This was really great! I loved how much character and humor it had in the little touches like the stretch/squash animations, the helicopter melons LOL. I got 30 points. I was mostly just running around spamming to plant and pick up seed without much thought. This game was the first one I've played in my ratings so far and was super impressive to me, high ratings in every category!
The game was fun, I tried to beat my previous score. loved the game mechanic and variable weapon while planting crop and same time. the ui design is so cute! :3 nothing need to change. good job :thumbsup:
Pretty fun! I'd love to see being able to carry more than one weapon at a time, though the concept is really cool.
Good game! I love the choice for seeds being weapons and food, makes for a interesting choice when flooded with enemies!
Thanks for the kind early comments!
@ahintoflime Yea! We definitely had a lot of fun developing this game, as some of the ideas were surprisingly more funny(and actually funny) when we implemented them, so we had quite a bit of laugh ourselves too haha! Thanks for enjoying the game!
@aznz Thanks for liking it, we wanted to have at least a bit interesting dynamic of the mechanics, hopefuly it was somewhat achieved! Our artist will be happy to see you like her designs!
@nikkunakku Thanks! We wanted to avoid having more than one weapon at once to allow some sort of strategizing and dynamic, we think it could become spammy and would kill the the idea of planting and managing what you choose, thanks for the feedback tho!
@nostresswes Thanks! The heal was actually an idea later in the development as we realized the player actually should have some sort of heal in the midst of the floods of the enemies!
@john333 Oh yea definitely, the game would need some changing up if you wanted to add more than one weapon to hold, haha. Just thought it would be a fun idea to incorporate in somehow.
Such a cute game! I love the puns of the vegetables and my favorite weapons are definitely the PomeGranate and the CarrotMace! I have to becareful with where i plant my seeds because i always get stuck while kiting the incoming angry vegetable.
You'll all be juice...!!! Nice and fun game with bunch of humor!
Hey guys, I just got an idea. Because we unfortunately didn't have time to make a leaderboard, let's share your scores and try to beat eachother! Beat me, a totally unable-to-play-this-genre-of-games girl:

love your ideas for the enemies and weapons <3 Audio is nice as well. Good job!
Great game ! Really fun and creative I was fighting for my life
Hey, cute! I only managed 42... are the spiky pink balls supposed to be seeds? I was having a hard time picking those up in particular. This game is surprisingly intense!
The weapons are creative, the colors are wonderful; I wish we could walk through the plants, and that collecting seeds was easier. But overall a pretty and fun game! Well done!
@vyolfers, @she-wrote Thank you for your kind words! We are glad you enjoyed our game. The plants are tricky, we agree (and are thinking about whether or not to leave the colliders in).
@monoh-behavior, @wolkp, @minakorii We are happy to hear you enjoyed our game, thank you for telling us!
@caeonosphere, @she-wrote - you are right, the spiky seeds could have had a bigger collider. Thank you so much for your feedback!
I like the graphics and animations. It's fun to play and fits the theme. Good job!
A unique and beautiful game with some really cute visual elements :) the variety of both weapons and enemies made it quite enjoyable! I can totally see this being expanded by adding some kind of shop/upgrade system but it doesn't even need anything else as it stands :) awesome and impressive work!
Definitely gets intense if you let them pile up. Fantastic job considering it's a jam game!
eheheh, I admit I laughed. Enemies are funny (even if deadly :fearful: ) . mechanics are nice In my opinion the pace is a bit too fast, it gives you no resting moments and the feedback of hitting/missing is not always satisfying but dudes, it's a really nice entry. Thanks :smile:
@helen Thank you!
@avi Thanks! The expansions would be definitely possible! But considering it was a game jam we didn't even consider those options haha Glad you enjoyed it!
@maimai Yes, and considering unreals sometimes buggy physics, if you try to jump through a bunch of enemies, sometimes it can block push you in the air too! Thank you for enjoying it!
@leggy Glad you found it funny, at least Im not the only one who was laughing haha! And yes, the resting moments _were_ planned, short breathing ones, but as you probably know how it goes through game jams, it didnt make it! The same goes for hitting/missing, had we not have final hour problems there would be more feedback, too bad. Thanks for the feedback though and for enjoying it!
Wow! Fantastic entry.
Reading the description, I was a bit worried that the game was going to be over-scoped, and be too confusing to play. It was very approachable though!
The only real complaint I have is that the motion blur made me want to puke. Not sure what's going on there.
As far as bringing it to the "next level", here would be my advice for a post-jam 1.1 update: - Better feedback when an enemy is being targeted/damaged - Tamer controls, and fix the motion blur - In general paunchier sound effects to go with the attacks/damage/etc.
But really, fantastic job !
Nice entry! I like the multiple use of seeds for healing and planting, growing your own weapons is a very nice touch and tying seed drops to combat is a good way of making sure people participate in combat more.
I do wish the enemy spawns scaled up slower and that seeds didn't act as mini walls but maybe multiple farming patches would solve that. Maybe a slight buff to healing too.
Very fun little game and it's a nice and hectic way to spend a few minutes seeing how far you can get! Nice 3d models and I appreciated that you could still attack with the shovel if your weapon runs out. If you work on more games like this, it would be fun to see a co-op version!
The game is fun to play. I loved how the harvested plants become weapons! But game difficulty needs some adjustment. The game becomes overcrowded with enemies in no time. Overall a funny and an entertaining game with lovely graphics!
A very interesting game! The music and graphics are very well done, and I like the pumpkin head on the death screen the most, it's very cute. Unfortunately, this game makes me dizzy to the point of no return, which prevents me from playing for a long time, looking forward to more plants and guns to follow! Come on!
Very cool game! I love the concept and the various weapons, but unfortunately my laptop is a bit too old to run it very well, so there was a lot of motion blur and lag for me. I very much enjoyed the art from what I could see, with the different fruit and vegetable enemies all looking very distinct and cute. I would love to see the concept expanded in the future.
