I don't quite understand whether there is a way to tell if what you pick up is going to be a vegetable or if it's pure chance.

The graphics and sounds were nice :)

Seems to be complete chance whether you win or not.

@ninjacharlie It's complete chance weather you win or not. So you never know if you're gonna win or not. @Miltoast that's not a tapeworm lol, That's a grub, I would't recommend you to google that lol!

More akin to rolling dice or flipping coins than playing a game since there was no way to tell whether a plot would hold a snake or a vegetable :)

@Cake&Code that's true, but don't tell that to Two Face ;)

This is a fun game, albeit a bit short :P
It feels a bit like gambling, so naturally, I had to keep playing until I'd won at least once :D

I like the pixel art and sounds, gameplay wise I think it needed to be more than just pure luck/chance. Maybe by including a tell in plant itself? Or a way to see the snake/worm things move from plant to plant under the dirt (so it becomes like a cup and ball trick). Pretty cool though

It was a bit short, but nice pixel art and i love the music, hehe :)
It would be nice if the music were a bit longer and not repeat itself so fast, but good choice for the mood!

Plays more like a scratch card than Minesweeper. If you could somehow subtly tip the player off to which have snakes it would be great.

It seemed random where the veggies/fruits were, but still I enjoyed it. Nice presentation! Grubs are nasty little buggers.

I didn't like when the win condition is decided by a simple probability of luck. Btw, nice music. :)

I like the graphics and sound but the gameplay seems to be just a lottery...

This is just a simple gambling game with a nice background tune ;)
