Cool game!
Excellent entry! Really loved the art style and the gameplay was really smooth.
Really good, the only thing is that I dont really understand what Im doing that for. I get money ok but then? What is the money for, also you cant really loose its a bit too easy.
The first thing that stood out to me with this game was the art, it looks gorgeous! The gameplay was fun and I love the fact that the plants turn into zombies when you fail to water them, a really cool mechanic. Overall a very nice (but stressfull :wink: ) game
Just a really well designed game, The art is so good, it fits this game so well. If I had to change one thing I would have made it a little bit more difficult (maybe less Health drops would be a quick fix?), but I know for a fact that balancing a game in such a short span of time is a complicated and time consuming task. Overall a really nice entry, these guys know their business. 10/10
Btw, the wheel rotation... Damn, such a good detail.
Entertaining, controls well, water usage/watering feels decently balanced.
Would love to see a use for the money.
Easily one of the best entries I've played so far. I gave you 5 stars in everything! I really love everything about this! I think my favorite are the enemies that look like evil corns! Awesome game great job! :smile_cat:
This is an amazing game! I love the art and music plus the whole mechanic was super fun. The game was a bit easy with the plant being able to so easily be shot down but apart from that this game was amazing. Five stars for all of them!
I really like the potential this kind of game can have. I noticed more and more details as I played it, like how the water tank in the robot correlates to how much water it actually has, that plants seem to bloom quicker when their meter is kept more full. It does look superb too. The gameplay can run dull quickly, even though it is constantly active. I find the optimal strategy to be to stick next to the water tank and blast one or two plants to keep them alive, and knock out any zombies in two hits. As efficient the the right clicking sprinkler move is for water, it does not beat not running out of water.
I can see this being a lot more engaging with some additions. I had one of the corns actually jump on the fence, so I imagined how cool it would be to have those obstacles block the player and their water but not the zombies at all times. Being able to spend the money on upgrades, purchase automatic sprinkler systems to slow the drain on a patch of plants as the intensity and difficulty ramps, that sort of thing.
One nitpick is there was a sound that kept playing like a gear turning, I had no indication what it meant cause everything possible keeps happening after a point. Great work on this, I do hope you expand it out later!
@ion-programming @thought-reactor @vidarn @bitpokit Thank your for your kind words you all! :)
@northernhawk @toppervideogames @kevin-meissner @frozen-spirit @kevin-meissner Thank your for your kind words too! And thank you for the observations. The game needs more balance to be more challenging, for sure. The money is something we wanted to use on upgrades in the robot but, you know, game jam scope is always difficult hahaha. It ended as a score in a more arcade type of game, which sounded like a correct solution.
We are happy you liked the game, so thank you for playing and commenting you all!!
Congratz for this very nice game! i love the Zombie pumpkin he is so cool ! Lots of Particle effects and nice feedbacks help to understand the game. I felt it was a bit to easy to survive, my game last more than 10 minutes and i was lacking a clear objective to motivate me to continue.
Really cool game! But the water tank is a bit too small, I ended up just standing next to the water source the whole time :D
This is very well made. I really enjoyed the graphics and sound in this game. The characters are just top notch and so is the background environment. The mechanics are well executed. Good job!
It was fun to play but it gets repetitive really quickly. I think you could improve this by adding some purchasable upgrades (increased water tank, more speed, splash attacks, automatic watering turrets, etc).
The art and audio is great!
Here is my playtest:

Good job on the game, it was fun. The instructions were clear and the game was easy to pick up. I just wish I could have used the money I got from collecting the plants. Maybe if you guys are planning a post-jam version or expansion you guys could add upgrades like expanding the water tank, turrets, and assistants to help you maintain the plants or fend off the zombie plants. Also, Well done on the audio I thought the zombie voices were funny.
Very fun game !
The 3d is nice and create fun atmosphere. Zombie plants make me laugh. The difficulty should increase more quickly and zombie plant have to be more dificult kill. Adding more mechanics or items could be cool also.
Great job !
The Zombie plant kill mechanic reminded me of Super Mario Sunshine, really fun game and high quality music for such small amount of time!
A robot on a farm? Sign me up right now! The models and assets are so amazing. Even the particle effects and bars! Nothing to compare really a great entry!
The game was fun and I got how the gameplay works without needing the tutorial. Love the vibe im getting from this. It reminds me of plants vs zombies. Nicely done this is very well made.
I had fun with this one. Love the art style too!
Very very well executed, especially coding, music and graphics wise! But from a gameplay perspective I thin there are a couple of things that could be improved. So I have to stand next to this water canister constantly to get water back. Maybe make it so that the refill is automatic? And also I needed to click 10000000 times, maybe can I just hold down my mouse button to shoot water? And also while standing next to the canister all the time it blocked my vision so I had a really hard time. These things are easy to change and make the make so much better! keep it up!

Cool! I love the entire art style. It is so beautiful. Also I think it is unique that less irrigated plants turn into zombies. Though is hard to water all the plants, the spawn speed of veggie zombies well balanced. Great job!
Nice style of the game and interesting gameCore. I have a lot of fun when play it.But it seems to me that sometimes it is too complicated and difficult to keep all the plants. Of course, I would like to see improvements and in-game purchases, but this is beyond the scope of the competition. Good job!
Hey! Played your game and loved the whole setting and the artwork is amazing! Want to know if you plan on expanding here's the feedback, sorry for the late post, I got sick and had to take a break
