Mike's Garden Simulator 2015 Platinum Edition ============================================= Mike is a nature friend and loves his garden. Unfortunately the apocalypse occurred and there are now bad thorn bushes and zombie gardeners everywhere. However this doesn't stop Mike from enjoying the few hours of sunlight he has in northern Canada. Help him enjoy nature in this post apocalyptic world in peace.
Controls -------- There are two buttons: `Plant` and `Attack`. On Desktop they are mapped to `A` and `D`, on mobile on the left and right half of the screen. In menus you can use `Plant` to select an option and `Attack` to confirm it.
Gameplay -------- Destroy the bad thorn bushes and zombie gardeners (`Attack`). Pick up coins along the way to purchase upgrades and buy awesome new seeds. You can plant climbing vines in front of buildings to get on the roof. While climbing you can plant a new vine next to you (`Plant`) or jump of (`Attack`). You can plant a rose in between buildings to restore some health or plant a bridge plant by throwing seeds in a gap. However you have to purchase one time use seeds for those two plants. If you progress more to the right, your coin multiplier will be increased.
Update 19.12.16: Make game playable on low end mobile devices, fix damage upgrade not working
The hit box needs to be made smaller for the player. I was getting hit when I wasn't close the zombies. Also, the color of the thorn bush needs to be changed so that it stands out. I initially thought it was just part of the background scenery.
The game does follow the theme very well though. Overall, a good game. Just needed a little bit more polish.
Tried the android version. Took a moment to figure out the controls but my fault for not reading the instructions haha. Cute game. Reminds me a lot of the Karnov game on the NES for some reason.
Not sure how you cross pits in the level. I don't have enough to buy a bridge on the first run, am I intended to die then buy some? The control scheme feels very awkward. I like the music and the graphics quite a lot.
A bit repetitive. the music reminded me of the genesis shadowrun game which was great. Sometimes the gaps show up without time to plant a seed and I found that frustrating. Good main character.
Interesting concept, controls seem a bit wonky at times, but I enjoyed myself anyways.

@jschenk: Looks normal to me.. But congratz on getting that far without the gamme going crazy because of a multiplier >= 2^31 Easy mode: Overflow the multiplier(bottom left of screen, 32 bit) Hard mode: Overflow the money counter(64 bit)
Really interesting game! I included it in my Ludum Dare 34 compilation video series, if you’d like to check it out :) https://youtu.be/S5oK4fsls3Q
