Amazing Game! Feels incredibly polished and looks like a game that is ready to be published, but there are a few pieces of feedback I think could make the game even better. 
1. The depth perception can be really difficult to adjust to at times, I think a very dark shadow that stands out clearly on all floors would help a lot with the player knowing where they are. 
2. Making the plant more of a key component in the level. Even in the final level, I believe I only had to water the plant once, or possibly twice. If it drained just slightly faster, it would make the level just that little bit more chaotic and have the player feel more rushed.
3. The positioning of the straight fire laser in level 3 seems like a huge jump in difficulty. Especially having a chip spawn within such a close range and being unable to move when grabbing the chip, it can quickly seem like you're stuck there forever or required to get hit to grab the chip. Could be I just needed to get gud and play a bit slower, but I believe a slightly faster fire rate on the laser gun, or a slightly changed position would've made the third level a bit more enjoyable.
Once again, amazing game and super fun. The whole team did an amazing job!!

I def thought the watering was a little much. I'll keep these in mind for a future release!
