We're very sorry for inconvenience and hope players from now on will enjoy the game experience)
The big issue for me is the fact that the background is plain, I wasn't really sure if I was moving or not.
Will give this a proper test now and update my review. :sweat_smile:

I got far enough that I think I have a good idea of how things work now:

Most of the problems I see with the game come down to either balance or usability.
On the balance side:
- The pistol and SMG seem useless when there is plentiful ammo for the gatling gun. I'm guessing there's a missing upgrade system where you spend coins to buy better weapons? Still, adding some weapon variety might be nice.
- Once I had about 4 tower plants it seemed like I didn't really need to help fighting enemies, so the game was very easy.
On the usability side:
- Make it obvious that I can punch. Make it the first weapon slot, with an icon.
- Gathering stuff from plants is tedious and awkward, because E is right next to WASD - maybe punching plants to make them drop stuff would be a nicer experience. An upgrade that gives that an area-of-effect would be nice too to speed up harvesting later in the game.
As the Videogamester said, this is a very promising entry - I just got very frustrated trying to figure out how to play it.
