  • From playing the game I do not have any idea what the different plants actually do. They did not seem to do anything when attacked. The jugs of water I had to figure out how to use on my own and after drinking them, it also appeared that it did nothing. I would start the game with some form of tutorial to help the player understand what to do, as just by playing it you are lost and confused and frustrated. I did like the music though.

Did you include your Game Design Document as a Google Drive link?
Yes, GDD link placed in Extra Notes

Seriously... did you include your Game Design Document?
Yes

Is your game set to Public so we can see it?
Yes

Tell us about your game!
I forgot to mention you can switch the kinds of seeds you want to plant by scrolling the mouse wheel. The AOE on the water-splashing mechanic can grow multiple plants in one go.

This was my first game jam. Thanks for giving me the opportunity to achieve a long term goal. (which was to participate in a game jam)
