Restart button was thought of, but it was also fogotten :( This is technically competitive button mashing, but the less you mash, the less obstacles you will hit!
I've had a hard time understanding what I was doing. If you (like me) didn't had time to make an in game tutorial, you could include a readme.txt explaining the game, or adding it here in the game description.
Also sound would be really nice. You could use to improve player-game feedback.
As pretty as this game is, the interface is fairly counter-intuitive to use. Make text bigger and put controls in a closely-grouped logical progression. The gameplay, for a button masher, is alright. The plant growth is fairly smooth, but it can be a little difficult to understand what you're doing. As others have mentioned, having audio is a huge improvement on a game and many underestimate it's potential. This is the first obvious improvement you should make.
I'm all for competitive button mashing and local multiplayer! I agree with Jimbly, a little sound would really help. Need to work out the resolution issues as well.
Maybe I don't get it 'cause I didn't play with someone else. The game seemed to hang every time after I got to a certain height. The mechanics are nicely on theme, though.
Hmmm... mechanics were a little obtuse for me. I need to button smash to win but is it ever strategically better to not smash to avoid the lightning? Maybe it would be more interesting if we saw the lightning charging up so we had something to react to rather than just randomly encounter with no visual legibility of whether we get hit or not. Nice concept, and yay for local multiplayer!

A screen explaining the rules would be nice...
Also missing a restart/back to menu button. Having to restart the executable to start a new round is a drag.

Not something I'm used to seeing, but well implemented
