So many neat little details throughout the game, like how you can't heal yourself when burrowed, the chicken life-stealing by eating worms, big joe's butt scratch and the final boss, an actual harvester! You've gone lengths to ensure that everything from the enemies to their abilities match the theme, and made great sprites and animations to match. Also, extra points for great execution and explanation through symbols. I didn't have to read up on anything, and creating synergies with passives was a blast. I'm sure you must have *field* experience, in one way or another.

Feedback coming from someone who is not used to the genre is definitely something to take into consideration!\n\nThe arrows show the next target of that character. So for instance, in the second battle, the chicken has one action against your team (it will always target Harrot, since it's your only hero at that point). Then its second action is to feed on one of the worms. In this case the arrow will point at one of the worms, at random.\n\nNote that enemies always do their actions from left to right, then loop back to the first one, and so on. Knowing that, you can know what they'll be doing next, and shield\/heal your heroes accordingly.\n\nRegarding the music, it's not a problem of your browser - there's simply no sound in the game :(\n\nI will add the first point as a new tip!

It gives you the real value, and then the detail of how this value is calculated.

Green means the character itself, blue means an ally of the character and red means an enemy. The arrows show which one of these can be targeted. In case there's only one possible target, you will have to \"confirm\" instead of selecting the target.\n - Your opponents always play their actions left to right, then loop back to the first one, and so on. A small white arrow shows the upcoming action. The black arrow shows you which character(s) will be targeted by the upcoming action. Note that the target(s) is\/are selected at the beginning of your turn, and won't be updated, even if the target is not a valid candidate anymore.
