How does your game fit the theme?
During the day is a calm and cosy gardening ambiance, but the storm of insects unleashes during the night.
Did you write all the code and made all the assets from scratch?
Most code, 3D assets and UI made from scratch. Used a few icons from kenney.nl and sounds from freesound.org and packages.

very solid game! Think i met zero bugs! but i did meet beetles and that was a real fun twist, good job :D
Great concept and fun gameplay! The growing ammo mechanic adds a unique layer of strategy, and I had a blast managing crops and fending off beetles. Some difficulty progression would keep it more challenging in the long run, but overall, fantastic work!
This game was nice. Got to 2000 and it got way too easy so I had to stop. Maybe some difficulty progression would've been cooler, like the beetles become more fast and there are more of them. Still, it was fun while it lasted. Good work
fun game ! really well balanced and easily addictive ! i had a great time
Fantastic work, especially with growing your ammo mechanics. I got a high score of 2215 and it was great fun.
That’s a really creative take on the theme! The gameplay was fun and intuitive, and the overall look of the game is very pleasant. One suggestion: adding some feedback when you hit a bug, like a flickering effect, would make it even more satisfying. Also, it would be great if the flowers were a bit more protected when ammunition runs out. Other than that, I had a great time playing!
I can see this turning into a mobile game.
Actually one of the best games i've played, sometimes the idea does more the anything else. Great submission! However more ammunition each day by default would be appreciated haha.
A nice ramp up in challenge. I wish I had my mouse (I was using the track pad) as I started to lose around day 12. I think I got 1380 points on my second run. The growing your ammo was a fun approach and I thought the bug model & animations were cool.
Pretty good, like the aesthetic and the simplicity of the mechanic. Balancing the types of crops and fending off the beetles each day was a lot of fun.
This game was very fun, I really like the ammunition mechanic and the money management.
Potato management was the end of me! Pretty fun, well done!
Satisfying game loop, and great gradual increase in difficulty! Played this for a while :D
1065, that was fun! I wish there was a better end menu, but it feels juicy enough to want to see more, good job really.
Cool mechanics. It's kind of addictive) Also looks cute.
Hope you'll continue to develop it and add more plants and enemies. Good job!
I really loved this game, so simple, yet so much strategy.
cool :)
I really liked the game but the pink flower ruined my potatoes harvest (it takes a lot of time to grow) and I run out of ammo ;) But still really fun!
Cool idea the hitboxes are a bit clunky and the enemy spawning at the bottom of the screen are a bit annoying. Overall I had a lot of fun playing it i reached a score of 3230.
Really cool idea, had a lot of fun playing it when i got the hang of it. Managed to get 2500 points. Couple of suggestions would be to add health to the plants as well as water, and add health bars to the beetles. also a short explanation of each plant maybe as a tooltip on hover of the UI could be cool. But overall great submission :)
Thanks and very happy you liked it!
I must say your suggestion were on the todo list (health bar and tooltip) but we were too short on the timeframe... That will probably be a final patch after the gamejam ratings!
I like the game. It's fun to play and looks and feel decent. I could totally see me playing a bit more polished version of this in my free time casually.
I had to try a few times after dying instantly the first 2-3 times, because I wasn't sure what gave me how much many and stuff. More explanation of the plants would help that.
Keep up
