ok, so im currently at 11pm, and i just had a few criticisms:
1: balance is all over the place, balloon is basically useless from what i can tell, and car is so expensive that by the time i get enough to afford it, the level is already over
2: the game is just WAY too hard, but not in the fun "oh lemmie try a different strategy and see if that works :)" way, or even in a way that makes the game scarier, but more in the banging ur head against a brick wall in the exact same way every time until the wall collapses or you collapse from blood loss way. the amount of early enemy spawns basically forces me to always place a star first, instead of do what almost any other pvz-like expects you to do, focus on econ early game (theres a reason every single pvz1 level usually sends 1 browncoat as its first wave). now, this would be fine, would it not be for the fact that i have yet to find a single other strategy that works for anything except 8pm (the very first level). i lost on 9pm cus the spawns were too much for me to handle if i didnt immediately place a star. in fact, every level past 8pm i died on at least once before beating it. also rng can screw you over so hard. i had a bike spawn right behind one of those music enemies, and even though i did what (i assume) counters it (teddy bear plus a soldier for extra firepower) it barreled right through everything
3: even when i do get everything right, the aformentioned extreme difficulty makes it feel like im never quite winning, but i sure as hell know when ive lost
that being said, i still love the idea of the game, its just a bit too hard and unbalanced for me to really fully enjoy
