I love how the enemy corpses become terrain, makes it harder if you don't plan ahead!

Had a fun time with this one, cute graphics that really bring out the vegetable violence. The hitbox range felt pretty short at the beginning, making it hard to tell whether I'd be able to hit something without also getting hit. I liked being able to climb the remains of my vanquished foes, that's always nice. Overall really good work!

Like everyone said, climbing the corpses is really cool! And the animations are really good! Well done!

So simple yet so satisfying! Love the way the enemies fall apart and that you can climp on the pile of corpses. Good job!

The cool pixel sprites are the first thing that drew me to this game, but the gameplay is also very satisfying and funny. I love how you end up on a mountain of vegetables. It was really fun, good job team.

Awesome mood, great atmosphere with the music and all!
I died kind of early, with 52 points. :(
Nice work overall, congrats!

Didn't expect to find a beat em up game with that theme but you made it work. Thumpin music and awesome visuals, only criticism would be to have a more generous hit box. Great work.

I died. But I didn't figure out if I can jump or whether the weapons actually work properly. But at least the death is working.

I had a lot of fun going for the high score! The mountain of corpses really caught me by surprise. Cool idea! I recorded myself playing for maximum feedback:

@100th-coin Thanks for the video I'm glad you liked the game. It's interesting you liked the sickle more, I liked the flail the most because of the base damage. You also pointed out some areas that need improving. Thanks for that.

@tero-pulkkinen what went wrong? (I know about a bug with the special attack) more feedback would be appreciated thanks :)

Very cool game. I did feel overwhelm by the enemies, as it took a while for my attacks (especially the special attack to activate) This became extra true when I got the nun-chuck

Well done! Gameplay is fun, though I found the corpses not disappearing a bit annoying :p.

Cool litte game! Using enemy gibs to change landscape is really creative)

Fun! Fitting music! Some good attention to detail here — notably the way the sliced vegetables stack up and change the terrain.

Fun entry. I really liked how you stop on the fallen enemies it provided a great sense of progress and achievement

Really fun game ! The piece of vegetable stacking is a cool idea. The upgrade doesn't feel enough enpowering in my opinion. The design of vegetable is really cool. Had a lot of fun ! Congrats!

Really liked the idea of the terrain building as you killed things, and it opens up options in the future for things like aiming to build the terrain up to collect upgrades or some such! Definitely an idea with a load of potential.

As others have mentioned, hitboxes felt a little tight. A background would really cement the art style.

Beat up enough veggies that I think I need my own tinfoil hat now.
