I loved the colorful art and the overall idea.
This absolutely needs some nice sounds!
Thanks for your work :)
Had fun playing, however those dirty ratberries were just too fast for me. :( I did not do very well, my best was something like a minute and a half. :D
I feel like the controls could use a little more polishing, often enough I wasn't able to plant a melon or create a tower (probably started pressing shift too early or something?).
Overall a really nice entry, some sound would have been great to round off the experience, but it's still a fun game. :)

Hovering your mouse arrow over the empty starts; you will see they fills as you move back and forth
Let me know if you find it ^_^
P.S. It took me a while to accustomed how Shift button works.
It took me some time to get accustomed to controls.
And there are some strange shadows in game scene.
Movement feels a bit to slow to get a good shot in. A bit unclear that converting all your watermelon patches to towers makes you lose. But other than that, cool idea, the models are the best part.
Here is our game if you want to try it!
