About this game
Huge and dangerous bugs are attacking you. Grow mutated plants that can shoot and defend themselves. Build Grow a reliable defense so that the bugs cannot break the core.
Gameplay
The gameplay loop of the game looks like this:
Plant
Plant seeds in the soil so that crops can grow from them
Grow
Take care of plants during the day and support the balance of nutrients in the ecosystem.
Mutate
Select several plants and apply the secret growth formula on them.
They will mutate into “towers” and will be able to protect you and the entire base.Defend
At night you are attacked by bugs and your tower-plants fire at them.
You too can join in the battle with your own pistol to save the situation, but be careful...
How long will you last?
Game Features
Customizable enemy path.
Bugs do not follow prepared paths.
Everyone has their own AI and they constantly analyze the situation and choose to move in a certain direction.
Ultimately, all bugs move towards the player or towards the core, but there are baits.
With their help, you can direct enemies in some direction or lure them into deadly zones.
"Spices" for towers.
Grow new types of plants which can be made into spices.
Apply them to towers and receive an upgrade.
Additional damage or an enemy health filter...
Well-developed nutrient mechanics
Simply planting the seeds and waiting is not enough for growing good plants.
The game has a nutrient exchange system.
For example, potatoes secrete the nutrient "Potatium", which in large quantities slows down the growth of potatoes.
Thus, after some time, they will need to be moved to another soil or other vegetables planted in order to restore the nutrient balance.
Tower Defense + Farming
This game is a unique combination of Tower Defense and Farming genres.
During the day you tend to your garden.
Plant seeds, grow plants and care for them.
At night, bugs attack and the game turns into Tower Defense.
Mutated plants act as “towers” and protect you from enemies.
