I imagine this is what Ferry Halim's games would turn out like, if Ferry had several drinks with Tim Burton.

Scarecrow is a clean, simple, coffee break game. One simply flicks seeds at scarecrows to get them to wave their arms around at ravens. It's simple, but quite fun and addictive - the way a flash game like this should be.

The game has a very nice visual style. It's bright, but dark. The animations are very crisp and interesting, and the art style itself is eerie and cool. The menus, HP bars, etc. are all nicely integrated into the game environment.

There are two slightly frustrating glitches that detract from the experience a bit. The music will not play, even when you click the 'launch music' button. Secondly, when I played, it didn't seem to want to save or submit my high score.

However, the game has style, and is really quite fun - check it out.

Learning Curve: Takes a second
