Super awesome game I would probably spend far too long in if the difficulty was tweaked a bit higher for an out of jam version. Very fertile ground for a longer campaign or tower defense. Had a blast. The charm of the presentation is hard to understate and I enjoyed myself thoroughly. :]

This game is fun. Very good presentation. Pretty challenging, i like the character designs. Especially the frog. Great game!
This was really well put together and felt super polished. I liked the balance of deciding how much to plant vs how much you think you can take on. The pumpkin boss was a great way to end it, too. Super fun game!
Really fun from start to finish! Felt very polished for a jam game, this was a great entry :)
Really fun gardening/fps/tower defense mashup! Great art and music as well! I built so many turrets game started lagging a lot lol.
Good stuff! Great trope subversion done in a satisfying way. The way you can build up your own challenge to suit your needs is mechanically interesting, and the payoff is engaging enough that it keeps players invested in the game loop. While the game works great in a small package, this concept could definitely be expanded to great effect. Great work, and I hope you all keep working on it!
Wow, this game is fun! The game loop has that insanely addictive feeling. I kept wanting to play past the end game. This game oozes potential!! Setting traps and being the architect of the battlefield is a lot of fun. I was left wanting for a way to attack the tubers when they're underground more effectively (like a trap that forces them to the surface). The formula is solid. I can definitely see this expanding into one of those "Overwhelmingly Positive" cult games! Amazing work!
I loved it! The gameplay was really addicting and I kept playing till I finished. It had a great sense of progression for a jam game. The sound effects and gunplay were actually quite robust for a game that looks like a cute farming sim or Minecraft style.
Best jam game i played so far! Artsyle was amazing , upgrades and smoothnes was on point. I was selling eggplants and making an automated farm and wanted to try that pumpkin and i was shocked once it started the harvest mode and ended , i was upset that it ended to be honest because it was so much fun to kill eggplants with traps and auto guns lol. Great job guys much love and respect!
This was wonderfully done! Having a cozy farming sim turn into a first person shooter got me hooked right off the bat in the beginning. The upgrades and systems were fun to work through and I had a lot of fun with this game. Great work!
This was an absolute blast, I got instantly hooked on finding out what the new plants would do and seeing how I could best setup my garden to handle the different phases. I really liked the progression in this game with the skills, weapons, and traps all coming together until at the end you feel quite powerful!
I also totally didn't read so that little surprise at the end completely took me by surprise haha. Excellent entry!
Thanks for rating //roboMODE. Yes, the idea of a theme that is developed/varied works for the purpose of unity and mood building. And congratulations for Big Trouble in Little Garden, a catchy title and funny and very curious concept! I laughed a lot (Mother Earth thanks your for yourr sacrifice). I loved the idea of your music, super relaxing X motivating in harvest mode! A game that surprised me! Good lucky for you guys!
Really liked the variation in enemies, weapons and traps, and the overall aesthetic of the game. Upgrading between rounds was a nice touch. Good job!
