I am kind of new to making games, and have never competed in any jams before. Because of this, the idea I had come up with had way too big of a scope. Next time I will for sure make something much more simple. A lot of my ideas did not come close to being put into the game, so I just kind of made it into a playable state. Music was made by my buddy.
There are three levels in total and three powerups that spawn randomly. The first two levels have an exit that you open by defeating all the robots. The final level has a ship that allows you to exit when you find it. Both you and the plant have a health bar. If either of them reaches zero the game restarts. The biggest problem with the game would be the loading screens. I wanted randomly generated levels, but the way I am making them can take awhile.
Your game feels well balanced and I never felt like my death was cheated.
Also, it was a nice touch that the plant could also fire.
