The Botanist by Tezza48
They love the plants. The plants are their defender.
They must feed the plants to prevent their own ingestion.
Don't get eaten by the monsters. Plants eat the monsters. Fed plants are useful.

And then the boss got me!
The art style was super nice, and I loved the look of the giant crab. Good work :)
Just a small thing that bothered me: the character doesn't move exactly on the grid, and it makes the hitbox unpredictable, which hurts the experience.
Maybe by adding some action when certain type of mob are eaten by plants ?
Great graphics.
The arrow keys for sure, I use a keyboard without them so forget to add them.
I wanted the players to figure out what to do organically which it seems everyone has. I'm glad that you and the other players kept at it to figure out what the goal was.
