Game Description
Players fight waves of enemies to protect a beanstalk as it grows, eventually allowing them to climb out and ESCAPE
How does your game tie into the theme?
Players are trying to escape a single room, enemies come in the day and players gain upgrades at night. Some upgrades make enemies work for the player instead

This game looks and sounds so good! I couldn't get past the first wave, though. It felt like too many enemies spawned (around 15?) and there was no way I could kill them before they destroyed the beanstalk. Also, tiny bug: when the game restarts the beanstalk's health is not quite at full.
Really glad you enjoyed the presentation of the game! You can't actually lose the game, you just need to survive 60 seconds. If you die, the game respawns you at Night (where there are no enemies!). I think it might be impossible to beat the game without buying any upgrades. In my rush to submit the game I forgot to tell players to interact with the beanstalk by pressing "E", which is what starts the next wave >.<
Thanks for playing, though! :)
Movement felt great and I liked the music and lighting. I think there were some other bugs in my version though, I didn't seem to be getting any monsters spawning and the countdown timer looked like it was stuck at 0. Maybe I was missing something? Shaders worked though lol.
Glad you liked the presentation and movement! Unfortunately in my rush to get the game submitted, I forgot to tell players to interact with the beanstalk by pressing "E" while nearby, which is what starts the next wave. Thanks for playing, though :)
That was a wild ride! I enjoyed it once it all got flowing!
same with the ultrawide but it was fun
Glad you had a good time! Thanks for playing and for the feedback, and sorry about the weird shader issues.
This is a freaking weird game, but I like it! What was I killing and what were they moaning about?!
FYI it didn't look right on my ultrawide monitor. I think you need to test it on some other resolutions. Only the top left of my screen had a shader. I tried to upload a screenshot but I think the file was too big.
Thanks for playing, and for the feedback! The moaning was actually a last-minute sound effect I made for one of the enemies, but it gets a bit out of hand when too many of them spawn haha. Glad you had a good time despite the game's flaws, sorry about the shader issues!
