PROTECTOBOTANY by ctran13

[raw]
made by ctran13 for Ludum Dare 46 (JAM)

Keeping your plant alive would be easier if it wasn't trying to kill you.

EDIT: For those who are saying it's easy to get to the high triple digits, my high score currently stands at just over 20k :smiley:

Good idea! The game stuck to the game jam theme well. I think there is a bug because the best strategy was go to the plant and spray it as much as you can even though the plant will kill you. Doing this strategy I got upper 600s in 2 tries. Doing this strategy also will make the game a point clicker game.

Thanks for the game :) I knew that planting is a dangerous business. Wish you the best of luck!

Theres been quite a few plant watering games, but I think this is the first one where the plant has fought back haha! I like it a lot, I love games that use 2d assets in 3d space, and ofcourse you get a plus for programming, drawing and composing by yourself. Good job!

Nice concept, fits the theme quite well.
Not sure if its a input problem on my end, but the char just constantly was spraying water, which made getting a 6 digit score pretty easy.
Art and sound are cool, but i think the gameplay could use a bit more variation or some kind of progression system.

Nice concept, played it quite a bit. I found that there wasn't much progression which made it fun for a little while. But really nice animations and the character graphics were great :)

Nice concept :) pretty fun game. Would be nice if player had some more options/weapons like bug sprayer etc. But overall very nice. I liked the music, pretty catchy and nice :)

Fun idea, you could expand on it easily by adding more stages to the plant's attacks. Love the art too, what's there anyway.

Really tough game, but maybe that's because sometimes the plant is ahead / above me but I have to turn sideways to spray it (some of the angles are non-intuitive). Interesting concept though!

awesome that you used 2d graphics in a 3d ambient, a suggestion: the plant could have a bite attack when you are to close
