jiri-hysek 2023-01-09 15:29

Very polished experience! Especially shooting feels really satisfying :) Graphics is awesome, player character is such a cutie :D Great entry.

imyellowfish 2023-01-09 15:33

cloistered 2023-01-09 15:45

Cool game,Nice Graphics,Nice Music. But Why my evil plants attack myself ToT !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

undev-games 2023-01-09 16:04

Nice game, I loved the music and game effects.

@cloistered I thought the same... lol

dkdwrek 2023-01-09 18:55

I liked the game, the graphics were very smooth. I could not get the web player to work, but the windows build was working.

yorsh 2023-01-09 21:13

Really polished and complete, well done ! All the menues and tutorial are really nice too.

alpharock6 2023-01-09 21:53

Lot of great stuff going on in this! Especially the juicy polish on each of the plant interactions. Super solid entry for a jam :)

oxxar 2023-01-09 22:07

Very nice looking game!

guldfisk 2023-01-09 22:12

The game recindled my hate for gardening :P All deaths were from my own plants... nasty plants. It would have been nice with a win state of some kind (Maybe I just didn't get far enough)

surr-sloidah 2023-01-09 23:07

Really cute artstyle here :) I like the idea of having to maintain a garden with several types of plants to maim and kill your assailants, however I was a bit confused at the start, I couldn't figure out why I was taking damage, only to realise my plants were trying to murder me, seemingly moreso than the enemies.

Some more depth with the plants and further explanation of the gameplay would be great

caldane 2023-01-09 23:11

Great game

zebu 2023-01-09 23:46

Some nice ideas. The way plants hit you is interesting, but it's a bit overwhelming sometimes.

twilightrh 2023-01-09 23:46

Good Game and atmosphere but didnt follow the theme that well. The plants are a double edged sword

amarokczukay 2023-01-09 23:57

yo FLOWERS i'm trying to PROTECT you ok???? aaah… hazardous is the life of a gardener!

the game feels pretty polished, and nice to play, good entry!

shiiro-10psi 2023-01-10 00:07

Like I don't mind that I can be hurt by my plants, but when their shots are actively going after me it doesn't feel great.

maymay 2023-01-10 00:34

The art is amazing, especially in the way everything is animated-- the game feels very alive. The sound design is great too, I love how much weight the shooting has. I was pretty confused why my plants are attacking me though, it seems pretty different from how I'd expect a tower defense game to work

aka-tim 2023-01-10 01:03

Thanks for all the great feedback so far! There is a 'Zen' mode where plants do not hurt you for those looking for a more relaxed gardening experience!!

xcarl 2023-01-10 02:40

The music and graphics are super cool! Also it's very polished! The idea of your own plants attacking you is interesting, but also is a little confusing.

bufalloo 2023-01-10 07:49

the depth of gameplay was incredible given the time constraints and everything feels very polished

diego-teran 2023-01-10 07:54

The game feels super polished! Animations, sfx, and gameplay all felt good. Probably the most fun I've had all Jam!

ironhandmd 2023-01-10 07:56

great game! I like the art ,the color gives justice the mood of the game, the controls are tight and responsive, the mechanics are easy to understand, plant and water and protect , a cool take on tower defense, this has good replay value , overall I enjoyed playing this one! congratulations! keep it up!

kingpotatocannon 2023-01-10 07:57

Loved the instructions, both the styling and the explanation drawings. As others have mentioned, was a bit surprised that the plants hurt us. The plants hurt me more than the enemy sadly :(

Music was lovely and the animations and art feel very tuned and fluid!

ng-vicious 2023-01-10 08:00

Nice game!

pat-cleaver 2023-01-10 13:58

Wow the level of polish here is superb! Simple and effective mechanics, great art and music, a fantastic submission all around, congrats!

syudzius 2023-01-10 18:21

Who would have thought that gardening can be so dangerous? :D Cool game! Loved the art style and music :) It was fun

afe 2023-01-10 20:02

Most fun game I played so far. Really like the tower defence mechanics. Shooting is super satisfying. Great job!

totitch 2023-01-10 20:29

Nice graphics

chucks-feed-and-seed 2023-01-10 21:27

Fun and very polished!

derek-volker 2023-01-10 21:33

Whoa, that was a really nice entry.

I found everything really nice and polished, from the mechanics to the graphics and the sounds. But what i found most interesting is that the concept is easy to understand and doesn't need tutorials and such.

Excellent job!

tygrak 2023-01-10 21:37

Great graphics! Really nice music. A very nicely polished game overall! good job :)

The controls written in the background (binding of isaac style) and at the beginning is a super nice touch.

The difficulty was tad too simple in the normal mode, and the hardcore mode sounds a bit annoying. I felt like I was a lot stronger then the enemies, got to 5 minutes and didn't really feel like going longer. Just a nitpick though, balancing a game is super hard -- especially in a game jam, if the game wasn't very well made I wouldn't share it :).

phillip-scott 2023-01-10 21:50

Fun game, so much polish!

felt like the seeds were a little rare but that's probably preference like the art and sounds

Gameplay wise I think it could have used a dash or something

Very nice game jam entry, super polished. However, I had troubles to see those fly enemies as they had no nameplates and similar colors to the flowers.

mololo 2023-01-10 22:01

The game is so polished, it felt great to play. I love the artstyle. Good job guys!

ukulelefury 2023-01-10 22:02

:) Wow, what a fun game! I love the concept. Really great art and UIs. Simple and compelling gameplay! It felt a little too difficult for me personally--I kept wanting to get a little further and really stress-test my machine with the number of sprites on the screen! But this was so much fun!

juzdepeche 2023-01-10 23:18

I think a did well hehe :D

The game is really fun and challenging.

Good job:)

Binding of Isaac feel with garden defense (PvZ) pretty cool!

mactinite 2023-01-11 02:51

The game feels good to play and the mechanics are fun! Really liked all of the tower/plant variety.

yx0884 2023-01-11 09:00

The art style is great, and the music rhythm makes me more nervous (which is a good thing)

It took some time to understand what most plants are for, except for plants with a big mouth and teeth

I feel that the fighting power of the hero is stronger than that of a large area of plants combined. In the early stage, I was in a hurry because I couldn't figure out whether to shoot or plant

The overlap of plants is quite serious. Sometimes I can't even find the pit I planted

And basically, I can only pick up the refreshed plant cards by wandering around. I can't see where they appear because they are blocked by various special effects and plants

But this is a very good game. I put myself into it when I play

I'm very sorry that I have to stop the game and do something else, because it seems that this game has no endig.png

ianlux 2023-01-11 12:52

one of the few 5/5 in this jam, really great game

richard-jedlicka 2023-01-11 21:21

This is wonderful! But kinda hard, especialy the hardcore mode. Love the art and music.

glaikunt 2023-01-11 22:45

Awesome Game! Everything blends together so well. It put together so well; especially considering you only had 72 hours! Think the only thing I can say is the hit box seems a little of depending on the angle, but its super minor. Otherwise really enjoyed playing this one, great job!

bo-dangles 2023-01-12 12:16

Great music and style. I always think its a smart touch when tower defense games allow the player to move around and shoot too. Makes it so youre not just sitting there watching the battle happen, but instead get to take part of it. Also its great to see you had time to add in a harder difficulty mode.

timur-bahadir 2023-01-12 20:49

Awesome game, feels incredible polished and a unique idea!!

danmerey 2023-01-13 01:39

I like the art of characters / some projectiles / GUI and work on some details, although gameplay seems to be overcomplicated and I didn't feel the goal. Also watering plants doesn't work as I expected (I though that I need to spray the plants, but I needed to press right where the plant is to grow it). Also sounds seem nice. Character movement animation looks too jerky in my opinion.

pazzi 2023-01-13 06:22

This is amazing! The controls are very fluid and pretty intuitive, the visuals and the music/audio is spot on! The level of polish is insane! Awesome work! >~<

kostas-nik 2023-01-13 17:28

Pretty cool game. Love the music and the color pallete. Also very fun to play and polished

joror 2023-01-15 15:34

Really neat chaos shooter~! Nice graphics and animations. Didn't have much time to think about what I was planting, but perhaps that is where the longevity is. :D

Well done!

keip 2023-01-20 22:38

nice work guys. i liked it very much. the music and sound effects are great. the idea and the gameplay gives a really nice mood. well done

hayricakir 2023-01-23 11:22

Gameplay is fun, art is awesome and audio is very good too. But it was a bit hard to understand what to do at the start because we need to water the plants a few times to make them grow (I understood it later). It would be better if there is some kind of feedback that indicates the plant is growing whenever we water them. Also I think enemy hitbox can be a little bit bigger. Other than that, very solid entry, great game feel and fun gameplay. Good job mate!

no-whone 2023-01-23 12:39

Great work! One of the most visually appealing game in the jam! The gameplay was nice and simple... A bunch of plant variety makes the game more interesting and fresh. I also liked the music... very alive. The difficulty scaled quite well , tho it got quite ridiculous in the end game. The character animations were pretty cute and the plants were pretty well-designed. Great Job!
