Say Aloe To My Little Friend by boyTurnedRobot
So, it comes down to you and the last plant on Earth. An Aloe plant. A plant of life. Too bad wasteland raiders want to destroy it. Protect your plant from the terrible outlaws by using your garden shears to show them whose the boss. Don't forget your water hose. The plant will die in the sun, so keep it refreshed with water, and maybe use some of that water to slow your enemies. Run to the fire hydrants to refill your water tank when you run low. And don't worry about dying, the raiders aren't interested in you, only your plant.
WASD to move, LMB to use your Garden Shears, HOLD RMB to use your hose. TAP Space Bar to pump a hydrant.
4/20 Uploaded a new version that removed a game breaking bug and adjusted some UI that would occasionally block the shop. Updated the distance text so that it could still be read after butchering tons of enemies. Fixed some math that was causing inconsistent damage and regeneration numbers.
4/26 Fixed the game's music where the bass track was muted. Adjusted some number to make the game a little easier in regards to plant decay. Enemies are slightly faster to compensate. Attacking now required clicking the mouse button instead of holding it down. Added a quick tutorial.

The concept is simple but works well!
The art and the music are good!
The game is maybe a bit too gore for me, but that's not a bad thing x3
Overall, nive game, well done!
The killing sfx could have been juicier.
When the whole screen is covered in guts, it's hard to see the enemy distance markers due to the color.
The game needs better balance. I felt it was too easy because I became over powered too quickly with upgrades. I maxed out my shears as quick as possible and only rarely needed to worry about water management.
There was also a glitch around level 19 that allowed me to spend coins that I did not have.
Seriousy... amazing stuff here.
It took me a while to figure out how to use the shears (I intuitively tried to spam left click which did not go well for me or my little friend) but once I did the extreme splatter violence was a hilarious surprise.
Only I did not understand why people hunt aloe? I would put bugs or worms instead of people ;D
Congratulations for the game!
After buying all the available options, the enemies simply did not stop even in the day exchange. Sometimes the day started with them already attacking my friend Aloe. ): I just didn't understand it. But that’s okay it’s a great game and I liked the idea. Great job!
