Gameplay Instructions
About
The spring has came and your allergy kicks in again. Stop the spring from spreading by killing all the flowers and trees, that will stop the flowers from blooming.

HOW TO PLAY
There are 5 levels, with last one repeating (it's hard to pass it even once)

*IMPORTANT
When it says SPRING INTENSIFIES, it means you passed the level

CONTROLS:

WASD - MOVE
Left Click - Hit/Shoot
1 - Select Scythe
2 - Select Axe
3 - Select EXTERMINATOR 3000
4 - Select Pollen Scanner

GAMEPLAY MECHANICS:

1. Winter/Spring
Areas affected by spring bloom are doing damage to you, so try to avoid them, or clear them before your allergy gets stronger.
!!!Don't forget, flowers are always growing in spring!!!

2. Weapons
SCTYHE - Use Scythe to cut flowers and grass or do damage to bees
AXE - Use Axe to cut trees or do damage to bees
EXTERMINATOR 3000 - Exterminator is your best ally against fighting against bees, and it can help you take on more than 1 at a time.
POLLEN SCANNER - Use your Pollen Scanner If you can't find that sneaky flower or tree. (after selected, you have to click left mouse button for it to show the way)

3. Loratadine
Best friend in tough times, it can stop nose from running or you from sneezing, but be careful drinking more than one in 7 seconds, weakens the effect of the next and makes you sleepy (trust me i know this from experience). 3 of them at once, and they have no effect on you anymore.

4. Bees
You are taking their food and that's a no no, so be careful they can swarm you and do significant damage, even if you survive the attack.

I died very fast every time I played. If it was not the pollen then it was the bees that killed me.

Hmm i tot the first 3 levels are easy and 4 and 5th hard. I had no one to test it, i guess testing it yourself is not that good hahahhaha.  Can i update it after closed dates or should i leave it as it is? Btw thanks on your feedback, it means a lot.

If you like to updated the game after the jam ends, you can of course do that. And if you do that, you can write a replay to this message and would be back trying you game again.

Hey JK, since i can't update here is a quick playthrough how it is played. level 4 and level 5 get really hard tho. I didn't give learning curve. Thanks on feedback again, it will help me a lot in the future.

It was fun to see the way you played the game. It is clear to see that you know exactly what to do, and when to do it.
