[raw]
made by JoshyOshKenoshi for LD33 (COMPO)
Ever wondered what monsters like to do with their time off from scaring/eating people? Why, a spot of gardening, of course!

In Pro Gardener: Monster Edition, you are the monster... gardener! Your aim is to help your plants grow by giving them what they need, be it swamp water, 'Quik Gro' plant food, various human innards, or some suspiciously blood-like liquid... Simply select your tool from the panel and then click on your plants to keep them happy... and alive!

Cool idea! I like the graphics, the plants look really good.

I found the plants didn't really demand much towards the end -- I spent a lot of time waiting around, which slowed down the pace a bit too much. Making them more demanding later into the game would've made it more frantic.

Nice pixel art and game layout-- very appealing. The audio is hilarious but gets sort of annoying after a while, haha. This game was pretty hard with a laptop touchpad. Cute flowers. :)

I wish the "hit target" for the items at the bottom were a little larger -- or I wish I were a little more accurate at clicking. One or the other. :) I also found myself clicking on the "talk balloon" at times instead of the plant pot itself. Again, I blame me. ;) Fun idea!

Funny litle game. I appreciate the fact, that it looks like complete game. Good job.

I win! Great take on the theme, and pretty entertaining.

I was expected it to get really hectic / difficult as I went on, and it just... didn't.
I'd have liked some variation in the sounds the plants made - a random sound out of a selection, or perhaps a sound for each requirement.

Amusing sound effects. :P I won, though it took a couple of tries.

I also saw that it slowed down a bit near the end while I was waiting on the last plant to get hungry.

I had lots of fun with this. Reminded me of being a botanist in SS13!

Audio is great! Something I might suggest is making the tools stay selected until you select a different tool? e.g., two plants want some suspiciously blood-like liquid, I could time it out a little better to feed them in one swoop with the same tool? Just spit-ballin'!

I liked it - Feed Me. Lost a few rounds, but then got the hang of it. Very cool game, and well done.

I kind of liked the break when the plants became full. Maybe pluck them and plant new seed to keep the frantic pace.

Omnomnomnom... The idea is so cool, the audio and flowers very funny too :D
I'm missing some kind of feedback sound or animation for the item selection, otherwise you are never sure If you clicked it or not.

Absolutely loved the audio for this game. Only gripe is that the hit targets for the buttons at the bottom were too small so you kinda need to be super precise with your clicking (as a suggestion maybe assign shortcut keys to each tool?).

Cute game and great audio! Found clicking the 'food' at the bottom didn't always take -- and missing one spells the end of the game!

I liked a lot!
Very funny and the audio effects are fantastic, really made me laugh. Graphics are correct.
As someone mentioned, the click-boxes for both the items and the plants should be larger. Died a few times for this.
Great game and thank you for providing Linux builds!
