Great entry! There's a surprising amount of strategy behind deciding which seeds to plant and when. The only improvements I'd suggest would be some feedback on the bugs being hit as the potato's just vanish into the aether, and perhaps a way to collect a few potatoes through the night just so it isn't game over if you run out of potatoes at night, even with one beetle left. Nice work!

Really cute and fun! The bugs look cute even though I have beef with them. :D
Upgrades and different enemies would be a great addition, otherwise really good project!
Great game! Add upgrades, more enemy variants, and difficulty levels, and then you could put a price tag on it. A few fixes that would be helpful: the time between nights – on my first try, I didn't manage to plant anything and lost (I don't think limited time is necessary when you're already limited by money and field size). Also, 1-day plants don't need to be watered (it would be better if plants started with 0 water).
very solid game! Think i met zero bugs! but i did meet beetles and that was a real fun twist, good job :D
This game was nice. Got to 2000 and it got way too easy so I had to stop. Maybe some difficulty progression would've been cooler, like the beetles become more fast and there are more of them. Still, it was fun while it lasted. Good work
fun game ! really well balanced and easily addictive ! i had a great time
Fantastic work, especially with growing your ammo mechanics. I got a high score of 2215 and it was great fun.
That’s a really creative take on the theme! The gameplay was fun and intuitive, and the overall look of the game is very pleasant. One suggestion: adding some feedback when you hit a bug, like a flickering effect, would make it even more satisfying. Also, it would be great if the flowers were a bit more protected when ammunition runs out. Other than that, I had a great time playing!
I can see this turning into a mobile game.
Pretty good, like the aesthetic and the simplicity of the mechanic. Balancing the types of crops and fending off the beetles each day was a lot of fun.
This game was very fun, I really like the ammunition mechanic and the money management.
Satisfying game loop, and great gradual increase in difficulty! Played this for a while :D
1065, that was fun! I wish there was a better end menu, but it feels juicy enough to want to see more, good job really.
Cool mechanics. It's kind of addictive) Also looks cute.
Hope you'll continue to develop it and add more plants and enemies. Good job!
