An interesting concept, I love the modifiers from the plants. I played for a while and I wonder is there a win condition? also a visual indicator for a plant in distress that is off screen would have been helpful. Interesting game good job!

Also something to note:
There is currently a softlock if you retry after failing, fix ready for when the Jam finishes, for now forcefully restart the game.
