The graphics are amazing and the gameplay is realy fun.
It has definitely some "Plants vs Zombies" vibes with those shooting plants.
Great Idea - great game.
One small "meta" is some of the (even expensive) plants do not aim, so its easier to capitalize on them.
Graphics, gameplay, music, everything was brilliant. I love the detail, that the farmer is warning a soldier helmet! And the dash is the best dash I have ever seen. Or flop? Hmm...
It has a good base gameplay, but I would like a bit of a clearer hitbox on the player. Also I just always put the plants in the upper left corner as a strategy.... and I ended up just having all my money invested in some ongoing plants when the time was up
Great job!
What I loved:
* Felt really polished
* Nailed the theme with an interesting combination
* Whole vibe / mood was right
My thoughts
* I was confused what was hitting me at first :D
* I thought I had to use JZE respectivally. Didn't get that you could only used 1 button :smile:
Overal fucking awesome submission. I really appreciate the work you put in it. Please do checkout my submission as well!

The only minor criticism I have is that is is a little unfair that you have so short time to harvest them before they disappear. It would also be nice to know in advance how long it takes for the different type of plants to grow to help you plan what you wanna grow.
@neontropics thats so true! We come with that problem in the middle of the Jam but didn't got time to think for a solution about it. A good solution, thinking for a post-jam version, would be to transfrom all the planted crops into money when the time runs out, then you would have as much money as before planting them.
My highscore!
**Positive**
- I like the gameplay. The controls felt good.
- Theme is great. I like the combination of these two genres. And the realization.
- The graphics are amazing. I love the details.
- The mood is good, because all different aspects of a game fit very good together!
**Negative**
- The backgroundmusic gets a little bit annoying with time
Overall a really really good entry. My favorite so far!
I would perhaps consider adding an indicator when a plant is ready to pick up. When there's a lot of plants, you can miss a few, especially as it's getting dark.
Overall, this is a great entry! Keep at it :)
Some remarks
- The walk speed seems really slow, would've been nice if it was faster (I know you can dash, but still)
- It would be nice if you could regain health by eating the plants.
- I'll just copy this from another comment here: "I ended up just having all my money invested in some ongoing plants when the time was up"
I also made a farming sim/shooter, so it's really interesting for me to see all the different takes on it.
Nice job!
Patterns are a little bit too easy to dodge but that's just to be picky :)
There was maybe an issue where I could put down a lot of the most expensive one, and find a good spot to watch them all grow without ever being hit, but that's a minor balance issue.
Great job on good work in little time done!
Good work !
Sometimes I felt fruits would disappear a bit too fast, but other than that I had a lot of fun with it.
¡Felicidades!
Every thing work fine and make me only want to play more !
The only thing that could be criticized would be the bad recognition of the bullets.
But that's just a little flaw.
A little anecdote... I started the game in Windows mode and unfortunately chose a bad resolution and then waited the whole time for the truck and I was surprised that it does not show up. :smile:
Great game! I had so much fun that I showed my teammate, who proceeded to trounce me (his score above). This is the kind of quality game that I aspire to during a jam. No complaints whatsoever.
I found a bug where the seeds you currently have gathered aren't cleared when you restart the game, so you could start a new round with an advantage.
Thanks for the game, I was really like it!
I left my rating of your game, if you can leave your feedback in our game, Witch's Escape.
I hope you continue with the project.
