About this game
Defend the Tree of Life from hordes of Nibblers that surge along the paths! To do this, you can grow plants of all kinds to eliminate the threat. Meet the simple leaf that crushes, the slowing roots or even the thorns which hurt or carnivorous plants devouring armor. You can choose, depending on the situations, what will be the best weapon to use!
You will have to go throught 8 biomes, crossing jungles, swamps, deserts and more...
You will have access to 5 main types of plants, which you can then mutate into more powerful versions!
A mutation keeps all the bonuses of its previous versions. You will be able to adapt your battlefield by specializing each of your shoots, without losing the benefits of the basic versions!
In addition to classic plants, you will be able to use the power of an active skill you can trigger on the field! Store pollen so you can use it and add different effects to this area of effect, depending on what flowers you grow!
You can upgrade your plants in the garden and make them stronger and have new capacities!
Each map contains a seed that need to be released from rocks, unlocking new plants, bonus maps or the possibility of pushing further the bonus on all maps. This bonus objective will sometimes require you to mobilize your forces elsewhere than on enemies directly, plan carefully!
Replay old maps to push further the rippening and choose your challenge level, making the game harder and harder, but with more rewards!
This game is entirely made by a human, without any help from generative AI. May it be for graphic or music production, engine development, or whatever other part, it is important to me to give a personnal production, from a human to other humans.

It means that your actual progression will be kept and all associated success will be unlocked at the first opportunity.Meta progression and balanceThe power of purchased garden upgrades has been significantly increased, reinforcing the importance of meta-progression. Upgrading a plant now has a greater impact and makes it even stronger, a feeling that was previously mixed.Map ripening objectives, particularly at high levels, have been revised downwards, to offer shorter games and give more impact to the bonus objective.Miscellaneous fixesI took the opportunity to fix some minor bugs and install a better version of Unity.Read full article on Community Announcements (axelis)Patch NotesOfficial
