Ranked from 41 ratings. Score is adjusted from raw score by the median number of ratings per game in the jam.

How does your game fit the theme?
We decided to explore the theme through the looping behavior of the life 'cycles' of plants with a twist using bullet hell gameplay, thus blending two of our personal favorite genres of games. As a bonus we also made the plant pots move in a circle!

Incredible stuff, also loved the game :)

Thank you for the feedback! The website version is in the description of the game's itch.io page. All the game's developers are also regulars at the unofficial Desmos Discord if you want to ask anything!

The graphics being made only in desmos is absurd, good job! I glitched the game collecting the cactus tho, but overall it's a fun experience! Again, using only math formulas to do graphics is insane, kudos to you!

Had a very fun time and played all the way through! It was a very chill experience despite the bullet hell aspect to it.

The idea is great, planting plants in order to dodge them to collect later is very neat and i don't think i saw it before, great jobbb
