Interesting gameplay. Plants vs Monsters )

Played cople times but everytime was quiqkly surrounded. Maybe I miss some strategy.

Developer

maybe but the game is also just hard in general

Interesting idea for a game. For some reason though, I kept getting some hard lag spikes, and when they would end I would already be dead. Idk if it's my browser or something else. Either way I thought the game was pretty cool! nice work.

Developer

thanks (i think its your Browser sense your the only one with the problem)

Really cool and unique game, i got to 23, i coudnt beat the red cubes that could take more than one bullet, i did get trap at the start because i didnt know hot to start the game, i think a text like "Grab the dirt and place it the farm to shoot" or something like that to guide me a little bit.

Developer

sorry the tutorail is in the desc because i ran out of time

The gameplay is pretty cool once you get the hang of it. I can't imagine getting anywhere near the 250 mark for the boss, but with some balancing it could be a very fun progression. Nice work!

Developer (1 edit)

thanks also its 175 not 250 i made a typo

The game idea is quite interesting, but lacks some fine tunning and polishing. A few things:

  • at the initial screen for the user to understand the mechanics, seed blits under the right-most column of land patches
  • Failing an impact leaves you “seedless” and you die… maybe some seed spawning or a few seeds in your pocket (kind of “lives” concept) could ease that as the randomness of the seed does not help to strategically use it the best way
  • Maybe having a hint on the actual seed result could improve the strategical aspect of the game
  • landing the seed offcentered and acrros 2 land patches does not bloom it, so precision is maybe a bit too picky in a fast paced plant-and-fire context

I hope the comments feel useful, the game idea is very nice, just requires a few more iterations to grow to full potential I’d say. Excellent job with that!

Developer

thanks

Congratulations on making this game !

I've played your game during a live that you can watch here :

The live is timestamped so you can go directly to your game.

I hope the feedback and live reactions will be useful to you. Keep it up !

Nicely done! Took a bit to get the hang of but interesting concept. Blocking the game until the player shows that they know how to plant a seed is honestly a good idea, some visual indicators might have helped there though!

Developer

thanks for the feedback!

Games neat. A bit hard on a touch pad but fun. Sound and art are good.

Developer

thanks

It was a pretty fun game a little confusing to get a hang of at first but still pretty fun non the less

Developer

thanks

High score 43! (Not sure if that is all that high but I held on a while until the pink ones started showing up.) Cool concept and a solid core mechanic foundation that y'all could continue building on. I had a great time and glad y'all got it working :)

Developer

nice the game might be to hard because 250 is when the boss shows up  

Developer

also theres 4 diffrent levels of seeds

Hey, I'm super confused. Can u please tell me how it works?

Developer

ok so the game was broken! don't worry i fixed it basically drag the seed to the garden then when the seed is done growing a gun will appear and shoot at your mouse shoot at the play button
