Very nice game. Really liked the concept as well. Can be built into a full game. Once I reach the nest, the frequency of enemies popping increased significantly which surprised me. Great job.
Nice and cute game with lovely graphics.
It would be better to play only with the mouse and move the screen by moving the mouse to the edges or by middle-click-dragging, rather than using keys. I tried the controller for that, but there's no dead zone, and it's useless anyway.
The music is well written and very well played, but it is more relaxing than dynamic. It would better match a game with a slower pace, or be used only for quiet moments like the title screen or the preparation.
Pleasing to play anyway.
Prop hunt! Always a fun time! Nicely done
They game feels very good. Very satisfying to play. Would love to be able to place multiple plants of the same type without having to re click the plant again at the top.
The game feels very good. I see it having success after the jam, too. From art to music and gameplay, everything fits together perfectly.
Very well done game. I made it up to the coconut level. then I believe it became very difficult. But the concept is great, the art is cute. Everything looked very balanced and I liked the description for each plant. It was really enjoyable to play, many levels, new enemies, new plant.. Very refreshing gameplay. The only issues I had was at some point it wasn't let me place energy plants, like I reached a cap or something and when I had my shooting plant selected before I even decide where to place the "ghost" version of my plant was shooting enemies and enemies were attacking to it and could kill it. And as far as I know I didn't get charged for the cost because i didn't plant it yet.
Overall it was a great experience playing the game. Excellent works. Congrats!
love the game design and love that soundtrack a whole lot, very well done! thank you
I had an intuition you would make a good game, but I didnt expect it to be that amazing. You hit in what I like, survival + base building game. Thats why I prefer this over plant vs zombie, you are free to make your own layout, and sometime, that makes you fail.
Perfect games here, I absolutely love it.
Yes I did lose because I didnt know I had to expand my base to attack the enemy XD A teaching loss that was.
Makes me so happy that you had fun. :) Thank you so much for the kind words :) and thank you so much for playing.
The strategy aspect of this was quite clever, one resource replenishes one has to be manually upgraded, and the building area needs to be expanded. All of these feed into eachother is working pretty well. The sound effects are cute. The plant designs are quite interesting, a little reminiscent of Plants vs Zombies.
There are minor bugs (pun intended) which affects the gameplay, but some are annoying (like cannot place tile sometimes on valid places or selection stuck) others are helpful even (the building can be attacked by bugs as decoy before placement, or shooters shoot even without placed).
Very well made overall, and the aesthetics is great!
Thank you for playing my "Buggy" game :D But in honesty. This game is very buggy and could use some bug fixes.
The game looks good but I do not understand how to play it, is it a tower defense?
Yes, it is a tower defence game :) I am sorry it was confusing
No worries at all, I think the aesthetics are awesome tbh, maybe it needs a bit of tutorial too
Very nice game ! The mechanics are a bit confusing in the beginning, a short tutorial would have been great. Once you understand the basics, it becomes really fun :) It’s very impressive how much content you managed to create during the jam. Hats off to you!
I was totally skipping much-needed sleep :D But I'm glad I did. Is that unhealthy? XD ehhhhh thank you for playing.
Nice game, I enjoyed playing it, The art is impressive and the music is really fitting and very well done. Needs more enemy variety and the enemies come in only from one direction, changing that would balance the gameplay imo, as after a certain time, The player becomes overpowered. Good work on this.
The game can definitely benefit from some more smart AI. Thank you for the feedback :D
I like the graphics of your game. The concept is great. Music works well. You killed it on your itch page, that looks great! I had a little trouble figuring out how to destroy the nests. Well done!
Yeah, the corn turret doesn't have much range. I can see that you got confused. My bad. Thank you for playing :D
Very nice vie to the game. loved the aesthetics. <3
Fun concept! I think it would be to nice to have a note of what each plant does in the game like in the pause menu or when you hover over it so its easier to pick up when you just start playing. Good mechanics though!
Thank you so much. Yeah, the game is a massive information dump in the beginning :D
This is fun and relaxing to play. Nicely done. I need to try something more in this style myself
Thank you so much. Yeah, it was quite the challenge. First time making a tower defence game myself.
The mechanics and growth of your base is actually really fun and satisfying and a great idea. I could see myself playing this for a long time and forever expanding. It perfectly blends a way of tower defense and base building and that sense of progression all at the same time
Thank you so much. Glad you had fun :D
This game is honestly amazing. I ended up spending way more time playing than I expected because the gameplay loop is super addictive!
I absolutely loved the concept. It gave me a bit of a Plants vs Zombies feeling at first, but it still has its own identity with the whole “connected garden” mechanic and the way you expand/build your plant network while defending against the bugs.
Unlocking new plants was really satisfying, and every new mechanic made me want to keep playing “just one more round”. The pacing felt really good once I understood the systems.
Also, huge compliments to both of you: the pixel art is super charming and the music completely nailed the cozy vibe. The guitar tracks especially were so relaxing while playing.
Seriously great job on this one. I could easily see myself spending hours playing a more expanded version of it!
Thank yous soooooooooooo much :) It makes me so happy that you had fun. Yess plants vs Zombies was definitely an inspiration :D I'm just glad it turned out a bit different :)
You're very welcome!
Honestly, I think taking inspiration from Plants vs Zombies was a great choice. The game definitely reminded me of it at first, but it quickly showed its own personality and mechanics.
I had a great time playing it and I'd love to see where you take the idea in the future. Wishing both of you the best with the project!
A nice game. I like the mechanic of using a plant to expand the area you can plant.
Thank you so much :)
Played your game and love the cosy vibe the music gives, your friend did a really great job on it :)
Took me a bit to get the hang of the mechanics and to understand what each plant does but overall it was very good and absolutely loved the plants and their sprites.
Really love the cosy vibe the music gives, your friend did a really great job on it!!!
Thank you. I am glad you enjoyed it :) Yes, he did do an amazing job with the music :D Thank you so much for the feedback!
