I like that the enemies could fill the screen with weeds really quickly so it actually mattered that you are efficient at clearing weeds.\n\nThe animations for planting and harvesting tiles were pretty slick.\n\nOne minor complaint is that the player and projectile are similar size with similar glow color so it can be easy to lose track of yourself.","format":"md","likes":2,"spam":"N"},{"id":930123,"author_name":"OadT","author_uid":"oadt","epoch":1674842327,"text":"Very cool and clean looking graphics.
