It really had a vibe of Plants vs Zombies. I liked the water sprinkle mechanic because it made you think of the health of your plants. I wish there was music but overall a nice idea that could be a bigger game in the future!

Fun little game based on the idea of Plants vs zombies, but with the twist that your plants need to be watered. I felt like the sprinklers were a bit expensive and I was in a constant rush to defeat ufos, so I couldn't really save up for the sprinklers, but maybe there's a hidden strategy I don't know of. It also wasn't quite sure as to how the sprinklers worked and where they watered. I liked the concept of having plants defeat ufo's and having to maintain plants, so I'm sure with a bit more work this concept would make for a really solid game! Thanks for participating and hope you enjoyed :)

⭐⭐⭐⭐This game brought back memories and new ones I didnt know I had. Wait a second is that a REAL UFO!? Oh my gosh some one get the sprouts!!!

It was afun game. I got the perfect formation so the saucers barely entered a few pixels in my yard. I think it'd be nice that their spawn rate would go even higher. Just add a few sound effects and bigger and smaller saucer and you've got it! I couldn't figure out if plants died because they fired or if it was a time thing. Anyway, my army of sprinklers was unbeatable. I think it could be more interesting if the sprinklers had differen watering patterns and bigger area of effect, so the player has to find good placings and so on. In any case, nice minigame I had fun playing it!

This is great feedback, thanks so much! Was that two columns of sprinklers followed by two columns of seed shooters? Yeah once you figure that out, it becomes unlosable. I definitely want to adjust for that in future updates.

Nice game! It would have been great if you had some music.

Fun concept, reminds me plant versus zombie haha

Cool game! Loved the pixel art. Would have been nice if the difficulty increased overtime and there was some music + sfx.

Very nice take on PvZ ! I'm actually impressed by how much fun and engaging this game can be with only two turrets. The fading mechanics is a great variant for PvZ. Great idea !

Game was really fun, very well done.  Hearty congrats on the game.

Couple of minor bugs JFYI, Even without sprinklers some places flowers stay put but in some places they go bad soon. Also could increase the difficulty even more as time goes on.

Really good idea. And nice game to play.

Great concept with the plants and sprinklers having durability ^^

It could benefit from more variety both for the player to place different plants or more powerful sprinklers and enemies
Some music and SFX would do wonders too 

But still, great job ^^

Foliage versus Flying Saucers! I love it ♥

Submitted

Good work! Feels like a solid start that could benefit from a couple more things to place and some BGM!

Vegetation versus legally distinct character. Very cool <3
