Funny idea playing the weeds killing plants instead of the farmer.   I wish there was a level select and retry . I beat the first level and then skipped to level 3 and died on my first move   but then had to start over again.   Good job.

Once you get the hang of the game its a good time consumer.  Really enjoyed it!!!

Interesting concept and well implemented! Keep it up!

There is a fun loop in there. Though did have to wait around awhile sometimes with weeds everywhere but never getting 'eat'. Maybe need something to give a timecrunch? Like bonus points for doing it quickly/spreading out, or the farmer getting madder overtime and pulling weeds faster or getting a weedwacker or something.

Hey this was super clever! This is definitely one of the most unique interpretations of the theme I've seen so far, and there is the seed of a really compelling game loop here. I could actually see this as a really fun little roguelike deckbuilder, it plays with space in an interesting way that most games in that genre don't do. Our team also made a game that place with space on a grid like this!

Congrats on a jam well done!

I really liked this game, it could definitely do with being made a little harder, it would be cool if the farmer called in backup later (extra farmers) or invested in some equipment to help out like pesticides. Really great foundation I can see you expanding this idea a lot, Great submission!

Thanks for playing! We definitely want to expand on it in the future, I love the pesticides idea!

Really fun idea and cool gameplay loop. With some progression systems and random events I could definitely see this being a full game!

Solid entry! The tutorial was a little overwhelming (much text, but it's normal with these time constraints), but the game was great and fun to play. I actually played more than two levels.

Nice one mate ! You have the general idea already, I'm sure with a bit more time & work it could become a cool game, for 2 days you did real great :)

Game is really good

This was fun! For my taste it could be a bit more challenging and maybe a preview of next actions in the queue would be nice.

Developer(+1)

Thank you! I think the preview idea is a good one, we may consider adding something like that in the future!

Pretty fun and interesting little puzzler! Once I figured out the hotkeys (1, 2, E) the game was pretty quick and easy to play! Very thematic, well done.
