How does your game fit the theme?
There is a "calm" period to place down crops and buy upgrades before the "storm" where you fight your plants.

Did you write all the code and made all the assets from scratch?

I though we were friend with the crops and they attack me. Pretty cool concept, I love you can decide where to plant.

Thank you, happy you enjoyed :D

I don't know if it was the web build or skill issue but the enemes move at the same speed as the player and can hide under your gun between where you can't shoot them and then it's game over because you can never kill them with their perfect AI. 

Developer

None of the enemies are faster than the player, but they could be since some upgrades change the player's walk speed so possible that the upgrade choices were just bad lol but yeah there's no way to kill them after they reached a certain point

Submitted(+1)

They weren't faster, they were equal in speed to me. I couldn't create distance. I was at the first level by the way, only planted one tomato and it still took me like 10 tries to get to level 2. Did not pass that due to felt impossible to me.

Developer

Oh... That's strange, I tried playing it again and the player is very much faster than the tomatoes in the first stage, but sorry you had to face that, I really am not sure what could possibly be causing the issue

Submitted(+1)

I just tested something and figured it out
-In fullscreen, the tomatoes were twice my speed
-in the normal view, they were equal
-when I shrunk the page to 70%, they were 70% of my speed and I had an easy time outpacing them

It's the window size messing with things. Worse, the window doesn't scale which means if I shrink the screen to slow down the enemies to a reasonable level I can't pick up the gun to start.

I'll bump the game design score up two because the unfair speed was unintentional.

Developer

Oh wow, thank you for bringing up the issue and I really appreciate you changing the rating.

Submitted(+1)

I liked the different enemies and being able to choose which ones you fought. it was a cool idea

Developer

Happy you enjoyed the game :)

Submitted(+1)

It's pure fun. Taking all the gun upgrades gets too crazy. Good game!

Developer

Thank you, glad you enjoyed :)

Submitted(+1)

Game design is great, I would just say that the upgrades get a little stale. Well done though, I played all the way through.

Developer

Thank you, would have done more with the upgrades but I was at the crunch of time lol

Submitted(+1)

This was fun! Definitely would be a cool game if you continued to develop it more! The idea was very neat

Developer

Oh yes I most certainly will

Submitted(+1)

I like how the gun keeps getting crazier and crazier 

Developer

Yes, that's what I was going for 

Submitted(+1)

Pixel art is beautiful. Every sprite clearly tells what it is representing. Game is also fun, with progressive powerups and difficulty. A nice addition would have been an indicator on how hard each fruit it (at some point I made a round only against corn, and got blasted). It's also cool that you can choose beforehand what you're gonna fight against. Good job!

Developer

Thank you! Actually yes you have some good ideas, I may improve on this game further, thanks for trying it out :D

Submitted(+1)

Good pixelart, nice upgrades. I like it that each stage is as difficult as you want it to be.

Great job!

Developer

Yeah that was the idea for this game, happy you enjoyed it :)

Submitted(+1)

Really liked the game, the sprites were good and it was interesting to see the upgrades' effects!

Developer

Glad you enjoyed :)

Submitted(+1)

Very good game! Played it for a solid half an hour. It's pretty cool how u get to choose your own difficulty in a way.

Developer

Thank you, choosing your difficulty was the whole idea. Really happy you enjoyed it :D

Submitted(+1)

Really cute game! I loved the art style, I think the gameplay needed a little bit more in the beginning to help get it going but its a great idea for a game with a lot of potential! I hope you keep working on it :)

Developer

Yes thank you, that's the biggest problem I've been hearing from everyone. And yes I do plan to work on this game further, happy you enjoyed it :)

Submitted(+1)

What a charming game! You art is great, as always!

I think the game is on the easier side, I pretty much one shot it. The end boss is really easy due to some not so great choices on the attack patterns, but it was hella fun!

Developer

Yes this was my first attempt at a boss fight, and a roguelike overall, the boss fight did take me a lot of head bashes to make lol, I did as much as I could in the limit, really happy you enjoyed :)
