This is definitely the start of something cool, but for me the combat atleast in the browser version felt a bit too slow. I think all the player melee attacks could be twice as fast and it would be a lot more enjoyable imo.

Also some more indication of a hit on the player could liven it up a bit. Perhaps when the player is hit have a faint red screen flash or something. Actually I think in general the health counter could be more obviously a health indication by maybe moving it into one of the corners of the screen and maybe add a little plus icon next to it. I thought it was the number of enemies I had to kill at first.

I like the idea of the store but I think perhaps rather than having to walk into it, either make the player have to press a button to open the shop, or as the previous suggestion said have the shop window come up automatically between rounds. Almost every time I tried to get out of the shop I had to back away first and then close the shop window otherwise it would open right up again.

I think you're onto something though, wave based cactus defence could be fun with some more polishing up!

This game was alright. I really liked the look of the cacti but otherwise it's pretty barebones. I also liked the song but not sure how well it fit the game. I found that the sword was slower than the rock? XD Also after the wave where I got the sword I couldn't move anymore. Well, I could move a little bit, but only to the right and it didn't seem to correspond to the key presses. I also wasn't sure what the number at the top was. At first I thought it was a timer, but I think maybe it might be health? Or the number of cacti left to kill? I couldn't figure it out. And the description said killing the cacti would make them leave tiny ones, which made me think they'd actually appear on-screen, but they didn't. In fact, I had a hard time getting the big cacti to disappear before the end of a wave. Maybe that's intentional, but it wasn't what I was expecting. The shop was neat, though.

You have the beginnings of something good here. Keep up the good work!

i see potential in this game.. even if it is only of killing cactus.. it is fun to play and i got in the second wave with the red cactus... and when that number got to 0 i lost the game... i tough it was the number f cactus i needed to kill till the game end... you could do something like this: "health: 100" just to show it is the health.. the UI part can improve... specially in the X button... but i think it might be to fit the style of the game though... and have just one thing i didnt liked at all.. that was the performance... i think you have chose it to have good graphics and it wasnt running smoothly in my computer... since it is a simple game i think the graphics quality can be lowered down... and i dont blame much on your game... an UHD 620 intel Igpu is really bad.. i cant play games newer than 2013/14... but overall... it is a fun game... and a tip... put one more track on it... or switch to a longer one to it dont repeat much.

if you want you can play my game of the jam... it is Forespend and i am open for feedbacks and tips... and can i put the game to be able to people play in browser? i dont know how to do it
