The HTML isn't loading for me. The loading bar gets 90% through, then I see the following error in the console:

Uncaught (in promise) Invalid binary data file size! (offset=376, size=20152104, file length=16658439)

Do you have an itch.io or other link for a web build?

I was able to play in HTML. Hilarious, well done. Cows are great. Only real bug I encountered was that my mouse kept pulling to the right. Could be an issue on my end though

The HTML was working again! That was really good. "If I see you around these parts again... I'll take you out for lunch". I was one square away before I got stabbed like a pig

This idea made me lmao. It's a very funny idea! When actually playing it, I felt that most of my attention was focused on the left bottom corner where the real-time comparison of the field shape was displayed. Once a human appeared, I was startled, even more terrifying than any horror game! Humans are so terrifying. I want to go back to Mars!

Really great graphics, fun gameplay. The opening cut-scene and death scene are hilarious. Found it a bit hard to raise the corn again, but aside from that it all worked very well.
