How to play

Choose one of the flowers and enter the arena. Try to kill all the enemies in the arena that come in three waves. If you die, you can choose from other flowers. Once you clear the arena, you go to the next one as long as you have some flowers left.

You have limited amount of seeds you can shoot. However, you can collect them where they landed and use them again.

A little bit of sound and it'd make this tons better! Some splats and zappy noises, or an explosion! It was fun and easy to play.

Nice game. Loved the choice between the different plants and their different ways of playing.
Didnt like that I had to get my ammo all the time, but its personal.
Would have loved to have some sound!

Super cute game. I like the variety in weapon choices. Controls and gameplay was smooth. I did get a seed stuck behind a bottle cap and was down an ammo for the rest of the round though.

I think the game was pretty good. I liked having the choice of the 3 characters and the gameplay itself was fun. The enemy AI seemed really janky, the small ones seemed to walk around in single file all the time and the bigger enemies just stood still. I also wish that there was at least some sound. Overall it was pretty good.

This was interesting! Some audio feedback and recoil would go miles in here. I found I eventually got overrun stuck in one direction, which felt like it was bound to happen. Good job otherwise!

It's a nice shooter, but really the lack of sound is annoying. even mouth noises did the job !

This game really missed some audio, but otherwise I enjoyed it. The poison felt to me the strongest of the three and was my favourite to use!

The game controls well. I liked the variety of enemies, though it would have been more interesting for them to have different behavior besides homing at you. Electric vegenant seemed a bit weak. And yeah, as others have suggested, having audio feedback would make a huge difference here. Good ideas and unique style; keep improving!

Pretty good game ! The weapons feel very different, the controls feel good, the enemies are recognisable and they have interesting patterns. As many people said before, some sound effects would have been better, but its already a pretty good entry !
