Fun gameplay, although it's a lot of buttons to remember. I think a mode toggle would help, rather than holding a button. I enjoyed the writing as well.
The text was pretty hard to read and the game got really difficult towards the end but other than that, pretty solid entry. With a bit of fine tuning this could be a solid product.
Such a nice one here. Gameplay gave me really good surprises. Nice one. The seeds mechanic just makes it crazy, you can troll bosses around. Nice story too. I wish it was a bit more polished on the graphics and effects.
Brilliant. Really polished. Gameplay was good (liked planting the seeds then kiting enemies round them), dialog was good. Liked how a little intro set the scene too.
Text got a bit hard to read and I'm not sure I ever really figured out what planting seeds and shooting water at them really did. Graphics were good though. And was there sound? There's a volume control on the main menu but I turned it up all the way and I couldn't hear anything.
Amazing concept, very well executed. I'd love to see this expanded into a full game.
I feel there was a lack of feedback when biting enemies. Also the music was a cacophony, but that's understandable considering most devs aren't musicians.
Fantactic game! Love how it can be played as a top down shooter or a pseudo tower defense and support game. I think it would have made sense to can one of the normal attacks and made the controls: spacebar - normal attack, left click - seed, right click - water. Just to make things a little simpler. The intro was a great touch by the way!
Awesome game! Quite a lot of content for 48 hours, I really liked the dialogues as well! The only thing I missed was an option to hold down your button to keep shooting/ biting.
It is a nice tower defense game. I beat one boss but the later levels were too hard to me. The creepy music was oddly fitting to the atmosphere. Liked the cutscenes too. Good job.
Really a great entry, at first I played it kind of like a tower defense, but eventually I came to realize it felt better as a twin stick shooter-ish game.
The chorded input was a little difficult to get used to, but by about half way through the game I got the hang of it and felt proficient. I enjoyed the humor and the final boss fight. Really well done!
Loved the planting mechanic. I loved how each plant had it's own qualities, and combining the run and gun with almost tower defense gameplay was really interesting. Very funny writing, and surprisingly large amount of content for a compo entry. Great job!
Excellent, I'll probably be keeping this game to play later, which is not usual for an LD game - my favorite so far. I liked the mechanic of growing other plants to help you.
Amazed at how much content is in here. Dialog/puns were fantastic. I also saw you on OnlySlightly's stream when your game was played - you're obviously an amazing talent. I look forward to your next LD 35 entry.
Great job man, this one really stands out. It uses teh theme well, theres a decent amount of gameplay and story here for a 72 hour game. Also pretty good use of enemy placement for your mechanics-- alot of guys hiding around corners so you have to plant your random plant monsters and then bite and kite. Awesome.
I was surprised to play as the plant, I thiought I was gonna be Joe (or whoever) and the plants were gonna be bad guys. I am glad I was wrong.
The transition from certain levels ending to "exposition" was to abrupt. Example you kill a boss and it immediately transition to the text. Art and music was on point. I did find it funny but also forced and cheesy at times. Everything else I didn't have any issues with good work!

The game get boring really fast without some fresh mechanics.
+ Fun gameplay.
- Graphics could be better.
- Lack of audio.
