Helloo, how can I earn watter to create new plants??

Ah, I see you made a game for the TRUE theme. And you can't go wrong with tower defense. However, I did experience some issues. The drag and drop is a little buggy. At one point I placed a tower in an invalid location on accident and it disintegrated instantly and still took my money. Also, I don't really see the point in the yellow plant (corn?). As far as I can tell it just shoots slower and costs more. It's also really easy. I've been leaving it on for a few minutes and still haven't gotten close to dying. You do have a strong foundation, though, congrats on finishing.

Cool game man! :D Graphics were pretty cute, was pretty fun! Discovered one weird bug were the flowers sometimes didn't spawn properly. Not a dealbreaker tho!

I really like the idea of flowers as tower defense towers, gives it a vibe of creating a garden while defending the base.

Good job applying the theme to the tower defense genre. It seems like I could win pretty easily with a single flower, and I would have like to have some audio. Good attempt! 48 hours is not a lot of time :)

Unfortunately I only had 1 day to make the game, so it's a bit (very) rough.. you earn water by simply playing the game. This is the first game I've ever fully completed so it's generally pretty low quality. Thanks for the feedback, and I'm glad you were able to play it :)

A pretty nifty idea! I wished for a couple more flower types, even if they worked the same, just for making a prettier garden :)

I found two bugs:

- if you drop a flower in the bottom brown UI area (where you see the flower selection and the various bars), the flower is spawned under it. It should not spawn and the water cost not spent.

- if you drop a flower too close to another one, it will not be spawned, but the water cost will be spent anyway.

Nice art style, the game could do with being a little bit harder. One bug I found if i dragged a tower onto a place where it couldn't be built, it still took my "money" but didn't place the tower. Good job though!

Haha, yes yes, I know the balancing was quite... iffy to say the least! Thanks for all the feedback! I definitely thought I fixed the tower placing bug with the Ui elements.. clearly I didn't though :sweat_smile:

nice little game, its working great! if you misplace a flower you lose water though and you are able to place flowers behind the UI, but otherwise okay :D

I like your take on the theme, and the particle effects looked great. Placing the yellow towers was using the mouse change instead of mouse position. Beyond that I wish there was more enemy progression to balance. Keep up the Good Work!

Thanks for the feedback! @sacredbacon, I can't believe I didn't think about using the mouse position instead... looking back that would've made the game come out a lot cleaner!

fun game few bugs but it's good! made it to wave 103.

A fun little tower defense game. The flowers look awesome. It would be nice to have a couple more flowers. I do agree with others that the difficulty could be increased. The graphics and particle effects were great as well. Good job!

Simple tower defense game. Aesthetic sprites, and fits the theme perfectly. Balancing needs some work, but overall good game :).

I think playing a tower defense with plants is awesome. It really reminded me of BTD+PVZ which are both good games, but combining the two was nice to see. The graphics are great and the gameplay is awesome! Nice work!
