Really enjoyed the whole experience, the purpose of 'cutting' the roots and plant parts was a little unclear, though it may have just been a tool in the sandbox rather than an actual thing you need to do to help the plant prosper. Loved the aesthetic and sound!
@deathbysnail Whilst Defending your units: - Take about half damage - Don't attack continuously - Can't move through teammates
It's meant to act as a way to let you buy time when your mana is low, but I agree it isn't telegraphed effectively, I've amended the description of the game to make this clearer for future players :)
We'd like to have put in much more attack variety, including some that would make certain cells impossible to traverse, or cause damage over time, so you'd really have to focus on 'putting out the fires' so to speak. Much more iteration time would help with striking that balance between dodging and health/mana management.
Thanks for your feedback!
Love the concept!
Lots of nice visual polish, the animations and audio work well together, the game is very challenging! The water mechanic I dont think is explained as well as it potentially could be, but I did like the expansion on it with the introduction of valves. A lot of clear inspiration from the Guns of Icarus games, with some more iteration on tweaking difficulty I think it would be a really great entry!
Really enjoyed the premise, found a few cases where the mechanic behaved strangely or was difficult to manage, but managed through it. The art was really nice, though it would benefit from it's own font, as the default font is a bit jarring against the custom pretty backgrounds
