Wow, that concept is so cool! The mechanics were super polished and it's awesome you managed to make so many different plants in such a short time. It felt great all around, but I think making the rate of fire a bit slower might make the player think a bit more

Mutiny on the BountyGreat fun! I like creating your own enemies, really cool. Lots of action and smooth animations made it feel really good! Solid controls and great, fitting sound effects. I like the heart health that refills, great touch! Well done in the amount of time!

Bilge Rat's BountyCool idea! I like the idea that the player decides how much to take on, and has to weigh the availability of points against the possibility of death. Art and animations are very nicely done. Controls are comfortable and intuitive but might need a little tweaking for accuracy, the bullets don't seem to go exactly where I'm expecting them and the seed placement position and animation don't match up, but that's getting pretty nit picky on a 48 hour build.
All in all: great concept, great execution. I love it.

Bounty BashI like the idea and I feel it is really well polished in some aspects (graphics, transitions, UI...) but it has some flaws like the incorrect aiming or the similar behaviour in all the enemies. It is good but I feel it could be better (time constraints e_e)

What should be doneNice Enemy design , but I feel like the only challenging enemies are the ones that rush you. (apples?) The limiting factor here is the time. Why have a time and health system? I think it needs to be one or the other otherwise i'm locked into mashing plant as fast as possible just to have any enemies on the field.

OutlawsCool and fun game. I thought about doing a plant based bountiful game as well but didn't end up there. Glad to see others using that idea, great work!

The Bounty PitPlayed older build, this is sick! Glad to see someone else hitting the plant theme. I really like the gameplay, but the cursor was really misbehaving for me and made it extremely hard to bring my aim around, not sure what was up with that. Nice polish otherwise though!

Nature's BountyDisclaimer: I played the older build since I'm not sure about the fairness of rating the late build.
The idea of the player making the enemies themselves is definitely original and interesting, though I didn't feel like I had control over which enemy I was planting so there wasn't really room for strategy other than in their timing/placement.
It seemed towards the end of the round that my gun was firing very slowly, so there wasn't anything to do but kite the enemies and wait for it to recharge. Some visual indicator of how many bullets I have left or when the gun is charged would be helpful.
I love the visuals, very cute & coherent style.
Nicely done :)

Coconut Chocolate Bar BonanzaThanks! Yeah I totally get you on the late build thing so it was marked as such. But there wasn't that much difference really.
Anyway, thanks for the input! Wish there were time for balancing but really there wasn't haha, and as for the gun firing slowly, I don't really know where that comes from, did you play the web build? I suspect it might be a performance thing. Not sure! There isn't a system for constraining firing rate! :/
Thanks again! :D
