I would recomend to make it more challenging.

One thing that would make it cooler would be if the monsters had health bars or something, so that you can see how effectively you're hurting them.  Same goes for plants.  I assume your position matters, but some feedback showing your area of influence, or whatever, would've been good."},{"author_name":"tantumgames","author_uid":"60654","time":"Dec 17, 2015 @ 12:23am","epoch":1450311480,"text":"Good idea for theme.

Too bad that it lacks feedbacks\/depth to make it more enjoyable and understandable.
