Sounds like a good idea because it removes the \"quick action\" parts of the game, which could be unnecessary in a game like this.

It was quite difficult however, to difficult I think. The grass was very expensive and I didn't finish the first level even after some tries. Maybe it should start a bit easier. I did enjoy myself but in the end it was a bit frustrating because I didn't know how to get a good strategy because the lnd dries out really fast. If you make the first level a bit easier the player gets some time to get to know the game and understand what happens. Also for me it was relaxing but for it to be  fun it should have a bit more going for it, different plants, ... but that's difficult off course during a jam.
