Was the resolution a challenge?
This was really fun! I have a habit of making smol pixel art. However, working solo; I may have spent too much time on art and music, and not enough time with balancing the gameplay.
What did you learn?
I'm always learning how to not over-scope my designs. I still over-scoped this designed ofcourse, but I was able to resist most the temptations of feature creep.

The presentation of this game is amazing—the color palette, the sprites, the music. It's all so delightfully warm and soft. Wonderful. The difficulty curve does spike pretty hard in the beginning, but this is absolutely one I'm going to revisit post-jam!
Pretty fun.
I like the farmer's design and the large nose made me think of squidward.
The beginning was a bit slow, and then quickly become quite hard.
Hitboxes could have been a bit more forgiving maybe - navigating between plants could be frustrating.
Hitting enemies and picking up/planting could also be a bit finicky.
Fun little game. Love the little skeleton farmer sprite, btw. One thing that might make it a little better is maybe adjusting the difficulty curve slightly. Probably a little harder at the beginning than it needs to be.
A really well-rounded entry, good job! It's a nice mix of mechanics, if on the slightly too difficult side. And as simple as the music was, it worked nicely in a loop and didn't get tiring :) Keep it up!
overall a nice experience. i like the music, its simple, but loveable. the art is nice, maybe the gameplay needs some more polishing.
I really enjoyed this game. I feel like I need to dive into it more when I have time to play longer after jam, as I found it really challenging, but I enjoyed the gameplay.
I tried this so many times but I still perish. Is a lot of fun :) But it depends a lot on luck since the more shooting flowers you have the easier it becomes….
Atmosphere, music, graphics all fit really well together….
If the controls were a little bit more snappy and responsive it would be even better :)
I perished! Good game, had fun :D
This is so good! its so satisfying having lots of tall plants defending the tree - is there a way to tell which seed makes a plant? Id waste a good spot for it to be another spike ball too often :')
I love the art and sound effects. Great work!
Great game, but I don't understand how to play it. An explanation of what various flowers do would be great. Rarely do I get the one that shoots projectiles. Apart from that I sometimes get the other flowers but I don't know what they do, they don't seem to have an attack. And when larger waves come I get overwhelmed.
Visuals and music are great. I like everything as a package.
