This was fun to play, but the mechanics were a bit off to me. Not a huge fan of the plants self-destructing after a period of time. Also, I put down the ice-looking 50 point plant and it didn't seem to do anything before poofing away, so that was weird. Visuals were great, and the music was awesome too. I feel like there needed to be more time to purchase plants at the beginning and a speed-up button at the end so I didn't have to wait as long as the bugs slowly marched past my failures lol

Also uhh... what was with that message at the end?

I had a lot of fun with your game. I really like Tower Defense, and didn't imagine for a second that it would be possible to make one in such a short time and with so many technical restrictions. However, yours works very well. I appreciated that the flowers are destroyed depending on their use: it brought a little more strategic to their placement on the field. Musically, it's the bomb, especially with the launch of the new wave. Absolutely nothing to complain about, the result is great!

Thank you so much for your feedback! Glad you enjoyed the game! 😉

The game looks really good. I wish there was an input delay because I kept returning to the menu every time I paused, or bought an item accidentally by holding A for too long.

It's a cute tower defence game ala Bloons, although I struggled to understand what each plant did. Would've been nice to skip to the next wave once I was finished setting up too.

Thanks for the entry and I look forward to what you do next.

Hey, thanks a lot for the feedback!

Let’s just say that the input delay adds to the challenge, right? Actually, I’ve never had this problem before. I think it depends on the machine you’re playing on (I’ll try to fix this for my next games!).

I’m currently in the middle of my studies, and when the game jam deadline was extended, I didn’t have the energy to get back to it. I think I would have reworked the game design if I hadn’t been so busy!

Thank you so much! :)
