I couldn't figure out how to attack the guys so i could bring them to my plant. Originally i thought you had to push live people in there :P Aww well, nice game though!

Nice idea, i feel like the animations were quite delayed when hitting, some feedback when hitting someone, would also be nice. I also had soem trouble figuring out, where to place the bodies. Fun idea though, and I like the look of the plant.

Fun game with an interesting concept! Unfortunately I was not able to figure out how to attack...

My only other recommendation would be to make the horizontal pushing a little easier. I found that the bodies often didn't go where they were supposed to.

All in all, great game and I look forward to your next entry.

Strong sense of mood here :)
Controls are a bit wonky though.
Overall a nice prototype

Cool idea, but the gameplay gets boring really quick

the idea and the gameplay is nice. for me the coremechanics didnt work well. the player did not do what he is supposed to and the plant wont eat. i think it needs bit more polishing. keep it up :)

Great concept! The gameplay and controls felt well refined too, I also really liked the graphics! Sometimes, from certain angles, it was hard to feed humans to the plants (didn't happen that much though.) Also, maybe the humans should have been scared when they see a gardener bashing someone around the head with a club... I know I'd be scared lol! Overall, had a really fun time playing this game, and its a great jam entry!

Great concept, although for some reason I was able to wack like 10 people in the street in the game leaving their bodies without it ending so it needs a little bit of AI work but pretty fun over all well done :clap:
