I liked the colour palette and calm ambient music. Also upgrading system makes gameplay even more pleasant and enjoyable, it appears right in the proper time to add some necessary dynamics to the game. Monster designs are pretty sweet and it's very nice to get rewarded with blooming flowers on the thingy you protect, makes you feel like your actions matter. :3 \nHowever i think I had a bug, when my plan run out of HP but still stayed alive.

I even thought, that the enemies are somehow feeding that plant which they were gathering around. In the end I found out, that they are trying to destroy it and I helped it grow :D\n\nCould be a bit atmospheric.\n\nAlso a little to easy.\n\nah, the big health bar on top was empty right form the start throughout the whole playthrough. I guess this was a bug?\n\nSolid entry all in all!\n","likes":1,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"Kemsou","author_uid":"1190290","time":"2020-04-21T09:42:33Z","epoch":1587462153,"modified":1587462170,"text":"some things are a bit confusing and we lack some options to spot or kill the ennemies, but it's still a pretty cool game ;)I like the upgrade system\ngood job :thumbsup: ","likes":1,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"a-Dot","author_uid":"1187195","time":"2020-04-21T09:44:44Z","epoch":1587462284,"modified":1587462284,"text":"I think the game would be improved by adding some juiciness on killing enemies (sounds, VFX). I didn't use the jump a single time in the game, I don't really see the value because just staying near the plant and waiting do the job.\nThe overall ambience is very chill and wholesome, graphics and music are nice.

It really felt like you are responsible for the plant. Every time it died, a part of me was sad. \nFor me, the ability to walk and jump seems not necessary. But it is nice that you can explore the world a bit. \nMaybe the movement of the arm could be faster or, as it was a bit annoying to switch the side where I wanted to shoot.","likes":1,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"parahunter","author_uid":"1007477","time":"2020-04-21T10:02:47Z","epoch":1587463367,"modified":1587463367,"text":"Took me a couple of tries to figure out I had to protect the plant in the center. I'd give it's health bar the same art work as the plant instead of a heart to make that clearer.\n\nAlso the jump was very floaty and it took too long to land again.

It could use a bit more polishing though in my opinion.
