The graphics and music are so good! I think the gameplay is pretty fun too but the difficulty curve was a bit too slow in the beginning. The last level was a good difficulty and maybe having some more long horizontal levels would have been nice.

@herman-chau Hi, thank you for playing. I agree with you that more horizontal level maybe good! I'll try it in follow-up work.

Wow that was fantastic work you two!!!!!

It has the right progression, never gets stale, great music, challenging at times. that was perfect!

Should definitely be a top contender this LD :v:

Nitpicking: minimap+wider levels+make it harder to win, was there a lose condition?

@exevirus Thank you for playing! yes there is one condition that you will lose: when dead plant exceed the level limit amount(display at top xx/yy), the lose condition is designed according to the total amount of the plants in the scene, and I tried to keep everyone has big chance to win so that he can see the ending of the game.
our ending scene is a very cute picture that created by @shaguna

But yeah, I should add more challenging levels to make the game play has more fun.
Thanks your comments!

Love the pixel art/animation and the (gameboy?) inspired chiptunes. At first I wasn't sold on the idea since it seemed so simple but the level design picked up and the game became a lot more enjoyable and challenging. Well Done!
