I just rated it <3
I would have liked to be able to choose the direction I was going to throw the plants to make it a little easier to get them killed - as I had a lot of trouble getting the evil plants in the volcano. :)
I only destroyed 3 trees, but this was funny to play :)
It would be really nice, if you tried out our own game and left some feedback :)

It could be nice if the player could handle better the trajectory of the trees when he takes it out.
For anyone interested: To aim a shot you have to stand at a specific location relative to the pulled tree. If you stand on the far right side of the tree, then you will pull and throw it in a flat angle to the right. Standing in the middle of a tree will throw it in a high angle upward and so on.

It wasn't very easy to get into game – it took me a while until I realized how to aim and that there are flowers too. But the combination of beautiful visual, pleasant music and nice theme didn't let me to leave the game until I got beneath the surface of complex mechanics as well :slight_smile:
The controls are weird and not enough explained. I tried to figure them out, but they still seem pretty random. I thougt the tree is going to be thrown behind my back, but sometimes it didn't. And the angle seems random too.
The game doesn't have a winning condition, right? So the goal is to have a nice relaxing experience. Which I had. Thank you :)
