I Play this game from time to time, I dont know how I found this game, I dont play any other games on itch, logged in to comment this, This is one of the most fun game that I played, take it with a pinch of salt because i dont play that much games anyways, but this is one of my favourite, I always play on hard mode and easily clear the game but it is still nice to complete it from time to time, I thought this was a famous game, but afther clicking on a link today found out it was some competition game, loved it, loved it, loved it, LOVED IT

don't make fun of me but i lost on wave one but over all its a fun game

Interesting game, I like music and general look. Few things would need to be polished. For instance the enemy markers could be flying around and be always visible to screen, as it frustrating when you miss that there we some markers placed in area out of your screen. The bell should just 'ding' when clicked, I don't see a need to take bell into hand and click again to release the wave. Also I need to wait every time after placing a seeds for plants to grow ie.: I cant release the wave, and bell does not make them grow immediately, so game forces me to sit and wait till they pop up, then click a bell and again sit a wait till enemies walk over all the greenfield to start the fight. Enemies are cool, would be good if they have health bars and some attack animation. Maybe waves could go one after another w/o the unncessayy delays, the game would be more fun then. The tree is adorable :)

Fun game Joshua! I made it to wave 7 before getting overrun. I really tried banking on the bramble but it didn't seem to work out sadly. I really like the art style by the way, it sends me back to the Newgrounds days. How did you get the sprites to be so clear by the way? I make my sprite art in Aseprite but its never smooth like yours so I'm curious.

Thanks for playing!

To make the art I do the initial outlines on paper using Sharpie as I find it easier to get the look I want, rather than drawing digitally. I then take a photo of it on my phone and upload to my PC where I extract the line art, downscale it to the right size, and clean it up a bit. Finally, I add all the finishing touches like colour, shading, animation frames, etc. all digitally. :)

Great job! Played it till wave 20) Very catchy gameplay and nice sound. 

Animations can be a bit messy and chaotic when every spot taked by plants. 

Good game)

Developer

Thank you!

great game, super fun/addicting! I made it through wave 17 and then had to stop myself from playing more.

Developer

Thanks! Well done getting all the unlocks. :)

This game was amazing! Very addicting especially when I was so curious to see what plant I will unlock next. I died on wave 14 as my defense gets rammed through by those fast enemies. I really love how you introduce the wall plant by first showing a enemy that can shoot and then providing a counter to it next wave.  This game looks well polished and the music and sound effects complimented the game perfectly! One thing I would suggest if you want to continue working on this is to have the coin pickup sound stay at a low volume when picking up all at once, as when I picked up like 10 coins at once the sound became very loud. Overall solid game!

Developer

Thanks for the feedback! Glad you enjoyed it. :)

AMAZING. Great art, great gameplay, fun to play.



btw...

(I got to wave 15 and stopped there because it wont continue, it spawned all enemies and i killed them and that was it. I waited for 3 minutes but it didnt continue.)

Developer(+1)

Thank you for playng!

Cheers for the info, it should continue infinitely so looks like something is going wrong there.

I'll take a look and see if I can put out a patch later today.

Developer(+1)

Just pushed a fix for this (v1.0.1). The game should no longer get stuck after wave 15. Thanks again for reporting!
