this game! The graphics are really well-done, and the music and the sounds are fitting, good job! Nice, simple mechanics! I found it hard to survive for long even in the simple level. The spear is very frustrating to use, because its range is so short.

The about screen mentions the theme was "Ancient weapon" - nope, it wasn't ;-)

This game is quite fun! It's also very hard, but that's not a big problem.

The music is very good, as well as the graphics. Even though both are quite simple, they are well done, and the music does add the atmosphere of a frantic game.

Overall, this is a very good game!

I like it. The music is very good despite being a little bit sparse (although that may have been the intention.) The menus are executed beautifully as well, so great work on that. The tree tiles are also great.

I also had a little bit of trouble with the controls. The weapons should have more spread if you want to have only 4 direction movement. It got a little bit frustrating at times, especially with the spearmen. The weapons could also have used a little buff in my opinion.

A sound/warning for losing supplies would also add a lot. The first time I lost I didn't even notice I was losing supplies.

Great work overall, especially on music and graphics.
