Cool tower defense!

A shame that there are no prices displayed for plant upgrades so I personally ended up spam-clicking upgrade in hopes of having enough purple thingy for the purchase. Speaking of plant upgrades: they are interesting, but I don't really see any use of them besides the ones that give regeneration and ability to shoot. As for root upgrade I think it should be the last one considering how much flexibility it gives (but its soooo cool, never have I seen a tower defense where you can chain the tower to your back xd)

The game is very confusing at the beginning tho, would be good to let the player read the introduction in peace before spawning monsters. Also music doesn't loop and just ends at some point which is sad.

Nice game! Maybe consider using different sound for plant attacks and enemies attacks because it gets confusing while playing xD

Overall, really nice entry!

a very cool idea and a good implementation. The gameplay is exciting and fun. It's a pity that there is no variety of enemies, there is only one, and after 3-5 minutes, he no longer provide competition

I had fun!  It was cool to have the plants follow you and it was fun to go around blasting stuff.  I surmised the upgrades ha a cost per tier, it was 1-3-5-10, then i wasnt patient enough to get to the top tier because enemies were so sparse.  So echoing what others said I just want more stuff to shoot!  Thats a great problem to have though because it means it was fun!  Nice work!

How do you pay for plants upgrade? I don't see a cost anywhere, but I couldn't buy upgrades after a while. I thought it was the purple stuff the enemies leave behind, but it's unclear.

As arthur said, multiple waves of more enemies would have been very satisfying to fight late game! The controls were fantastic and I enjoyed the simplicity of it.

Really enjoyed this game! At some point as I got more upgrades I felt like I was hunting around looking for enemies, maybe it would be nice to have enemies grow stronger or spawn more frequently as the player progresses. Nice job!
