Very fun take on the theme, splitting it up into the killing and the harvesting. Felt very good to control, I always felt that I was in control and it was my fault when I lost health. I liked the 8 bit pixel art style, I think that worked well here. All the animations were fluid and I especially liked the sound effects, the one for scared villagers was the best, great job on that! Very well done!
The music is great, but i wish the loop was a little bit longer to bring more diversity. Nice entry anyways

I died on the way back on my first try, I wasn't used to the rigid gameplay (but it's ok as it's what give this game it's retro feel)
Well done !
You managed to put quite a few different and interesting enemy behaviours in there and even though I had wished for a tiny bit more range on the attacks, I really enjoyed this one.
