Hey OwlUNeed!
Thank you for trying out the game and your feedback!
I had to make the game faster for the demo (thats why the plants grow that fast and the finger cramping haha).
The way youve played it: yea thats a smart one. If you dont have enough turrets tho and the bugs destroy them, they will attack you! (Notice the 5 tomatoes on the top left! those are your hp!)
In the updated (currently building and coding the full game) there will be slower plant growth! Hehe
Thanks for playing <3
Best,
