I agree with the other comment that a little more feedback from the veggies being shot would help. I didn't notice that they made a flinching face until a few waves in. (A super nice touch! But hard to see when there's so many on screen.) Not sure whether it was intentional, but if my cursor got too close to the main character, I'd suddenly have two guns.
Also, I want to specifically thank you for having a volume control. I like to balance my computer audio at a lower level, and this makes it a lot easier. I just wanted to mention that since it's something I rarely see on jam games!
Very fun game! Went to play longer than expected ahahah
The art is cute and the sound effects fits very well! Too bad the BGM doesn't loop.
Very interesting take on the theme!
Overall a pretty fun mob shooter. Feels classic and arcady. Others have mentioned it, but gotta give props for the art, very cute and well put together other than a couple of seems, but they weren't too noticeable.
Would love some progression mechanics or maybe add a bit of stress by making me defend the house? Just some thoughts on possible additions.
The music was nice, but the sound-level was a bit too high for me at the start, but that's just my little gripe.
Nice work!
I like that you made it so we can hold the mouse button down. That makes it really easy on the finger.
Absolutely some skill involved.
Nice job! :D
Damn' vegetables!
Cute art style, I had a nice time trying this game. I think Harvest make a fun setting for this kind of game and I can see how far this can go with a funny tone! I ran into a visual issue when the mouse is too close to the main character: the gun switch between two different direction making the visual jumping from each of them pretty quickly. Cool game anyway :)
love the art and sound!
Also love the detail of little mice waiting in the house while I protect them from mean vegetables. 😄
I found a sweet spot at the top to easily win a lot of points !

At wave 23 and 33410 points I assume the waves are procedural increasing :joy_cat:
I love vegetables as enemies, reminding me of banjo in the good old 64 days - nice game with nice art!
Those were the cutest hecckin veggies I ever did see. Well done on the graphics, it's fantastic. That's about it though, a lot of people kind of put "shoot veggies" as "harvest" but harvest is really more about collecting (or cutting and collecting). So I can't really rate too high on theme. Maybe if you guys had a sickle instead and have a harvest goal instead of a wave survival.
I did play for a while still. :3
I don't think I got very far, those eggplants were just too strong for me! Super cute game! Really loved the faces the veggies made when you shot them and that they had slightly different behaviors/tunings. It's important to protect your mouse family after all.
