Really Interesting take on a standard base defence game. Love having to balance the crop growing and shooting

nicely streamlined tower defense game! the left/right screen input handling is really great - was a little lost on how to get more plants, though

An innovative approach with combining farming and defense! The leaderboard is a nice addition as well.

For me it was a little confusing why bullets fly slightly off relative to where I was aiming for, but I guess that is just the perspective.

My hand started hurting so bad after all that clicking, but I enjoyed playing your game! I think maybe if you could use one hand for shooting and the other for planting (maybe using keyboard numbers?) it would relieve a bit from the one hand and simultaneously become more chaotic/skill-based, since you have to coordinate both hands at once :D
