This game is pretty well made! It's a sizable tower defense game, lots of options, breeding, watering your plants, what more could you ask for? Some quality of life changes, perhaps. But before that, I mus say the presentation is amazing for this game, with the artstyle and the UI looking very clean. For general improvements, it took a while to get used to watering plants, as waving around the watering can around the plant hoping it would hydrate was slightly nerve wracking. The breeding mechanic I heard a sound when I fused two plants together, and I can't tell if I failed or made a new combination. In the game you can see all the plants and they are divided into tiers. I assume you can only research these tiers by researching specific combos for the plants. An easy fix to know whether you successfully bred a new plant is by making locked plants have a darkened outline, and become visible once a combination has been found. Also a specific sound that indicates success. I was successful? in holding off the rat until wave 9, where a giant snail that took no damage showed me the meaning of pain. I don't know if it's a bug that I couldn't hit it, or it required a specific plant, because I had a 4 patch variety of attackers. TLDR, very good game, extremely polished, quality of life changes would help.

Thank you, I'm glad you liked our game :)
The breeding is unfortunately broken due to a bug in this version of the game. The buttons for plants that haven't been unlocked yet are disabled, but the difference in button style is so subtle it's barely noticeable, we unfortunately didn't have time to change that before we submitted our game. The breeding system is definitely something we are working on improving.
The snail really is unbeatable in this version of the game, we didn't have enough time to really balance things well.
It also spawns earlier than intended because I mindlessly rounded the number of enemies that spawn per type, instad of using floor, causing the snail to spawn when your garden is worth half as much as it should be.
