I did genuinely feel like I was in hell. It's difficult! Well done

Love the artstyle, good job on that! Also the gameplayhook was amusing, but maybe a little hard at start as @cheesepencil said. But other than that, great job!

It's pretty difficult! I would wish for the difference between enemies and projectiles to be a bit larger. Spent my first run shooting at bullets in vain, before I found out those were not enemies and I should aim at somewhere else, then it became fun!

@toasteater Yeah I got the same feedback from my friends but unfortunately it was to late to change that ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Very difficult to begin with - I had no idea what was going on... Eventually though it turned out to be a fun little game where I was planting mutliple seeds at once to see how high a score I could get. It would be interesting to see if the plants did different things - certainly a game worth taking forward. Great entry!

Took a little bit to get the hook of the game, but once I did the concept behind this could easily be a full blown game that I'd love to play. I really appreciate game jam games that are bursting with possibilities and this is one of them.

Got to 25 health, after multiple attempts. One of the better games I've played this jam. Simple and engaging, with several phases! Really good job.

A great take on the theme! Having to balance between planting, or rather 'investing' your health for later, and having a health bar was a tough, yet rewarding job. It was a choice between either having riskier early levels, or virtually impossible later levels! My only criticism would be with the fact that nothing's stopping you from accidentally planting too much of your health within the planting stage; on more than one occasion I ended up accidentally killing myself because of pressing space once too many times. But that is just a small criticism, overall I very much enjoyed playing your game!

This a very unique idea! I like the graphical style you had going and the gameplay was very interesting and creative. i like the premise of growing flowers with your life in order to get more and fighting waves of enemies while you wait for them to grow. Nice entry!

Pretty game. It would be better without the auto fire (you can't aim at enemies). The collision detect is a little to hard for the player. Thank you for your game!

As many pointed out is really hard, but is quite fun too.

Very fun game, I also think I would prefer being able to shoot manually rather than having auto fire.
