But at least it looks nice and has fine music.
Pros:
+ The overall sprites are cool
+ The music loop is nice
To improve:
+ A tutorial level or description on the page describing the keys or how to play the game (e.i. the inputs)
+ (not sure, but) I think the bugs looks to have a different sprite colour pallet than the other elements in the game. I mean, the sprites doesnt look to be from the same game
I really wish I could play the game. Please! Fix it =D
But the graphics and the music are nice and calm :)
The music is great though !
I hope untill Friday i fix most of the problems.
But...
About the gameplay, as other already said, it's very cryptic. My own game suffers from same issue, as many others, so its normal in so little time frame.
I understand that you must stop bugs from eating your seed(?). And each "pulse" uses nutrition. But how I get new nutrition? Are there other functions the seed can perform?
Also, I failed to see the link with the theme.
Stage one, considering defense cooldown and ammo, appears to be too luck based as insect spawning seems completely random.
Stage two I somehow survive though really having next to no clue if I'm doing the right thing, stage three I'm clueless and just die. Which is annoying as I want to progress in this game and be a good plant.
With a bit more time spent on leading the player a bit and explaining the gameplay, I'm sure this could be a hit! Keep it up :D
