Reap What They Sow by RaggedyJam
Very simple game that took some inspiration from the old Intellivision game shark shark.
HINT:
To get started you will need to run off in any direction until you see some plants (they will not spawn unless you move far enough away) once some plants have spawned you will see them more often but still need to keep moving away (now from the place you were when they first spawned). So essentially if you want to see more of something you have to move far away.

In my opinion: Art is ok, sound is good, music is good enough for a short game. The gameplay is not as exciting as I first imagined. Cannot quite say why. Maybe it's a bit too static, as the world does not really interact with the player.
(Also got myself killed cause i got too careless after a bit xD)
Overall nice, *very fun and easy to pick up* entry! Good job, be proud of yourself for making a video game! :clap:
Hey guys Thanks for playing my game and giving me feedback I really enjoyed this jam and playing all your games. I had a fair bit of a challenge getting started and figuring out how to use the theme ended up just making random art then jumping in without much of a plan.
To clear up one of the biggest things that make the game less playable you need to move a certain distance away from where you start till plants start spawning which they do off screen. Things then just spawn randomly and radially around you off screen hay piles less then the plants (level design is one of my weakest points and I also rushed this part).
I still felt some things about this were quite cool in the end and I feel like it would be fun to work further on it.
One last thing here is a game that I thought was amazing and only needs a few more ratings
