I liked this game,  the variety of win conditions kept it interesting over the levels.

Really enjoyed the game! Got stuck on the third level, but I thought the gameplay was overall really solid.  The art is also really nice-

I really like this idea, would love to see this taken further with more elements, and maybe some more complex interactions (e.g. certain insects are bad for the plant but attract predators that allow for automatic insect regulation, etc.). For now it feels a bit too easy to find the optimal strategy for each level, but it could definitely become something

Developer

Thank you so much for the great feedback! I really appreciate your ideas and suggestions about adding more elements and complex interactions are very valuable and are something I am considering for future development. The idea about automatic insect regulation through predators is very interesting! I am agree that increasing the complexity would make the experience more challenging and engaging.

Nice job! I really liked art and how you were able to get the plant sway. For this, did you use custom shader to get that effect?

Developer(+1)

Thank you. Yes, I'm using fragment shader to make the plant sway animation. It's basically just moving the texture with sin wave, I combined horizontal sway (which lower at bottom and get stronger near top part of the plant)  and vertical sway (which stronger near side).

Very cool. Thanks for sharing the additional details!
