Enjoyed the art for this game. I think the game gives some character from the art style and the player/bug designs. The bug design reminds me of those Magic Wiggler toys you can get if that was intentional or not.

For improvements, maybe add more enemy variety? This could be done by just changing the the enemies and give them different attributes. Maybe like faster worms or stronger worms.

Pretty good game! I like the art style and the music fits it really well. There's something pleasantly "medieval" about it. I think the gameplay might be lacking something extra, and it would be good to have some UI saying what wave you're on etc, but still a decent entry overall :)

I really like the design, apart from the projectiles which are a bit small, I like the fact of moving in vertical, it reminds me of guardian heroes on saturn :), a tutorial would have been good at startup, I have understood at the end of my 3rd part how to shoot;)

The game is very fun and chill ! I don't like too much the ground texture because you can't see bullets shots, and maybe add a number to see how many enemies / waves and it's perfect ! But no bugs for me (funny joke) Well done :)

The background music is really good and with that art lines remember me to a musical score. Maybe it would be nice to make bigger or highlight the bullets and add more elements to challenge the player against enemies. Anyway, well done!! Congrats :D

Its a cool game. I liked how there were different enemys with a different stats.

You could make the bullets a little big bigger, I didn't saw them at the beginning, but this isn't really a big problem.

Well done :)

Well, good game, but it will be better if there will be things like lives, or seeds counter, or something that limits you, because now you can infinetly shoot seeds and it's well not challenging. But still, very good game, 4/5.

It's a lot of fun, although it's a little clunky, but it's understandable for a 48-hour game jam

Thank you for your honest words! Yes, it is very cobbled together in some places, but I like to think that gives it charm, like a old oversized sweater.

Hello! I really enjoyed this game and i think the graphics are super cool. As per the usual i'll leave some feedback on general thoughts I had whilst playing.

I would say the game might be too easy, found myself sitting there for a while waiting around. I also think that some sound effects and some kind of score system would really improve this game. The music fit perfectly to the game but sound effects would've improved the experience a lot and same goes for some kind of visible score system. I see how it fits the theme of spring but I am a tad unsure how well it fits the growth theme but that might be me.

Overall the game was quite a lot of fun and I love the art style, just some small features that could've improved my experience as a player. Good job on this one!

Thanks for the positive review.! Yes, the "growth" aspect is a bit open ended, either it's that you have to protect your plants while they're "growing", or that the multiplying of more and more bugs to fight off is like a "growing" threat. Definitely agree with the sound effects comment and "small features that could've improved your experience", looking at a product like this when it's on the table, it's like, there's so much I wish I could add! Glad you enjoyed the game!
