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!!

The red spider lights in the Jungle make me think of Helldivers 2. Great work!

I can't stop the spiders but the spiders can't stop me either

Very unique game, great job!
Looks really good too.

Great visuals and atmosphere, and the gameplay was neat, but I wish that there were more sound effects for the enemies, it felt a bit empty without it. Otherwise great work :)

pretty fun and unique experience. satisfying loop. The visuals and atmosphere are charming, and the gameplay feels rewarding

This game is super unique. The visuals are cool and it has good bones for something more. It took me a while to start using plants because I was flipping the spiders on their backs like turtles by jumping into them. Couldnt do that for the big ones so I had to play properly haha. Thanks for the cool experience.

I went nuts. 

I noticed that dying currently just pauzes the game, so I kinda cheated and just kept going until my pc could not produce more than 5 fps.
Some more player feedback when grabbing/planting flowers would be nice, because I did not even realize i was planting stuff for the first few minutes.

This game looks super cool! Really nice models and animations, the environment is dark and eerie so the illumination of the plants and spiders are easily seen and distinguished! That big area, wow. I may have had too many flowers at some point, my poor little computer tanked trying to keep up and dipped into single digit FPS, but it was still pretty rad! 

I felt pretty unstoppable for a while until I went from 200+ Health to -11 in less than a second, so beware those big guys for sure. Cool little game for sure! :D

Cool game! I like the idea of planting plants to fight. It is a bit unclear about how to do things, but overall great work on this!

Good call on adding the demo gifs and gameplay video - that helps! The Power of Nature vs. Metal is a really cool use of the theme that I haven't seen elsewhere. Bravo!

funny name and concept and it was a fun tower defense sort of concept where you can move the towers. nice!

Great job on the sound design and particle effects. very satisfying to play

Really unique idea! I like the vibe and collecting flowers. Holding down R is indeed for the memes.
