the gameplay feels slow, and the tutorial is covering most of the screen. overall nice game, good graphics and sound effects and it integrated the theme well.

Ah, this brings back memories. Loved Plants v Zombies. I really liked all the different parasites with their effects. I did softlock myself a few times by spending everything then having nothing left for energy generation. Nevertheless, good entry!

Cool take on PvsZ. Love all the different units and the game felt really cohesive. Had a blast playing it.

Very cool! I must admit I have never played Plants vs Zombies, so perhaps that made it a little harder for me to catch on. I sort of had to find some things out the hard way, like what does it mean for a human to "see" a parasite, before I understood how it worked. However, was still a fun game and I managed to beat it without too much difficulty once I got the hang of it. I enjoy games where you have to balance on offense vs support, so nice job implementing the different parasite types. I had fun trying to stack as many rows of the green guys as I could while still maintaining enough firepower to ward off those pesky humans. Great job!

Really nice submission, I liked what you did with the zombies turned into people with smartphones :P

The graphics were super clear and the animation felt very smooth. It was good to have a complete tutorial to learn the game, it helped me to enjoy it! Congrats :D

It's a nice entry ! I wish it was a little bit more difficult, for I was able to complete it without loosing a life

I really liked the twist on PvZ.  I think a bit of balance and polish could make this a really fun game.

Classic tower defense and tho this isn't my fav game genre, it was well executed with a few twists on the theme.


Not bad, but a little slow to start off. Nice little jam entry :)

This was fun! I’ve never played Plants vs Zombies, but this still worked well for me. All of the different types of parasites felt very different and like they all had their place and a reasonable cost, which is often not how I feel with this type of a game, so nicely done!

This game is both fun and challenging! I like the concept which ties into the theme, plus it involves planning and strategy

I definitely did not expect a plants vs zombies style game. You pulled it off perfectly and the audio heavily reminded me of old school spyro in a good way. Lots of depth here and overall a ton of fun. You also turned up the difficulty in a great way where the game became more challenging but definitely not too hard.

Cool game, really clean and well done for a game jam game, although I wish the humans would move a bit faster from the get-go

Nice job. Seems like there is a lot of cool stuff here,  but the tutorial window was blocking the gameboard for me.
