It would be nice if you could find a way to balance it so that we don't lose on the first try. Maybe a tutorial mode, or an ideal placement for the first flower would help discover the game.","format":"md","likes":0,"spam":"N"},{"id":873685,"author_name":"Sarah Alexa","author_uid":"sarah-alexa","epoch":1665081609,"text":"I like the art, the placement of things seems to work well and I like the idea of tower defence with 10 second waves but the game was far too difficult imo. Because you start with so little money, it's hard to survive one wave and you get so little money that I found it almost impossible to expand towards having multiple plants. A little balancing and I think this would be pretty addictive!\n\nIt has a great mood though, I love the idea of having to defend a pumpkin and again I do love tower defence.

I liked the idea of being able to freeze and speedup the type of plants you had to change what you would need for the next wave. A suggestion to perhaps say what is going to be spawning next or reducing the cost of the plants to make it easier as I struggled to get by the 3rd level. The art style and music are nice though so I think if you do some balance changes post jam it would be a reasonable game.","format":"md","likes":0,"spam":"N"}],"format":"md","images":["ld51\/wayback-placeholder.png"],"links":[{"url":"https:\/\/slimefriend.itch.io\/prize-pumpkin-td","text":"Link"}],"metadata":{"g_key":"84681","g_author":"1165321","g_event":"LD51","g_eventkey":"114","g_subevent":"JAM","g_urlkey":"393269","g_title":"Prize
