I am bad at dodging, so that the little parsnips (or potatoes?) are way more threatening than other monsters to me. Surprisingly the large parsnip boss was the easiest boss for the low attack frequency and more predictable attack.
Although you tested our first test build, we just uploaded the final game if you want to test it (and it's 1000% better, I promise !)
Enemy designs and way they sign their dashes are well done. Graphics do their job, it has some good atmosphere. In generally I like the idea and would like to see it get re-balanced and polished.
The art and animations are really neat! I was unsure what to do in the first place, but once I figured that the character at the end of the carpet is the one that send you harvesting everything made perfectly sense (I should probably just go back to sleep I guess).

Loved the creepy vibes too
