How does the game fit the theme?
At first it seems like a chill gardening game, but most of the time the plants are actually little creatures.
What code and assets did you not make from scratch during the jam (if any)?
I made everything from scratch

I came for the chill planting, and I stayed for the manmade horrors beyond my comprehension.
I like the feel of the game, it's wacky and mysterious and definitely surprising! I think the art + sound + lighting all worked well together.
The UI was a bit small on my screen, and it would've been nice to have a little more feedback to the player (what do the upgrades in the shop do?). I think with a little more content (what if the plants grow more the longer you wait between uprooting and harvesting? What if there were different areas/overlooks/soils you could get to? What if plants interacted with each other in surprising ways?) you could have a real gem on your hands!
I also figured out how to do this by climbing some rocks, poor guy:
BROO HAHAHAHA.... I didnt know that was possible... but THANK YOU SO MUCH, your review is so nice and thought out thank you very much. I definitely gotta work on my UI game. Now I'm like REALLY really considering working on this game more, thank you for the inspiration!
Enjoyed the game! I like that nothing could go wrong with gardening. The main idea is brilliant. Figured a way to "soft-lock" yourself by prematurely destroying the plants before they fully grow and ran out of money lol.
Haha thank you! sorry you got soft locked, probably should have thought of that.
Cool game, the gameplay loop is pretty creative ngl, I just wish the music looped instead of only playing after I left the shop.
Thank you very much, I wasn't too sure on putting music throughout the game because some of the sfx were kind of musical and it clashed a little bit.
I really like the gameplay loop and designs of the plants. I can totally see this being an amazing game if you decide to add onto with more plants, weapons, or even automation.
DUDE thank you, that is like a major compliment! I definitely have expanding it in mind... maybe.
The orange fruit monster scared me the first time!
I had a lot of fun playing! I loved your art style and the sounds worked well together! Decided to leave some of the plants chasing after me after a while to spice things up. Solid game I like the concept!
thank you so much!
Dope game! It looks great and plays well - huge props for being a solo dev on this one.
Dude thank you. my brain is fried after making that....
really good game! Can you rate ours? :)
