Plenty of Plants is a roguelike gardenbuilder where you grow and deliver plants in exchange for water so you don't die of thirst.

The game draws a lot from my previous game, a roguelike deckbuilder called Luck be a Landlord.

I hope you like it!

I enjopyed the concept, but in practice the decision making felt like it came down to doing some mathematics about water rates. The plant abilities felt like they didn't matter much because you lose them after the delivery

Pretty fun little game! I was really happy to find what is effectively a clicker game - think they could be executed for this theme really cleanly, and you did it! Well done!

good idea expanded from lucky landlord, but will be better if add more exponential growth or combo.

Its the man, the myth, the legend. I have up until today 63 hours recorded in Luck be a Landlord, one of my fav games of all time.

The graphics are very basic and the ui is very similar to Luck be a Landlord. I like the gameplay loop, altough its as hard and unforgiving as your commercial game. Looking forward to see more of it. ![ld53-1.PNG](///raw/0b3/21/z/58933.png)

This game feels very polished and clean. The graphics are charming! It's enjoyable, but I wasn't sure what I was working toward.

It's promising game, if there was more polish to it.
A ream of tutorial text to start... well, that was click, click, click.
The biggest thing missing was something to focus your attention to during the game when there is no more to do. Like at the start, you have to click to progress, but no indicator that you need to click the clock.

I wasn't able to beat. I think that the mechanic is a little unintuitive and takes awhile to get but other than that your game was really fun nice job

Beat the game with 729/600! I almost wish the difficulty curve was harsher, and forced me to use the special effect type plants more often. I was able to survive much of the game on Sunflowers and Pumpkins. Otherwise it was a lot of fun trying out different plants and seeing how they worked together.

Very nice little game! Also would have worked very well with last times "harvest" theme ;)

I only got the rare tulip so I'm very curious to know what the very rare item is. Maybe a rose?

It´s a lot of information from the start, with a bit of blind experimenting. I like the variety in the plants, but it feels like the grid is way too big if the plants are almost all gone after delivery. Interesting synergies as well, made the game a lot more fun. Nice game!

A very interesting game, it was quite fun, the gameplay loop is pretty addicting, i wish there were more plants to experiment and make combinations with.

I liked the graphical style and premise of the game. I also enjoyed the variety of plants.
