Made in 48 hours for the Kenney Game Jam 2022! The theme was: Growth.


You are a lone gardener who is being attacked by a horde of skeletons who are jealous of your garden! Protect your garden, and yourself from these evil skeletons!

Controls:

WASD - Move
Q/E       - Switch tools (Plant Cactus, Plant Tree, Sword)
Click     - Use equipped tool

Instructions:

Plant plants to help protect your garden.
Cactus - Less health, deals damage to skeletons
Tree - More health, deals no damage

You can only plant a plant if you have at least one seed for it. Skeletons occasionally drop these seeds on death.

You are also able to attack the skeletons yourself using your sword.

Game Over when either you or your home/garden takes enough damage.

This is quite a fun  spin on tower defence, or forting up! I especially like the graphics for it, don't know why but they seem really toy like, which makes them endearing. 

The controls are surprisingly good for the size of the sprites although it gets a bit hard to cycle through them when there's like 30 skeletons on the field. Perhaps putting them to 1-2-3 instead could be an alternative, so the player can always press one for sword in a panic?

Really enjoyed it!

i think having hotkeys for the individual tools is a magnificent idea. Thanks for the feedback!
