  • This was a solid little puzzle game! The underlying mechanics are fun, and once I understood how the puzzles are meant to be completed, it became a lot more enjoyable.

interesting idea! really like the music and graphics/design!

Great submission! Some of the levels were a bit tedious at times, but I generally found it really compelling.

Having a single action undo (usually Z) would have been really nice, especially given the fact that many of the levels seemed to require quite a few actions, but at least there was a reset button.

Overall, great job!

Had a lot of fun going for maximum pink, though I think I need to come back and finish this since I ended up frying my brain a bit. The hallmark of a good puzzle game!

Great retro style game! It brings back the fun simplicity of the NES days.

It took me a few moments to realize the loop was that I need to kill some plants off to create ones in the correct spot but once I figured that out the entire puzzle aspect came into focus and everything clicked for me!
