Corny Johnny
A Wild West bullet-heaven roguelite. You're a corn cob cowboy versus a horde of GMO veggie mutants. Your guns auto-fire, so dodge, draw level-up cards, and stack weapons to outlast 20 waves and four bosses. Die, upgrade, run it back. Yeehaw.

Saddle up, partner. The harvest is fighting back.
Corny Johnny is a top-down bullet-heaven survivor set in a Wild West gone horribly agricultural. You're the Corn Cob Cowboy — the last shuck standing against a relentless horde of GMO veggie mutants. Your guns fire themselves; your job is to keep moving, dodge the swarm, and assemble a build nasty enough to outlast 20 escalating waves.
Every run drops you into the arena with one weapon and a dream. Mow down broccoli bits, shroomlings, and gatling grapes to bank XP and gold, then cash in between waves: draw Harvest level-up cards to power up on the fly and raid the shop to stack weapons and modifiers. Reach waves 5, 10, 15, and 20 and you'll square off against four oversized boss vegetables — culminating in the dreaded GMO Prime. Get husked, and you'll spend your hard-earned Gold Bars on permanent upgrades that make the next cob a little tougher to shuck.
Key Features
10 playable cobs — from OG Johnny to Don Cornleone, Kernel Sanders, and RoboCob, each with a unique starting weapons and passive.
An auto-firing arsenal — 12 weapons that lock onto the nearest threat, from trusty revolvers to sawed-off shotguns. Positioning is your real weapon.
A fresh build every run— Harvest level-ups and a between-wave shop let you brew a different broken combo each time.
Permanent progression — bank Gold Bars to unlock lasting upgrades like Hearty Kernels, Spicy Fertilizer, and Golden Harvest.
Battle companions — deploy drones and ground rovers that burn, zap, and glue the horde while you reposition.
Four boss showdowns — as the difficulty climbs from Setup to Squeeze to all-out Chaos.
Hand-drawn Western style — a thick-outline doodle frontier with its own original soundtrack.
Quick, replayable runs— easy to learn, endlessly re-harvestable.
There's a new sheriff in the cornfield. Time to find out how long you can survive the harvest.
