What a fantastic game! Lovely graphics and music, nice juicy feeling, and good level of difficulty. I really liked the way the world transforms as you play – I didn't notice each change as it was happening, just "oh wow, now there's a city!". I played with a keyboard and found the modern controls much easier than the classic ones. Also fitted the theme well! Nice job!

Nice graphics and overall game feel! I liked the concept of shooting the badguys making the bad guys bigger - classic game design: the thing that helps you hinders you along the way. I wonder could a future version give some relevance to the growing garden - the various plants could spawn powerups for you or something. Well done!

Chaos RootAbsolutely adore this game! The controls are spot-on, and the way enemies bounce is exactly how you’d expect them to be. The music and sound effects are great and set the mood of the game. It’s has a good balance of calm/relaxing and hectic/intense. It’s a really good take on the top-down shooter genre. Amazing work!

Lil' Cherry's TreeThis game feels amazing! The combination of the sound effects and the bounciness of the character and the balloons makes the game feel so satisfying. This is the type of polish that I wish my games had.
