Fun! I was impressed with the movement and animations given the development time frame.

You've got a compelling atmosphere and interesting visuals, and a decent gameplay loop.

Some notes on possible improvements:

Variety of play: there's no strategy to placing plants anywhere, I found the best way to play was to just hold all the buttons and put down as many as you can in one place.

Orientation: I didn't feel any motivation to keep me drawn in -- there's no story hook, and there isn't really a positive feedback loop for defeating enemies. You get more "power" but it feels secondary to the game and unimportant.

Feedback: All the little interactions in this game should have feedback -- there's sounds for being attacked and hitting enemies (plus the particles, those are great), but I found myself just mashing Q trying to pick up plants, not even knowing what I was picking up or from where (highlight pickup radius? highlight pickable plants?).

Given the 1 week we had to develop, y'all did great. Love that this game feels well put together in an atmospheric sense and that there's a relatively satisfying moment to be had once you've got a large group of enemies and a lot of plants. My critiques are just the sticking points I noticed were holding back your strong points. Keep working!

The environment if given time can be really awesome, and the character design is cool. Once there are a lot of spiders, though, they can reaaaallly eat up the performance, and it tanks pretty quickly. The fact that you procedurally animated the spiders is pretty cool (probably could be what's eating the performance), so I think in a later version if you focus on the environment, combat mechanics, and possibly just give different spiders different abilities, etc this has a lot of potential to be a fabulous game. Great job!!
