I like the atmosphere and graphics. Wasn't a successful gardener, but enjoyed my time playing.

The graphics are really nice!

This was an interesting concept, though it took a bit of trying before I figured out precisely what things did, even after reading the instructions. I guess the lack of immediate feedback from any action makes learning somewhat difficult.

Thanks for the feedback! I have added more descriptive controls in the description.

Surprising amount of depth to this game. Sort of like an rts/tower defense hybrid. Good job!

Nice looking game. It was pretty hard to tell the cause and effect of the different actions, so it felt a little trial and error. The atmosphere and sound effects are nice.

I won but I had no idea what was happening, I never saw the beetles or caterpillars crawling onto the stalks (are they supposed to?)

Cool concept! Their could be more feebacks to unterstand what exactly is going on, apart from that, it is great!

I'm planing on finishing the stuff i could not get done in the 48 hours, when i do that it will be uploaded here for all to play: http://dracolizardstudios.com/

@uvwar they only climb up the main stalk stem, i did not have time to add complex AI were they will climb over the smaller stems.

Fantastic mood and graphical appearance~ Was fun to play, kind of like a plant tower defence, but I think it was a little unclear how to defend yourself properly. Good work, would totally play a polished plant tower defence game!

Cool concept. Good execution

Very cool, graphics are pretty cool, and the gameplay seems to works well! :)

I like the idea, nice graphics! Sort of like a vertical tower defense game. It's a bit confusing and it would be cool to have music and sound effects but good nonetheless! :)

Nice idea with the real plant defences but I felt a little lost sometimes for what to do, graphics are nice though.

I couldn't play the game (64 bit Linux) without installing a full multilib environment (would rather not do it).
If you upload a 64 bit Linux build and drop me a link on twitter, I'll give it a second try!

Lovely graphics! I included it in my Ludum Dare 34 compilation video series, if you’d like to check it out :) https://youtu.be/iU4q-3Z4nkI




It was a bit hard to see the effect of the poison leaves, which made the timing a bit tricky.
