Fun little game. I like how the bugs explode when you shoot them. Also the controls and concept is quite easy to understand

A simple and fun little game idea. Perhaps a bit too many bugs, but okay it's pretty funny shooting them. Visuals is good, and I also liked the sound effects. Some music would have been great. Overall a good jam game. Well done.
this is so good for reducing stress LOL
Great entry! Like the management aspect and it plays really smooth. I am one of the odd balls though a prefer inverted controls for "FPS" games like this
This concept feels pretty novel -- combining a bit of shooting with cosy gardening. It feels like it would benefit from having a bit more things to aim for (though I don't fault you for that, being that it's a compo game); e.g. other plant types or whatever, so it seems worth going through the maintenance of shooting off the bugs.
Perhaps the bug shooting would be more fun if there were fewer bugs but they run around so you have to try a bit to hit them?
This rules! TF2's sniper's retirement plan. I only wish the water sfx was a seamless loop.
Add some ore to mine and it will lookes like deep rock galactic. Collected 150 coins. it was fun)
Very relaxing game. Graphics look good! The POV camera movement was nice. Bugs didn't spawn for me though? Maybe I didn't play long enough
I really liked the idea and it was a lot of fun to play. I like the animations when the bugs fly away, it's very funny. I didn't find any flaws in the game, it's a pretty simple but original idea that can be played for a very long time)
Yes tiny creatures, get it. In general, the game is fun, but it lacks some kind of goal for the player
Fun game! At first I didn't understand that you actually have to water plants more then once (I guess I am a bad gardener :sweat_smile:) I also intuitively expected plans to bloom, but they didn't. A good entry overoll!
Planted 18 plants, watered them all, and then there were so many bugs it was quite creepy :scream_cat: I sold the bug infested plants, made 305 coins and lived happily ever after :blush:
Oh, I really liked that the bugs only are visible through the scope, nice detail!
This is great, really nice camera work
A bit radical as an insecticide!
I find it a shame that there is not much left to do when all the shelves are full but otherwise very nice.
Really cool mechanic with the scope! Seems like a perfectly _scoped_ and executed jam game, great job!
I liked the magnifying glass/scope mechanic. Fun short game!
Ha yes the quiet and relaxing joy of gardening ... few neightboors and bugs injured in the process but it's all biological agriculture ! Managed to have every spot taken and few big plants focusing on them between waterings Very funny and smart take on the theme for a compo ! Shooting sound was a bit brutal in this calm but that's ok XD well done !
