This crazy grandma... no matter how many weeds I take away it's never enough... 

Nice little entry, graphics are definitely the best aspect of the game.

Keep up the good work!

I love your art and BGM! The cute and silly style is amazing. Nice work! :D

Developer

Thanks! This was my first time using a new software for pixel art, so I didn't know if it was gonna turn out okay!

Fun chill game with nice pixel art! ended up playing several times, realizing I spent quite some time. It was slightly painful sometimes when the cursor got dragged to other weed and get interrupted midway, but other than that, nice sfx and great game!

I really like pulling weeds. But I feel like it was a metaphor for your wife. 

Developer

lol no. Thanks for playing!

I really liked the process and presentation of pulling up the weeds. As for feedback, I think it would be good to add encyclopedia-style descriptions for the weeds.

The twist with the dead husband was great! It's really hard to remember what all the weeds to, though :D

Nice cozy game. I got some issues with the weeds because sometimes the pull was interrupted by another ones growing, but overall great!

Developer

Thanks for the feedback! I originally wanted the player to grab onto overlapping weeds and throw them in groups but it didn't turn out perfect. I'll be sure to fix that in the future!

Super enjoyable!!! Creative idea and storyline too. Art was also super cute, I loved the googly eyes on the plants. It did feel a little rough around the edges, and the mouse cursor kept moving itself to plants I wasn't hovering on, but bugs are pretty standard in game jam games so thats normal. Upgrades were cool and I liked the music. Unfortunately, the game did end in a crash, it started spawning hundreds of weeds per second until my browser couldn't handle it anymore 😂 But good submission and I hope this places well!!

Sorry to hear that I thought I fixed that bug. Thanks for playing!

Super fun game! The idea fits the jam really well and also was really fun to play. The shop part of the game was a little buggy but outside of that I enjoyed it a lot!
