Cute graphics, simple yet fitting sound, and fun mechanic.

Great graphics and smooth controls. My only gripe is that it's a bit hard to hit the enemies without getting hit yourself. I love the use of the theme, well done!"},{"author_name":"minnouu","author_uid":"52028","time":"Apr 20, 2015 @ 8:02am","epoch":1429516620,"text":"Excellent graphics, and excellent game.

The playthrough makes me curious and makes me want to finish the game!! that's a good thing! I wish there's a boss fight after collecting the orb though~! splendid job!"},{"author_name":"DragonXVI","author_uid":"35553","time":"Apr 20, 2015 @ 12:16pm","epoch":1429531860,"text":"Nifty little Zelda-esque game.  The slash distance is a bit short, tricky to hit things without getting hit yourself. Good variation of puzzles and enemies typical of the genre."},{"author_name":"Catman","author_uid":"11589","time":"Apr 20, 2015 @ 12:25pm","epoch":1429532400,"text":"Awesome pixelart and really polished! Cool level design too.

Would be cool to expand it so it focuses even more on this, with loads of different plants that do different things!"},{"author_name":"sbot1101","author_uid":"48972","time":"Apr 21, 2015 @ 1:23pm","epoch":1429622280,"text":"Insane to think this was made in such a short time! well done.

I see a pretty heavy zelda influence, and that blended will with the concept of weaponized plants. The attack distance was a little bit of an issue at first, but I fixed it by getting good. Well done!"},{"author_name":"thaaks","author_uid":"3382","time":"Apr 25, 2015 @ 12:49pm","epoch":1429965840,"text":"Great game! It's fun to play, the graphics are well done, the sound is simple but fits the theme. It's motivating to figure out how to kill the enemies using the different seeds.\r<br\/>My favorite enemy is the moving eye - it just looks great with it's seesaw movement!

I couldn't stop playing until the end. Core gameplay aspects are good and the progression feeling is very well implemented with more plant types appearing at the right moment.
