Polished game! I love the audio! Well-mixed, the music sounds live recorded, and fits the silly + farming vibe well. Boss music or even an extra layer of sound, could've been nice to change up the vibe slightly for the final wave, but it's an excellent track.
The mob's were really cute! And the pixel art helped to sellthe vibe imo. I do feel like with the larve, something like a player health bar would've raised the stakes. Besides the knockback, since they can't damage plants (I think), I didn't feel a strong reward or risk for fighting them.
Love the boss! The animations were very clean, and reminded me of pokemon. Do think enemy summons or physical attacks at health thresholds could've been cool. Also by the last boss, I only had one last plant, so teleporting to remaining plants, could make it more rewarding.
Overall really impressed with this game, it's a solid entry!

I absolutely loved it. The charming pixel art, the music, the gameplay loop was solid, the overall idea was great and well executed!! I think the game has a lot of potential, and I can definitely see it as a fully released game with more content, more interesting differences in waves, and maybe some changes to the gameplay loop or the level itself! Maybe more plants grow overtime, and you have to keep track of more. Maybe more unique types of enemies that do more than just damage the plants, but have different mechanics.
Overall, it was super fun, and the pace of the game felt perfect. This game deserves more attention for sure!!

Nice fun little concept. Felt very well executed. Couldn't find any issues. It was so fun spraying down the little bugs! Only 2 of my plants died but i didn't know i have to heal them at the start p:
