How does your game fit the theme?
The circle of life, represented by the gnomes getting the flowers and the flowers being used for granny to earn money to get more flowers that spawns more pesky gnomes. And there is a watersprinkler that circles. And the game loops too.

MY EARS
really cool game
banger
Definately a unique submission, awesome audios and great visuals very easy to understand - my only issue is the loop theme is a bit weak but I think you are definately onto something here.
Good stuff!
The art is really creative and fun, good job !
“Granny's Garden” is a delightfully irreverent entry from the most recent GMTK game jam, blending chaotic whimsy with surprising depth. Players assume control of an irate octogenarian astride a rather sprightly lawn mower, charged with defending her beloved blooms from a rebellion of dispossessed garden gnomes. The premise is as madcap as it is marvelous, with fluid controls and comically exaggerated physics lending a charm that belies the underlying satire on property, entitlement, and floral obsession.
The game's audacious tone reaches a crescendo with its unapologetic treatment of the yellow gnomes—whose incessant meddling and uncanny smugness render them thoroughly loathsome. One cannot help but echo the protagonist's sentiment: the yellow gnomes, quite frankly, can go suck a dick. In short, this uproarious horticultural skirmish is a peculiar joy, and an exemplar of game jam creativity at its most unhinged and inspired. Bravo.

Funny concept. I had a good laugh about the sounds the gnomes make when you kill them. I was a bit confused by the upgrades. Some explanation text would have been nice. Clever use of the theme with the sprinkler (and a good mechanic as an obstacle). I don't think many people would have come up with this one 😁
I really love the art and the music in this game! The sprites are so great especially granny and also the guy drinking beer on the side! The music was perfect too, a nice fun bounce but also slightly eerie and creepy. Cool game!
