Mad Sorcerer's Garden by AsgardHeavy
Protect the Tree of Immortality with a garden of malevolent plants and an army of the newly dead.
First GameJam -- turns out I REALLY underestimated how much time it takes to make even decent Art, let alone good Art. Also, UI is the worst. Game is MVP -- there were some neat things I coded that I didn't have enough time to implement the assets for in even a stub form, which is a bummer. Still, I had a blast putting it together!
Hope you enjoy for approximately... oh... 2 minutes.

Love the concept; theme was spot on.
I think there's a lot of potential here, just wish it was longer!
I totally agree, game jam art is hard, but I think you did really well given the time constraints, especially for your first jam. I liked the concept and the sound effects were a really nice touch.
This is my second compo and time is always hard to manage. Congratz on getting such a neat result on your first compo ! If you want to avoid having unusable features due to missing art maybe include art in your MVP mindset and use placeholder minimal art :wink:. But then you'll probably end up with only your bad placeholder art like me :laughing:
I enjoyed your original take on the TowerDefense genre, I liked the plants growing and withering : that was pretty cool.
Also I only noticed that you had 2 ressources "seeds" and "magic" and it was not the quantity of each spells I could cast :p
Don't bash yourself for the art, it's pretty clear and more that enough ! :D
Well done for your very first entry !
We both know with more time in the oven it could be cooler but I enjoyed the two minutes I spent with it.
But Great game Congratulations!
