Feedback on enemy attacks is quite lacking and the artstyle has some jarring disconnects, but this game's idea and concept is very well thought out and quite fleshed out; I was surprised at the amount of monster options to raise or shop items to buy! For something done in just 4 days, it feels really impressive.
So smooth and clean. Nice UI, Nice sounds, very fleshed out version of this idea.
I think I'd like some more visual feedback on enemy attacks, but other than that this is killer!
It was a great experience playing; I got completely lost in the game and was literally addicted. It felt pretty slow at first, but I just had to wait for it to get better—great work.
Thank you! Hope you didn’t get hooked too long, there’s lots to play!
Great concept! And the game is really fun and creative
Thanks! I’ve had the “leave me alone, I’m gardening horrors” idea in my head for a while, it was fun to have an excuse to try it.
This is great considering there was 4 days to work on the jam! A lot of content for such little time! Really well made and I played it for a while. I do think the sprites for the minions stand out weirdly but its nothing crazy. Good job!
Thank you for the kind words! Easy to make lots of things when they’re all the same thing with different pictures on top 😁 A “real” release would need a pass on more consistent art for sure, but I’ve got no complains when people are putting up so much for free.
Really like the concept! I'm working on something similar for a side-project over the past few months :') I thought it was too easy, then I realised how squishy I was about halfway through and died! Obviously you're meant to focus on farming more undead rather than fight yourself haha.
Yeah, if I fiddle with this more I might give you just a few more HP. But you’ve got it easy, for the first few builds the archers’ arrows homed on you and hit every time 😆 Thank you for the kind words, and good luck with yours!
Homing arrows early on sounds brutal! Glad you changed it :')
one must cultivate one's own garden
Truer words.
Kadence looks up my ally, but I’ve got no windows box - have any plans for other builds?
I like the clash of a relaxing farm simulator, and a fighting game! I was getting stressed out when monsters try to take my minions!! I really like them :(. Fun game! (I kind of wished I could water my zombies while they grow for some reason LOL! Maybe future update?)
Haha, I love that mental picture. Off to find a watering can asset. Thank you for playing!
Commit war crimes against the local HOA
I’m sorry, the cost of war crimes will probably require a special assessment. You’ll have to raise it at the meeting in 4 months.
I really enjoyed this! It had a very satisfying day-night loop. Grow, feed, fight, grow, feed, fight--just like real gardening. Also, the opening scene is hilarious.
Thank you - we’re so happy you liked it! I’m glad the evil-superpower-stymied-by-paperwork trope has some life (or not) left in it.
