This game was made for Ludum Dare 34
In this game you grow plants and protect them from evil shoes,shears and bulldozers. It is about experimenting and getting used to the game mechanics and also about strategically thinking.

My game can be played with only 2 Keys (A/D) or a Mouse (which has 2 Buttons).

You upgrade things by throwing coins at them.
Enemies will appear when the sun rises.
When all your flowers die you have to restart the level.



Game was made in Java using LWJGL with eclipse
Art was made with ProMotion
Music was made with FamiTracker
Sounds were generated with sfxr

Thank you for your time!
I would be happy if you try my game and post a comment.
