Congrats on finishing your game! This is a pretty unique game.
It too me a moment to figure out what I was supposed to do, but once I figured out "turret defense + action boss" I could really see the potential in this design. It felt really good to be able to swap to a new bud moments before getting trampled. Getting a good spread and seeing the barrage of seeds felt pretty good, too.
I think I would have liked to see a more clear indicator of ammunition refill. It feels like each new seed you get is on a brief timer or cooldown? It wasn't clear why I would sometimes fire 3-4 or just 1 at a time.
The boss fight also felt like it dragged on a little bit too long, especially phase 2 where it moves faster and receives fewer hits as a result.
But still a really enjoyable game. Well done, team! Keep making games!
Oh yeah, and the art is super cool!
Thanks for playing! You actually get a new seed every second or so and can see them accumulating at the bottom of the screen. Every time you plant a bud you use a seed so if you go awhile without planting you can save them up.
Damn!!! Awesome aesthetical artworks <3
Great work!!
The art is incredible. The gameplay is exciting as well.
I smiled at the ending scene. Well done!!
Loved the aesthetics of this game! And gameplay was really solid too. One of the games I enjoyed the most in the jam!
Really unique art style and I really apprciate that, the painterly aesthetic to the game is unlike any other jam game, huge props to your artist! On top of that the gameplay was super solid and intuitive especially considering you are a flower aha, I would like to see maybe different flower types with different effects, like poison or a snare effect. The comedic factor of the flower being the hero and the knight just out there chilling taking a nap was a nice touch to finish with. Overall a really great submission with heaps of potential as a full game!
