Made it to day 6 or so? I enjoyed the music, the art, picking the cards between battles, and I found the coins very satisfying. Minor feedbacks? I think actually having to click on the coins would be a touch more satisfying. I love that the difficulty curve starts out quite easy (most game jam games start off way too hard). Anyway, nice idea, and well implemented with some good 'juice'. Well done!

It's quite a nice twist and it really makes you consider the consequences of your actions.\n\nI made it to stage 4 and lost because I wasn't sure where the enemies would be coming from (web version. there was definitely stuff happening slightly off screen) and the plants I placed as a defense where nowhere near the enemies.\"\n\nAll around, a very well made game.

For some reason tomatoes weren't available to me in the 2nd world (did I deactivate them somehow?) so I had no way to defend my wheat. But yeah, good tower defense idea that has a lot of potential for growth! I liked the audio variety between the menu, gameplay, and upgrade screens.

Seems to run very smoothly, although some content is incomplete. The level of polish is impressive, and it's clear this could be a very solid game given a little more development time. An options menu is always impressive in LD!\n\nIt seems quite easy - I haven't managed to come close to losing a round yet.\n\nArt is simple but effective. The banner image is great too! Music is also simple, but quite catchy.","format":"md","likes":3,"spam":"N"},{"id":914974,"author_name":"jitspoe","author_uid":"jitspoe","epoch":1673495046,"text":"Very polished entry!

I wanna buy more plants! I need more! Really well put-together, and with how the upgrades and space work in this game, I see it having potential to be more fun than pvz, which is extremely limited in its scope.

I really liked the aspect of protecting your wheat to spend between rounds -made progression really fun!  Ended up buying everything in the store lol (could not get the pumpkin to work btw) and was fun to read what the upgrades are going to be -some very cool ones in there!  The music was great!  The art was awesome -really had to have it full screen to appreciate some of the pixel work -like the cards looked amazing and even some of the ui touches like a gardening glove was great!  Really liked that you could pick up coins by hovering over them instead of clicking on them too.
