Plumber Panic by Mr.Chippy

[raw]
made by Mr.Chippy for LD34 (JAM)
"You boss stole some treasure and had you guard it..."
In Plumber Panic you are a plant that lives in pipes. You need to stop the plumbers from going down the pipes to get the treasure.

This is a great simple mechanic, I liked it a lot - however after a short time it becomes completely impossible.

I like the theme, but the gameplay gets boring quickly. The sounds were unbearable to me. Good job, though!

basically just a game of how long you can mash the left and right arrow keys

Haha, nice inversion of Mario's situation. Could do with some powerups or a goal to stop it feeling repetitive, but otherwise great :)

The gameplay got repetitive really quickly and could be cheesed easily by spamming the left and right buttons. Adding a delay to switching sides may fix this, but you'll likely also need to reduce the number of plumbers to compensate.

Simple mechanic but when it gets serious it gets interesting. Nice game.

good use of the concept, as game progress it becomes impossible after 60 points.. may be little slow in char movement and turning speed of left & right will make game interesting

It got pretty hard pretty quick!
I like the idea of playing as the plant in a 'mario' game.
Would be cool to see it expanded upon
