Haha, Love this idea, proper Speccy style game.

Developer

Thanks! Glad it raised a smile!

Great concept, made me laugh and was fun to try. Got to level 3 but one life is harsh!  Looking forward to the sequal!

Developer

Glad it made you laugh! I did want to add lives and more levels but I ran out of time! I have some ideas for the sequel that will reduce the harshness and expand the plant watering abilities! 😉

Enjoyed playing it, funny idea. Reminded me of Automata's Piman. Peemania ?  :)

Developer

Thanks a lot! Ha! Peemania! I love it!

Fun game, funny idea too loved it, 1 life seems bit mean but I did see the other comment, it would be nice to be able to stun the baddies with a little tinkle, not seen much because its tricky but going to keep trying because its a fun idea.  

Developer(+1)

Thanks! Yeah, I ran out of time for additional features but I love the stun idea! Maybe I’ll do this for Hosepipe Ban 2: Pee Patrol! 😂

Don't forget, the game development doesn't have to end just because the jam has ended. The votes will be based on the status as submitted, but after the voting is done (1 week), you can come back and continue to work on the game, there doesn't have to be a version 2. I've done that with some of my past jam entries, come back and improved on them after the jam has ended.

Ok, that might actually be a good idea because I would like to add a couple of things that I didn't have time to include. I'll maybe revisit in a week or two!

Great fun, very reminiscent of Speccy games back in the day. Love the graphics. But 1 life? Seriously?!?  That's harsh :-)

Developer(+1)

Haha! Thanks!

Yes, I considered more lives and more levels but I was running out of time so had to abandon the idea! 😂
