This game is really cool and has charm and fluid animations, not to mention the amazing music

rex-tv 2023-01-08 21:05

Really plant style I like it

xlores-liang 2023-01-09 02:08

Cool music! I personally expected a boss battle since "harvest" is usually one farmer against many many plants XD

Maybe some kind of implicit tutorials can help the experience.

E.G. There can be somethng at left of the screen hinting that all enemies goes right to left (I thought enemies will appear all around so planted all the things in the center at first.) There can be some kind of horizontal separators like a road or river, hinting the enemies cannot move vertically。 There can be some info about my weapon (how to use every kind of plant) and my arsenal (how to get the plant I want or just get more plants in the game)

Maybe not a unique idea, but the implementation was really good. The graphics were also cute, and the whole game was balanced. I would prefer to have some information about my crops, as many times I would place weapons without knowing if they shoot projectiles or not

Super nice graphics and very good sound and music! Would be cool to see some instructions when hovering over a plant to know what it does before planting it.

icoso 2023-01-09 09:07

Thank you for your feedback, @greenphox and @elastiskalinjen! I definitely wanted to include some sort of tutorial, but I got caught up with time (you know how it is xD). I'll be sure to focus on the player experience in future projects of mine ^^

icoso 2023-01-09 09:08

These are some great ideas, @xlores-liang! I would have loved to make a boss fight for this project, and if I pick up this project again in the future, I might see how that would pan out :D

icoso 2023-01-09 09:08

Cheers, @rex-tv and @gomango99! <3

Nice work. The music is great. Maybe a bit more work on the graphics and UI/feedback/sfx.

joey-shipley 2023-01-09 16:18

Nice work and good creation of plant vs concept.

plexsoup 2023-01-09 23:46

Wow. Fantastic submission for a very short game jam!

fluburbio 2023-01-10 06:53

Your game is gorgeous! :D it’s simple and effective, though either I’m terrible at it or it’s a bit short, because I was overrun pretty quickly :( I killed only 14 farmers and it felt like less than a minute before the screen was suddenly crowded by so many farmers that I had no hope of surviving at all. But the music and art are top-notch!

Congrats on the submission. A good recreation of PvZ.

hmrpf 2023-01-10 16:43

Very well done ! nice design and it was fun to play :) Did a bit over a 100 !

d3kryption 2023-01-10 18:51

I played this for far too long. Gave me huge Plants vs Zombies vibes. EA really did put that game away :(

thanks for bringing back good memories :D

I had fun getting all the plants and fighting the farmers. The graphics are just adorable! Nice work :)

neeeb 2023-01-11 21:44

Fun game with a banger of a soundtrack!

toosalty0000 2023-01-12 04:20

The UI was very clean and well designed. The game was simple to understand, but it was also fun to play. The transitions and animations were also very smooth. Nice job!

ninnec 2023-01-12 06:10

This was one of my favorite games from the jam so far. My only wish is that the vegetables spawned faster so I could build more of a force :-)

tukisboolukis 2023-01-12 07:51

A fun little game, the graphics were cute as well. What did the pumpkin do? I only got one and it died right when I place it down lol.

icoso 2023-01-13 05:27

@arowx Thank you very much! UI is definitely something I need to work on :P

@joey-shipley Cheers! :)

@plexsoup Thanks a bunch! ^^

@zwodahs Thank you! Epic final score B)

@hmrpf Thanks, and very impressive! I need to sit down and see what score I can get to :>

@d3kryption Haha, glad you enjoyed it! Thank you for the nice feedback :)

@neeeb Thanks so much! I spent a while on the musics :>

@toosalty0000 Thanks for the nice feedback! ^^

@ninnec That's a great point, thanks ^^ I'll be sure to work on the pacing for future projects :>

@tukisboolukis Thank you! The pumpkin does some splash damage, but it's not very smart :P

This is the most eye-catching and ear-wormy presentation of the Compo. Everything is so clean and bubbly and polished in its own way. Top marks.

Killed me some 61 farmers. I would have liked to see some extra spin on the gameplay, but that can be hard in 48 hours (I'm one to talk). Overall I really enjoyed this one.

digital-bacon 2023-01-15 10:22

Fun game! Cute graphics, jolly music. Excellent game!

chase-of-bass 2023-01-16 09:36

This was great! Loved the graphics and the music! -and a lot of great variety in the plants! Really fun and got challenging fast! Awesome work! :D

icoso 2023-01-16 10:31

@kymakesgames Thank you very much for your nice comments! Appreciate the time you took to play through the game <3

@digital-bacon Many thanks! :D Glad you enjoyed the game :)

@chase-of-bass Thanks so much, I really appreciate the positivity! :D

mangoworks 2023-01-18 16:56

This game is a nice jam version of PVZ! i like the art and music :)

bloodbane 2023-01-19 08:59

Fun board defense game! I love this type of games. I might play this again sometimes.

grid96 2023-01-20 12:25

icoso 2023-01-29 02:21

@mangoworks Thank you very much! Glad you enjoyed it :)

@bloodbane Cheers! Thanks for playing :>
