Love the game! I used to play Super Crate Box all the time back in college, and I think you've replicated that fast, fun atmosphere very well!

@niterich Thanks! Super Crate Box was definitely the inspiration for this one. I'm glad you enjoyed it!

Cute spin on crate box to fit the theme :D I really like that it doubles as a defense game. The fixed location of the pots, however, allows you to just camp and defend one of the side ones, only going out to grab nearby seeds/water. Some additional mechanic preventing using the same pot twice in a row, or enemy variety to make the side pots less safe, might help address that. Great work regardless! :)

The art is simple, but it compensates with a really fun gameplay! Well done!

Nice, crunchy, and old school. I love it. Unique enough and familiar enough, it's right in the sweet spot

I am really bad at this game, but I can't say it not well made. And I did have fun trying it. Great visuals, and I liked the music. Well done.

Solid little game, I like the idea and it encourages you to get greedy and take hits

Very nice game ! Reminds of one of the unity tutorials ^-^ I love the pacing, high energy and I'm a sucker for pixel art. Overall a great entry, well done.

A fun simple fast-paced little shooter game that aligns nicely with the theme. Rocket launcher!

Loved this!! Really fun shooter, and powering up seeds to get power ups (and the enemies munching the plants) was a cool idea. The power ups were interesting too. Great game!

Love the concept, solid all around. Cute art, nice effects, and fun variety of weapons. Quite challenging!

Would want it to be a bit faster movement-wise to really feel that high pace. Could use either more snappy movement or something like a dash in my opinion. Watching the enemy run towards your plant while you can't catch up feels rough. :)

Really fun entry though, great job!

Really great job on the effects and overall feel of the game! Everything feels really satisfying overall and the gun variety is really great.

Great little game. I love the cute little characters. The guns feel nice and powerful. The sounds feel a little generic. Good job overall.

Very arcadey and fun experience! For some reason my brain could never adapt to the X and C keys and i always hit the wrong one when under pressure (which was a LOT haha). I never worked so hard for each point, my high score was 2, and you know what? I am still proud of that! 😅
