Underbelt by SoelxtheDM
Hey Everyone! Alex here, second game ever built and about 60days into my game dev journey.
Underbelt was supposed to be an Overwatch parody that the characters would spam 'I need healing' and you'd have to heal them, but landed on watering plants to survive the deterrents.
How To Play: Select a flower that is in need of some water/health, and push one of the water buttons. You're up against some of the most harmful things to plants, so be prepared... Good Luck!
All feedback is welcome, even if you have code preferences let me know and point me to the better ways. I learned so much from this game alone that I'll be making my own feedback and things I would have done differently; and I'll add any comments into the mix so I can reference it next time :)
I built this game all on my own with some ideas from my friends. This was my first time making the artwork in addition to the rest of the game.

It was genuinely fun though once I understood how to play! I couldn't get past the lawnmower but it was fun trying. I really liked the boss music! Super funny.
(I also couldn't get my LD page to load my game but it worked fine on itch!)
The art is cool, as is the soundtrack + SFX.
I'd probably recommend looking at ways you could improve usability for future projects- things like an indicator as to which plant you currently have selected and keybindings to switch plants and use abilities would have been nice QoL improvements. Possibly also worth adding a delay before the first attack happens? The lawnmower level can be pretty cruel if it 2-shots on of your plants before you even know what's going on.
I hope you keep on making more games! :)
And also maybe we should have less water !
But you made a nice little game good job !
