I think I won? I can’t really tell but the screen is green! :] Pretty simple concept but relatively easy to play through, some sfx feedback when shooting would be nice and I think that having some screen-shake would be fun too, I think this could make for a pretty fun chaos game :]

this was very funny, especially the lawnmowers. though I could not play it that long cuz the plant glitched out the scene. overall good game.

Thanks for playing! Can you explain some more what you don’t like about the art please, I want to improve.

hey! no problem, i'm just not a big fan of pixel art in general, i also found the background very simple

MhiwDeveloper1 year ago

Ah, I see.yes the background is just a big tilemap made out of one grass sprite rotaded and flipped.

This is fun, but I feel as though the usage of the theme is more of just a visual choice, which is fine, but it would've been cool to see it affect gameplay somehow. I also weren't sure what any of the upgrades were, so I just picked when at random when I died hoping it would help. I do love that the game over screen is literally just a mowed lawn, it fits with the theme and I find it hilarious. Great Job.

Ha ha, yes I know the gameplay is a bit lacking. Gamedesign is an area I want to greatly improve on. Still, thanks for playing and your feedback!

Fun to play, I feel like it's something you could play multiple times and enjoy! Got swarmed by lawnmowers and they scared me hahah

Lol. I know, the lawnmovers are scary.

I had fun with the shooting. FOV felt a touch small.

Thanks for playing! Yes I know I experimented a bit with “peeking the mouse”, the the camera shifts a little towards the mouse. I unfortunately did not get that working.
