Gameplay:

Objective: Protect the corn from the pests

Johnny is a crippled farmer who uses a scythe to propel himself and spin towards his enemy pests.

Johnny can only spin if he is mid air. You must launch him first by jumping  then charge his spin. Release the charge at your chosen strength.

• Red = Level 1 charge
• Orange = Level 2 charge
• Yellow = Level 3 charge
• Black = Over charge

Each charge can launch him on varying speed dealing varying damage. Be careful not to over charge your spin or Johnny will just drop down and waste all charges.

Johnny has to deal with infinitely many waves, It will start out slow but will get harder each wave.

Through each wave, Johnny has to deal with two different pests.

• Snail - slow pest that deals 1 dmg to the corn
• Rat - fast pest that deals 3 dmg  to the corn

The corn will die if the health drops down to zero!

Johnny can pick-up different items from the pests.

• EXP - tracks Johnny's progress
• Dookie - has a chance of dropping from rats. Heals the corn by 3 HP

Johnny can lose in 2 scenarios.

• Corn's HP drops to zero
• Johnny gets electrocuted by the farm border

NEVER LEAVE THE CORN BEHIND!!!
