Great entry overall. Awesome art and engaging, fun gameplay. 5 mins feels like a perfect time for this, not too long, but enough to get a hang of mechanics and plan best strategy.

Awesome!

Very interesting original concept, pretty good execution too! Music was quite cool, was it also made for the jam? Couldn't see music/audio on the page

Developer

No sadly we didn't have an audio/ music person in the team. All sounds we used was from free sources (and free for non commercial use). Sadly we can't be that proud of the music, other than the fact that we picked it for this XD. 

Thanks for playing!

Really good game ! I like how you have to manage your own difficulty by deciding what to plant and where. I don't play much bullet hell but I feel like this is a really good take on the genre.

The tutorial page was clear even if it felt a bit overwhelming with all the infos at once. I didn't really understand when to harvest until I noticed the blinking circle around the bottom of the plants.

The art looks good and I really like the music too.

Quite fun! I like the fact that the game is as hard as you make it for yourself (the more you plant, the more points you get, but also the more you need to dodge).

The tutorial was clear and made sense, artwork was gorgeous, controls felt good and sound was quite nice. Game felt very polished, especially considering it was a game jam submission. The fact that the time IS your health also feels quite nice to play with.

All in all a very good submission!

Nice combine of farming and bullet hell game, I got 14000!! The first tutorial page is very clear,  and  I like the harvest sound when holding right-click. I found that I almost didn't use slow motion when playing, maybe I am just to focus at dodging and not aware of whether it is full. I usually got hit when need to move closer to harvest the plant. 
Very fun to play :)

Nice idea, making the player essentially set the difficulty to higher to get a higher score. Really nice graphics too. It wasn't instantly clear when a plant could be harvested but I ended up realising how things work soon enough.

Really nice polish on this title! The core concept of combining the bullet hell mechanics with a farming simulation is pretty neat, and the execution was good. I think the dodging could be improved be giving the plants more rhythm in their attacks, and/or adding a dash or jump to the player. Otherwise, very well put together game, and fun to play. Congrats!

Very cool game! I like that you can choose your own difficulty by deciding how much you plant. The graphics and audio fits well the game. No issues with the controls or accessibility. Everything was clear and easy to catch. Nice entry!

Submitted

Good game. I just got a little confused, at first, when to harvest and how to get different seeds, but then i figured it out and the game was really fun! And my best score was 6.700 ! =)

Submitted

I got 4800. Having your own plants shoot bullets is a cool idea.

Submitted

Nice arcade like bullet hell! The game looks cute and sounds great. The tutorial at the start was bit of an info dump but worked well, learned the game really fast.

Submitted

That was really good! I didn't know I needed a make your own bullet hell until now. By best score was 4700

I wish you could shove seeds into the merchant barrel faster. once I had 18 or so it started to become a nuisance XD

Developer

Thanks for playing and for the feedback!
Reducing the merchant's clicking cooldown is definitely on my to-do list.
I hope I can find time to play your game after work today.

cool game

Great game! I loved the main character.

It took me a while to figure out when I was able to harvest, but once I got it, it became quite fun :)

Developer

Thanks for playing and we are glad you had fun!
After seeing some friends play the game, I also noticed that they were a bit confused regarding when the plants are mature. I suppose I need to make that clear from the tutorial screen. Hope I can find some time soon to try out your game as well!

Submitted

Amazing art, I love games where I make my own enemies. This game has a bunch of replayability! Great job!
