Really cool entry! It shows a lot of promise and has a ton of style :)
From a gameplay side, it was really cool to slowly push out the frontier to have more room to farm, though I liked how the threat was always present as you could still see the glowing eyes and towers fighting in the distance.
I eventually ended up getting pushed back all the way though as it seemed I didn't have enough beetroots to repair and rebuild my towers, I only managed to find a couple after building all the structures.
And thus I ended up getting pushed all the way back, clinging on to my last beetroot as I fell into the void
From an art side, it was wonderful, the watercolour paintings are fantastic and a really unique style I don't often see in games. I really like how they shifted and warped slightly as though it were a stop animation.
Overall it shows a lot of promise, I think it could be a very interesting take on a strategy sidescroller (forwardscroller?)
