Neat idea, I like this take on the theme. Really nice art. Good job!

Submitted

I like this one just wish the pesticide could be better targeted, you have to walk to scare the pests and then fire at them, maybe a little bit of heat resistance on the turnips.

Submitted

Got over 10000 points! Really fun game idea, and I love a good theme name pun. I like the endless mode for the jam version, but I think a level mode would really make the game shine if you wanted to finish it. Great energy on the song for when aphids are attacking! Nice work, definitely worthy of high ratings!

Fun game! Interesting theme implementation - liked that "rabbits" also grow from fertilizer )

But one thing i don't understand - how lose the game ?  ))

Oh, and nice wind effect!

Submitted

Fun game. I like the swap between chaos and peace. The fertilizer didn't seem as useful as the pesticide. Having to choose between ammo and score is a nice decision.

Submitted

Awesome game! I was kinda unclear about the ammo mechanic how it was implemented, but the animations and sound effects were great. Also thought the AI was pretty nifty and worked well.

Submitted

Wow! Really creative take on the theme!

Submitted

Cool game! I would definetly play this on smartphone, maybe you could add more types of uses to your "weapon".

Would you mind trying my game out too? I would really appreciate it!

Submitted

Cool mechanics and interactions. The art style feels noisy, I think it would be better if it was a little bit cleaner regardless though it's a great game good job!

Submitted

Cool game name and a pretty nice concept for a fun little game! In love that enemies also grow when you fertilize them. That is a nice little detail. Well done!

What I liked :

  • Music
  • Respect of theme/focus
  • Some effort on polish

What could be improved :

  • better feedback when something is fertilized would be great.
  • (I think it's a bug, but the flame thrower also throw vegetable  particles...
  •  Some upgrades will help to play more
  • Some variety on enemies/map, begin with tiny field, then enlarge them by removing the forest, and get more aphid, and more dangerous ones.
  • Not sure the limitation on gun ammo is useful, as you already need to take care not to burn the plants (witch is clever)

Hope it helps

Fluid controls, fast-paced action. I love how you absolutely have to aim correctly or you will (a) burn your crops or (b) make the pests gigantic. The dual-use of your spray nozzle is a very good implementation of the jam focus. 

Some audio and visual feedback when killing an aphid would be nice. It's just not as satisfying to watch them disappear. Also, the music got somewhat grating. 

Also, some more variety would help keep things fresh. I played for about 4 waves and got some bigger aphids, but the cycle was mostly the same... not sure if the game changes after that.

Good game, the art, visual effects and music really sell the vibe. It's engaging to have to choose between saving a crop and being able to blast a big group of enemies.

Submitted(+1)

Wow loved the base concept. Art, music, sounds and scaling felt solid. More variation in enemies, character/item upgrades or plants would boost this game. Altogether one of the better submissions this jam!

Submitted(+1)

Loved the mechanic of having to swap back and forth between right and left click in order to use the right attack. Great Job!

The game music and sfx made my day!

A REALLY good game you’ve got here…

I feel like beating up Emus and my crops at the same ti~

Yeah, it felt more of an action-packed game than a planting game for me.

But either way, that’s just some genre-crisis, hope you win this jam!

Really good game you got here. It went with the theme really well having a multi-use fertilizer/flamethrower that also gets more chaotic all tied together with the pun in the name. Great stuff, I really wanted a way to use the points between rounds but you can only do so much in a limited time frame. Really solid entry and a fun gameplay loop!

Submitted(+1)

Nice job, I'm not too sure what the two bars on the left do, it seemed like I ran out of the green stuff but I was still able to fire it.

Liked the game! One thing that I think could be cool is a shop or something where you could actually use your points, so there's a little more progression rather than just an endless loop of the same thing over and over again. Overall though, nice game! I'd appreciate it if you played and rated mine too!

Submitted(+1)

Fun game. Because I did not read controls and instruction properly first I blasted the bugs with fertilizer making them grow extremely big, hahaha. At first thought it was an actual bug but then realized I could also click my other mouse button. Had fun after realizing, that have much to comment. Solid entry. Also love the pun in the game name.
