(copypasting what i sent you earlier)

love the visuals 👍 definintely went ham on the squish & stretch lol (music is also really good)

designwise i honestly think it was held back a bit, having to juggle both a tower defense game and a fight the sludge kind of thing was kind of fun for like the first 30 seconds but the enemies + sludge snowball really quickly so you're forced to either plant down a lot of flowers or plant down a lot of light seeds and it's not that easy to juggle, also once you're out of flowers you can't really do anything so i just kind of sat there and watched the enemies eat the flower

i think this would've been a lot better if it was a different theme tbh overall good 👍

I loved the game! Was very nice. Animation was amazing. Very juicy. Only got to wave 9 tho. Tried like 4 times :) I dont really have any suggestions. Maybe make the smoke a little smaller and add super nice particle effects. Otherwise solid game!

I really liked this game ^^ The music and gameplay were nice, I just wish the darkness didnt spread so fast, I didnt have time to do anything before it got me :D

Good job, great realisation, but the game is too hard.

I confirm, the darkness grown too fast !

Real nice entry! I really don't have many nits to pick, had a good time trying to beat my score. You'll laugh, but so far it's round 6 :^)

Looks very polished, I enjoyed it.

Holy heeeck this is stressful! But damn your art style is always so nice and here especially so, I really envy your minimalism. Unfortunately no, solarkid can not save it, at least not when controlled by me... Played it on stream (right at the start), great game :heart:

oooooooohh i really wish i could get past wave 7 because i caught some glimpses of there being more to the game but sadly the sludge builds up too quickly despite my efforts, but it was still really fun juggling everything around (and the music was great it reminded me a lot of cult of the lamb and the visual style of your games is always beautiful to see i love it) with a bit more balancing this could be even more fun cuz as of right now it feels kinda held back by that (after a while the best strategy i could muster was to plant a lot of attacking flowers at the start and then when the sludge inevitably surrounds everything to only wander out to get corpses to replenish the cleansing light flower (which was also all i had time to do since walking on the sludge also makes you slower))

Love the idea of the game! Got to wave 8, I just wish I could play for a bit more before the darkness consumes me. Nothing that can't be tweaked with some changes on the numbers though! Great entry :)

Great presentation but definitely needs work on balance. Insanely difficult with zero breathing room.

Great sound + animation, good job. Go rate more games!
