How does the game fit the theme?
everything you create will go wrong:
the tiles you remove to let water in serve as an obstacle for you, the crops you plant blow up and harm you
What code and assets did you not make from scratch during the jam (if any)?
all code was made from scratch,
all sprites were made from scratch,
all sound was made from scratch

I like the concept of this one, love the pizza tower inspired art style, nice menu and that walking back and forth animation is great.
It's necessary to read the description to fully get how to play (at first I thought "ghost mode" was the game not working, not intentional): only a certain amount of moisture will make the proper tiles to grow plants, so while invisible, you have to put holes in the available space to prepare the soil with "X", then by pressing "C" you initiate the second phase of the game by dropping the character in, wich with "Z" plants and jumps with "Space".
I'd make some keys do multiple things ("X" for both putting holes and planting or "Space" for changing mode and jumping), get some funky music and more sfx somewhere to put in (Assets are allowed, don't be stubborn! One week is a very limited amount of time), some UI and in general make things clearer in-game ("Ghost Mode" text on top, which tile is the right one) and that's about it, the game loop is addictive. As a jam entry, it'd be incredibly solid already and, with more layouts and plants, this would be one of the tops I feel!
Cute game and cool art, it amused me
Nice Idea, maybe some in game Instructions or something like that would be nice. Very nice and solid entry :)
It would be helpful to have the tiles highlighted that would be changed to a water tile. I like the idea of the plants fighting back.
Nice job! It's hard to understand how to play, so I read your description to understand how to move and place things.
It was fun planting and dodging things. I got hit by a tomato(?) :'(
That's an interesting idea. I'm sure it has plenty of room to grow if you keep going with the project.
