Cool Game but kinda basic and lacking in some areas, overall I enjoyed it though as a plants vs zombies twist

Submitted

Cool game, drawing was hard but i ate the brains.

With my attention span i got bored of drawing so umm... but yeah still a great game!

Such a cool idea! Although I'd like to be able to see the garden and draw at the same time. Thanks for jamming with us :)

Interesting concept with the drawing, I wish there were more drawing patterns so it's not that repetitive. For a jam its good, but if you want to add more stuff then my personal idea would be making it more fast-paced where you have to quickly spawn zombies in multiple lanes byt drawing various symbols, maybe you can spam easy ones and get common zombies or you can try more complex pattern that requires precision but also more time and get some special one.

Cool spin on the plants vs zombies gameplay loop. It would have been nice to see the zombie's fighting the plants while I draw the star. The mechanic of having to draw an accurate start is really cool. Nice work!

Pretty basic, but that makes sense for the time frame. I sense that you’re expected to have way less shaky hands than I do. I didn’t realize at first that dead zombies block bullets, so once I figured that out, it was pretty easy. Interesting inversion even though I guess I realize I suck at drawing stars fast lol

This is a cool idea. good job! I do like the drawing aspect and i could see alot of opportunity for more features and content in this game for continuned development.

I like the idea. I think the game would benefit from more interesting decisions. Right now, there is no benefit to placing your zombies in different lanes. Maybe add more zombies or plants that encourage that.

The idea of the game is interesting, but I was playing it couple errors like the mana bar covers the garden button, my zombies got killed right away and I can't remove them it doesn't allow me to enjoy the game

Submitted

I put a zombie and it gets killed right away, but if I put it aside, I can't create a new one. In general, the idea is interesting, it's sad I couldn't enjoy it.
