Solid game, solid graphics, nice job.
I thought I was done and then it was like "LEVEL 2!"
I couldn't finish because I'm terrible at jumping games, at least on mouse/keyboards, but the puzzle aspect was a very welcome addition.

Great game! The art is nice, cute and cohesive, but the best part is the gameplay and how much content you managed to put into it. The main mechanic is nice and well executed: The levels are well thought, and there's some constant progression in the game. While I disliked that getting killed by a slime late in a level sends you back to the beginning, the game was balanced enough to not make this frustrating. The addition of the plants-vs-zombies lookalike plant, but with a gun, was an unexpected funny touch. There was a point however, where I tried to reach some platform by bouncing on two spring plants back and forth. I'm not sure if I just didn't execute it properly, or the game just didn't allow it, it was not clear.
The core game mechanic also reminded me of a level in Spyro where you had to plant either bouncy mushroom or a platform daisy, to reach the top of some tower. Not sure if you got inspiration from that :)
Overall this felt more like a small completed game than a jam entry. I had fun playing it. Congratulations!
good game idea it reminds me by my last jam game ,i couldn't pass the 3rd enemy !
Thanks for making a fun platformer! Very creative level design.
Awesome work. The variety and versitility of the plants was a nice asset. The graphics were also super cool.
Cute characters, and fun idea for platforming! I have always wanted to make a platformer where you grow plants to help you progress!!
This games really great! Amazed at how many genuinely good puzzles there were! Peashooter with a gun is also top notch! Great stuff! :D
The artwork is consistent. I like the puzzle mechanics. I think there could have been some minor tweaks to player movement. I personally prefer spacebar to my jump, but i feels like you wanted all input to be handled using only WASD. Nice work!
I like how clean the art is, and the puzzle mechanics were cool, however, I did get stuck on the third level. (browser).
theres a part torwards the end of level 3 where (I think) your supposed to jump from one flower to the other then exit the level. when i try to do that, I phase through the second flower, or I successfully bounce off the second flower, but i don't get enough height to clear the second level. is this a bug, or am i just dumb??? :D
That sounds like a bug to me. You are supposed to just bounce on two flowers, so don't worry, you're not dumb.
As a matter of fact, I just went into the browser version of the game and tried it and it does seem to fail sometimes. :/
Sadly, all I can do now is to recommend downloaded version or to try to do it again a couple of times (if it always fails to bounce higher, then that's a serious problem).
Let me know how it goes, and thank you very much for bringing my attention to this.
Really cool. I found the difficulty ramps up a bit quick, but really solid jam game!
I like this game, but i got tuck in the 3rth map =(.
