Plant Maker DX by doos

made by doos for LD34 (JAM)

This is just a sandbox to build plants.. It was supposed to be tower defense, but apart from poisoning the ants with apples, there isn't much to do but build plants, sorry!

Click the buds, then click the part you want to build on the right hand side. Keep buds so you can build more.

I did music, but I didn't find the music code in time.

not a game but pretty nice... surely you can still pick up the tower defence concept

Like you said, not really a game, but I liked it anyway, I like way you made the branching work, it's a cool concept :)

More of a simulation than a game but yeh time is never on our side. Good effort though.

Interesting concept worth developping more.

I kept on wanting to interact with the animals. I think that there is a game here if you have some flowers attract some kinds of animals, and then other to interact with them, as well as the interaction that those animals could have with each other.
This is one that I would like to see you do something with beyond the jam. Good work.

Cool sandbox game. The graphics are cool but the interaction with the plant feels a little clunky.
