- GROWTH COMPLETED -> Fires a projectile to attack zombies in range.
- HARVESTED -> Fires a projectile in the direction you are facing.
Ivy
- GROWTH COMPLETED -> Binds zombies in the surrounding area so they cannot move for a while.
- HARVESTED -> Fires vines that bind zombies around the player. And, increases the player's max HP.

Map Water can be obtained from pools throughout the map. Day and night exist, and at night the field of vision narrows and plants can't growing automatically.
Good Luck!

I really enjoyed the audio.
I felt like I never got a chance to tend to the plants once enough zombies were spawning - I could never stop running from the zombies.
edit: I should have read the instructions more carefully :)
thanks to play our game!
We have plans to add more plant and plant-to-plant interactions.
But its fun and the pixel art is cute :)
Tho a bit of a changement in the GD : Growing automatically with light shouldn’t happen or should be wait longer. It is clearly too easy I just have to go grab a bit of water and then stands in my plants and have fun.
Tho, the graphics are more than enough, the sound is a bit horrible when lot of zombies die. The gameplay is simple but fun seriously, was running around trying to find some water and some zombies were slap the shit out of me.
Great job, GGs
The music was definitely a jam, and it feels like it fits well into the theme while being really moody in a cool way :)
Good work!
I think a tutorial would really help the player to ramp up, here, because it took me a long time for me to work out what was going on with the plant abilities. I was too focused on the middle of the screen to notice the fire meter building up, and I mistook the watermelon projectile initially for a bug.
I also agree with @profan that it would feel much better if you could slash in a different direction to where you're moving. Running back and forth _works_, but I would have felt cooler running circles around the zombies.
I like the art, sound and music! I didn't encounter any bugs and the controls were solid. Well done to the whole team!
