I've seen many plant games, but not one with a mushroom.
Graphics are simple, yet straight forward.
What took me a while were the controls. I didn't realy understand what these green dots are until I accidentaly clicked one and found that they are controlable.
I was a little disappointed by the food/water not flowing through your mushroom-roots(is that even a term?).
Besides that, this game is an interesting take on the plant grow genenre. I haven't see it this way before. Perhaps with some finetuning and clearer graphics for the levels this game could become something I can imagine to play. I already spent more time on it that I thought at first.
Very good work. Could be a really cool game when redesigned with better ui and maybe sound.
