Having the two mechanics play into each other was decent, though the intro could be a bit more optimised indeed (with all the different options for buttons, it actually gets harder to figure out what I'm supposed to press now)
- I had nights where no monsters at all showed up
- If there are no monsters the music shouldn't be as dramatic
- If all monsters are dead the night should end
- Dropped seeds can spawn under soil so they're invisible
- Shortcuts to seed types would work better on controller
I really liked your idea and the execution felt pretty polished. Art style is consistent, music is good, gameplay feels smooth. I think the game would be more interesting without the "waves" so you are working under constant pressure turning this into combat gardening. Nice entry!
