Pretty good, as others mentioned the balance needs some work, but it's still pretty fun. I like that you are forced to choose between progressing and upgrading using your plants.

Thanks for playing!

This is a good submission, thanks for making it!
I like the way you can do a lot from inside the buggy, that makes it more fun to do drive-by maneuvers.
I would say that the buggy is a bit hard to turn, and the lack of plants near the start really makes getting into the game loop tricky- I never quite figured out how long was too long to be away from the dome, because I only ever found 1-2 plants. (EDIT: Just played a round where 4 plants spawned near the start, and those first few upgrades really made the rest of the round more fun!)

Overall, great submission, I can't wait to see the next project you put out!

Thank you for playing! I would like to get the balance to a playable state. At the moment it is very difficult to grow a plant. As for the time between rounds, in this version of the game it starts at 30 seconds and increases by 5 seconds each round. This is really short to start with, so in the new version I will increase the start time. Also about spawning plants, the further away from the dome you are, the greater the chance of multiple plants spawning next to each other. I'm glad you enjoyed collecting plants from the rover, I'm also going to make a bigger collider on the plant to make it easier to collect them on the go.

actually pretty nice, works really well. if you have a big map like this you might want to increase movement speed though. thanks for sharing!

You occupy correct that of Windows, Linux and Macos, it is only for Windows

Developer

I apologise for the incorrect information, the game only runs on Windows.

Really good game! Very fun concept, I think the turn speed on the car felt a bit too slow and the speed in general was a bit harsh at the start making it a little too difficult for me at first but once you start leveling up it is great! I really enjoyed it :)

Thank you for playing! Glad to hear you enjoyed it! I'll take your comments into consideration, as I mentioned I didn't do a good job on the balance.

A solo jam entry! I enjoyed the game, and I thought that the progression was a bit slow initially, but ramped up and became rewarding. Great work, fellow solo-jammer!

Hi, thanks for the feedback, glad you liked it. Yes, I'm sorry I didn't have time to do much (as we all do), including balancing the difficulty.
