The goal of the game is to use an assortment of weapons to eradicate the weeds in your soon-to-be pristine garden. Kill all the weeds - and have a garden full of flowers - and you win!
I used Phaser as my game framework, Aseprite to draw my sprites, CFXR to generate sound effects, and Audacity for a tiny bit of audio work.
This was my first Ludum Dare and my first experience with most of the tools I used! Thanks for playing! :)
Amazing for your first entry and first use of those tools. Game slowed down a bit near the end, I assume it was still trying to plant things in the already filled holes and thus nothing happened for a while. Adorable programmer art. ;) and well done sound. Only complaint is I couldn't find much use for 4 different weapons there other than the different "plant death" effects. Still very good for a first run. Come back next time!
The setting and art had a nice charm to it. I liked the overall gameplay, though there were huge lulls in time where nothing would happen. Regardless I kept playing till the end! I'd love to see new levels and maybe have the abilities do different things. Congrats on finishing your first Ludum Dare!
For such a simple premise it was surprisingly fun to play. One gripe would be that all the attacks did basically the same thing, although that could have been a time constraint issue. A great entry for your first try though; it's a lot more playable than mine ever was.
Well done, nice work being your first encounter with many of the tools! I enjoyed the flowers dancing animation in particular, so happy :) At the end I waited for a single patch to become a flower for quite a while (after becoming a weed 3-4 times). Otherwise, I found the game enjoyable. Well done, and good luck with your future games!

Just a couple of suggestions. I didn't really understand the difference between the various weapons. They all seemed to function about the same.
Also the sound effects were a bit harsh on the high end. A little bit of low-pass filtering would go a long way. Nice job.
