The Old Ones told of the time that the emerald comet would fall, bringing with it a terrible darkness. Now you stand between the evil and your home village. Raise the Guardians and destroy the evil before it grows too strong!

Controls
-----
LMB or Z: Plant a seed
RMB or X: Dash towards the mouse

Hints
-----
- Planting a seed costs a full energy bar
- Dashing costs a small amount of energy
- Totems heal you and replenish your energy bar

Theme
-----
I chose to target both themes. Growing appears twice in this game, firstly with the demon comet which grows as you fight it and secondly with the seeds that you plant which (strangely) grow into objects that are not plants...
The two button controls are slightly supplemented by the mouse position and I also use other buttons for things such as skipping menus and exiting the game.

Builds
-----
Some reported issues on Linux build.

Enjoy!
