Thank you all for the comments! I'm planning on revising it when I have a break from homework. The main goals with the revision are to add more levels to the tower, add some of the artwork I didn't get chance to finish, and improve the formatting. 

Also yes, the Necromantis is horny.

I like that the flower grows throughout the adventure, it gives it a sense of urgency and makes the world more alive, especially as it starts growing over doors and poking through stones.

It was a great idea including both the "Minor" and "Major" resolution options. Is the "DTF" in the Necromantis intended to indicate that it's horny? Speaking of Necromantis, the artwork is great, it's perfectly disturbing - it would look awesome on the cover too.

I liked the map you drew, it was helpful to keep track of the room layout.

I haven't printed it out, but I think the scissor section at the bottom is intended to keep the Overgrowth bar visible no matter what page you're on after it? Great idea!

Necromantis has to be my favorite word from this jam. Overgrowth and bugs as themes make for a lot of fun situations! Your drawing of the dungeon as a cross-section is also very fitting. Deceitfully whimsical, thanks for writing it!

So much flavor in such a small package! Bugmen! Truly awesome! Also, "Like sewers overflowing with soured milk" is my favorite piece of description that I have seen so far. I would absolutely love a deluxe version of this with a numbered map.

Came for the flowers. Fled because flying mantis.

Your art is great! And I love a tower. And a three word rhyming title. And flowers 😄

The collect taxes hook is hilarious! In general lots of little details that are great and humorous (mantis smile teeth, man-moth, etc). I noticed a few spelling/grammar errors, eg. LABORTORY and I think the organization of each page could use a little more sub headers to make it easier to jump to what you need. Overall looks like a fun session to run!

Brilliant! Can't wait to try this out at my table.
