The infected are on your farm again. Kill them. Their blood makes great fertilizer.
Bloodsoil is a farming game where you harvest blood from zombies and use it to nourish your crops. Hopefully it doesn't get... too out of hand.

I always died quite quick, but that may have just been me being bad at the game.
Also as a note: users on a QWERTZ keyboard have to break off one finger to hit Z to water, so maybe it would be good to add a secondary keybind :sweat_smile:
But then I realized it's zombie blood 😶
Mmmm, nothing matches a zombie blood soaked radish in a morning :smile:
In all seriousness though, very pretty art and juicy gameplay, good job!
The game looks really good and it was a lot of fun. The boss was really well made. It's not often that ld games are fun until the end.
It took me too long to understand the red bar wasn't a life bar. But after that it was a blast.
Good job !
(but please, make it a bit quieter x) )
Cool game with a nice twist on the theme and lovely pixel art!
