Good game, but it sits 100% of the way from its all-time low to full price. It drops harder in seasonal sales. Patience pays.

About this game
What this game is, in the developer's words
In this 2D top-down action adventure, control John W. Beans and uncover the reptilian conspiracy. Sharpen your angle to hit your target. Use a revolver loaded with pea cans and other peculiar weapons. Ride down a river, explore arid landscapes, underground bases, and discover some secrets.
John W. Beans is a top-down action game, sprinkled with adventure, exploration, and secrets, that will test your mastery and precision with analog sticks.
SHOOT THEM
Be precise with your angle to line up the enemy within the FOS (Field of Shot), represented by two lines marking the shooting area. Hold the shoot button to make John automatically aim if the enemy is within that area, and release it to fire a canned pea with pinpoint accuracy. While you can disable the FOS lines for an added challenge, the shooting area will still exist, and John will keep auto-aiming if the enemy is inside it. But if you really want to show off your skills, try taking down enemies without relying on the FOS — doing it manually is far more satisfying.
DODGE OBSTACLES
These guys, the reptilians, will stop at nothing to take down John. Besides dodging projectiles, you’ll also have to avoid obstacles.
EXPLORE
Try all the paths, you never know what's at the end, and you might discover valuable items or secrets.
HISTORY OF JOHN W. BEANS
John W. Beans is a humble farmer striving to fulfill the dream his parents couldn’t achieve in their lifetime. He has discovered an incredibly cheap method of producing canned corn, and his goal is to bring it to those who need it most. But just when everything starts going well, one night, while he sleeps, a strange ship lands in his fields. When he wakes up, he realizes someone is destroying his crops and ruining his dream. Without a second thought, Beans heads to the site and discovers the culprits: strange and powerful reptilian beings.
While investigating his bean field, he makes a crucial discovery: these creatures are vulnerable to them! Wasting no time, John rushes back home for his hat, because now he’ll need your help to grab his revolver and some explosives. Together, you’ll face the reptilians and uncover the hidden truth behind this invasion.
As you may have noticed, you won't be alone on this adventure: you'll have explosives, an item to improve your aim, and three peculiar weapons that will add variety to your arsenal.
Need even more power? John's fists are also ready to go into action when things get tough.
Worried about your safety? Don't fear, you can also use an old metal funnel that, against all odds, works as an improvised shield. Fashion and protection have never been so united!
And remember: if your hat gets knocked off, you'd better be quick to put it back on... or you'll be doomed.
