I have reached nirvana... I am effectively immortal. I cannot end the game for my charges have become infinite. I have achieved everything. In a state where I cannot die and the only goal is null, what is my purpose?

Peak game!

The ads and popups are really amazing. Had so many laughs. Generally all around very creative and cool.

This is a great concept, and really polished too! i only wish that money generation got a bit faster as you got further into the game, as after i unlocked all the upgrades sitting around to go for the cosmetics felt too tedious, tho i suppose that's the point~ really well executed!

While I enjoyed this game I wished it would instill a bit more.... stress into its players. Waiting for money to accumulate is a drag in the beginning and as such feels a bit boring if it weren't for the hilarious popups. I think my favorite is the snail one! :D

Overall a game I will def give a good rating tho! Very fun ♥

Developer

Originally there was a lot more stress to the game, but I wanted to keep it a slow experience on purpose. My friends kept suggesting an "Expert" mode, where the plant dies a lot faster and the ads would spam. You'd get viruses that required specific conditions, etc. but I didn't have the time for it. I think another reason I didn't do this was there were some issues with windows causing dead zones which made it frustrating to try to navigate a surplus of windows. In a calm game, this can be worked around. In a stressful environment, there can be a lot of annoyance to the irresponsiveness of the windows.

Ohhhh, I get where you're coming from now! You've done incredible work regardless of my silly little opinion. Thanks for making it for us to play :D

A unique and fun take of idle game,. It has alot of funny ads, I like the genius ads where X is place elsewhere. Game is fun up to a certain point, where plants is self sustained, then its more to saving up money to buy extra items like Cosmetics. The grind for money is really slow, but I was able to get the trophy in the end!!!

I think there's some bugs, where some ads took a few time pressing X to close, and also when windows overlap, sometimes it cant detect windows that are placed behind it.


Developer

The ads requiring multiple clicks to close was intentional! But yes I noticed sometimes windows overlapping would cause issues. I tried looking into it but wasn't able to figure out a fix. 

Submitted

ohhh, then i think some visual or sfx feedback to player will be great to show that ads refused to closed. Like deny shake or wrong buzzer sfx.

So impressed that this was created in only two weeks. This was such a funny concept and I loved all the ads received, so glad to be a part of the spaghetti army. Super cool take on the theme!

Submitted

DOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOD this game made me laugh, this was so well done and genuinely fun to play! I wanted to grow a glowtato so badly and I WON'T STOP UNTIL I FINALLY DO! The ads were amazing and I loved the little tasks that were set out for us to solve - so so clever. This game SLAPS I am obsessed A+++++++++ U WIN SCHOOL OF LIFE

PLEASE MY BROTHER IN HORSE CHRIST TELL ME HOW TO GET THE FREE HORSES

By far the funniest game here in this jam. All the popup ads are definitely on point with how absurdly weird they are. I also love the title of the game, it's perfect.

Really fun stuff! The gameplay hooks you in, but the pop-up ads are what got me laughing. The whole project has such a great ironic vibe. Well done!

Submitted

Funny game :) I had a good time playing! I think it would be nice if the plant grew more, and maybe if there were some high-value challenges later on to provide some variety? Blubby 4Eva!

Submitted

Very engaging and fun! The ads have so much personality lol.
I'd love to see a more in depth progression system if you plan on working on it. Overall super fun tho, nice work!

Submitted

Very fun, I wish there were more ways to make money lategame though, I didn't get all the cosmetics because it was just waiting for crops.

Submitted

Charming and actually engaging, love this

Submitted

Quite addictive and loved all the satirical elements lol, ended up playing for quite a while. The pastel aesthetic is nice to look at, but I would have liked to see the plant grow a bit more dramatically. Very fun take on the theme, thanks for sharing your game!

Submitted

Best take on the theme?
Game is also very satisfying to play (despite the ads, who knew seeing ads could be fun?)

Submitted

10/10 would sacrifice myself to our plant-AI-overlords. 

Amazing spin on the theme, and actually very engaging. The gameplay loop overall is pretty simple (after getting to the high value crops and upgrades, it's near self-sustaining), but it's fun nonetheless, and a lot of variety in the ads and pop-ups.

I heckin' love ads.


Submitted

ADHD moment. That's very cool : }

Submitted

Great intepretation of the theme. Really fun doing stuff like killing all the ads and teach AI how to be our new overlord. I played until I unlocked all upgrade and got a cosmetic.

Submitted
