The atmosphere of this game is fantastic! The strange but cute character sprites paired with the relaxing music makes for calming and captivating gameplay. Great use of dithering on the artwork.
A small detail I liked was when you fill up a flower bed the outline goes away from it. This helped with readability of the map, and I knew once the outline went away I can focus more on defending my lawn. Great work on this!

fun game. would be cool to have more different enemies. the music is nice an calming, good contrast to all the shooting :-) good job!
I really love my gardening with splatoon gun. Love the warning feedback of the spawning location of enemy.
pretty looking game and I love the little detail of the flowers waving around. the game itself is pretty simple and straightforward; its not really the type of game you would come back to replaying, but at the time your playing its such a cozy gameplay experience. some upgrades or powerups might help add more variety and replayability.
Very chill game, I had fun with it. I like the artwork and the music. Gameplay is smooth overall, maybe a tad easy. I would have liked to see the flower growing mechanic more tightly integrated into the level goal. It felt like something that just kind of happened while fighting the enemies.
A very polished and fun game but I feel the gameplay can be a bit disjointed at times. Since the level doesn't end until all the enemies are killed, there's not much incentive for me to grow the garden until the end, where I can simply leave one enemy alive and grow the garden while avoiding it. Maybe just a time limit for each level might work better. The art is very nice, though the fact a butterfly is an enemy isn't very clear. I enjoy that you thought to have a graphics settings, but I'm unsure what it does.
Wow, I loved the plant animation when you shoot on of the grass patches… I think this game has a lot of potential, job well done!
If you find the time to play our game too, I would appreciate it!
Amazing game. 10/10. I got to level 8 before i died. I had a lot of fun!!
Art and sound design are awesome, but it would be more engaging if you had upgrades to the water gun like shooting faster or in a cone, but overall really well made and polished game.
This game was really well polished. I love the art, and the sound effects was the cherry on top. Amazing game :D
The flowers filling in feels really satisfying! Overall, very chill and nice score attack game. Part of me wishes each wave would end if I filled out all the flowers, rather than being based on how many enemies you kill, but nitpicks aside this is very, very good stuff!
art style is simple and clean, yet blends beautifully into the game
