They have been pulled from their homes.
Now they're here for revenge.
Rise of the Weeds!

The weeds of the world have mutated and are growing to ginormous proportions. They seek to destroy humanity one building at a time.
As part of the Weed Aerial Brigade YOU must hold off the weeds long enough to evacuate the cities. But be careful, your chopper is armed with only a limited amount of the critical weed killer need to stave off this threat such as humanity has never seen.
Good luck, pilot!

Loved the feel of this game. Simple idea. Great use of both themes. Loved the music ... seemed very suited. Kind of reminded me of my lawn this year. laughs. At level 5 it was impossible keep all the buildings from not being engulfed by the encroaching weeds.

Cool take on the dual theme. Stressful in a fun way trying to balance resources and maximizing score!

Nice use of both themes. I see a number of ways this could be extended for a casual mobile game. Very cool.

Art is very nice, conecpt is also good, but it got a bit repetitive after a while, didn't feel I had a lot of choices to make anymore, but nicely done!

Nice entry I did find that I could get a rhythm of just moving back and forth to beat them but yeah nice good looking entry.

I've liked the graphics that you made, pretty effective. A really nice work for a one-man game.

Seemed like simple game in the start, but gets scary and exciting very quickly

Totally felt like playing an old arcade based on a '60s movie. Awesome concept. Also nice play on both themes at the same time!
Keep up the good work!
