It's a little buggy. I'd like some audiovisual feedback for picking things up, taking damage, and watering a plant. 

Cute concept. Love the bunny somersault animation.

Fun game—the element of protecting the house is super neat! I did find some of the planting and watering a bit wobbly (wasn't always sure if my mouse-click would register properly) but I thought this was a cool approach to the theme.

Really nice game! Moving around and planting seeds was a little tricky, but I enjoyed the core gameplay loop - I managed to survive for three nights! Definitely appreciate the ability to 'water' the house, it was really helpful for those later nights (though I did feel bad for never watering my plants, lol). I did find myself wishing for a way to fight back against the furniture with the bunny (especially when my plant placement wasn't very good...), but I could see how that might be too powerful.

Also, I loved the animations - the bouncy bunny, the lively plants, and the fast-moving furniture were all very fun to watch! The furniture in particular was a great enemy idea. I'm not sure how many types there were - I ended up seeing just the box and the chair - but when I first saw a swarm of chairs and how fast they moved I had a genuine moment of panic, which was really entertaining!

A couple of very small bugs I ran into were: 1) when I finally lost, some of my old Force Plants stuck around when continuing on to a new game (just the Force Plants, not the Flying Plants), and 2) trying to restart from the pause menu by hitting enter didn't work (but refreshing the page did work). However, there were no game-breaking bugs, which is always a win!

Overall, I really liked it! Nice work :)

Thank you so much!! We greatly appreciate the input! Definitely some bugs to iron out but honestly I'm just glad the core loop is fun haha 

Thanks for playing!

Found tree seeds and some water, managed to plant them and defend for a while. Did not understand how to protect house further.
