Everything is polished and smooth, i liked the well made gameplay. Also the music really cached my attention. I wish I knew how you made those crispy sounds!

Thanks! Sound side is easy and hard at the same time.

For music try

— In Ableton, simply add the “Synth Bit” effect to any example clip, it made 90% of work

For sound effects, you can also try making them here

Oh, thank you! I will use these for my next soundtracks then :)

Fun concept! As more flowers grew, it became somewhat difficult to grab the ones you wanted, but the combination system was neat!

Developer

Thank you! I’m glad you enjoyed the concept and the combination system!

I like the concept of combining plants with a chance of fail or success based on combo. It was not very visible, but when I focused a little harder, I could tell what to do. Nice work.

Very good game. I had a lot of fun playing really good art and gameplay. but the game was too easy i was able to get to score 200 with no combining.

Developer

Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it! I’ll work on the difficulty.

This is so awesome! I've never seen a game with this kind of idea. It took a bit of time to get the hang of it, but once I did it was really fun to play. If your going to add to the game in the future, I think you should add a little guide to the combos in game.

Developer

Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it. A combo guide is a great idea!

good game!

I absolutely love how much effort is put into little things like animations, sounds, etc. 

The only thing I don’t fully understand is the principle by which flowers are crossed, it would be cool to have some kind of book in which your mutations would be written down with a description!

Developer(+1)

Thank you for the kind words! I’m glad you enjoyed the little details in the game. Regarding the flower mutations, I added text with the recipes on the game page for reference. I agree that having an in-game book would be a great way to present that information in a more interactive way. Thanks for the suggestion!

Incredible game! Everything from the art, to sound to small effects is just great. Insane what you managed to pull off in 2 days

Developer

Thank you so much! I’m really glad you enjoyed the game and the attention to detail. It was a lot of fun to put everything together in such a short time!

This looks great, and feels amazing to play. I think I managed to cheese it a little by spamming the cactus though lol

Developer

I’m glad you enjoyed the gameplay! Haha, it sounds like you found a fun way to make things easier with the cactus.

Very interesting setting and gameplay, and the graphics are stunning. Combining freedom with tower defense is a refreshing and eye-catching combination.

Developer

Thank you for the kind words!
