You are peacefully planting squash on your field when the neighors decide to invade and plant corn instead.  Each level you get 64 seconds to defend 64 squares from your enemy.  Can you make it to the end? 

Additional theme integrity bits:
1. The characters are 64 years old (that's why gray hair)
2. The game is 64px by 64px
3. Matt recommends 64gb of RAM to play this game with
4. The clouds in the main menu.  They have "64x64" written on them in gray.

Written for the Pygame Community Fall Jam 2024 by JiffyRob and Matiiss

Bonus points to anyone who can find all of the hidden easter eggs in the main menu art.

I like it. Only at the beginning with the arrows, I think you get stuck for a bit too long, where you can not do anything. Maybe make this waiting time shorter?

The game idea is pretty good

Just need to continue from the last level failed.  Too much work to get back to that level again.  But this development is very good and I think it is probably the best submission this game jam.

Wow! That's a compliment and a half - thanks. I think it may have been a smart idea to make a checkpoint every few levels, I think one checkpoint for every level is a bit much considering the level count here.
