I absolutely enjoyed playing the game. The mechanics are fun and novel. Overall, the combination of real-time mechanics with turn-based mechanics was very interesting to me. The soundtrack fits the game nicely and can be listened to repeatedly. It's pity that, for example, root growing or some other interactions don't have their own sounds but that's more of a minor thing. As for the controls, I would appreciate it if I didn't have to go all the way up to buy an upgrade and activate it (but I don't know if that's a design intention). I think with more development, this is a title that would do well on Steam. Oh, and I found a bug. When you click on the same place for a long time, the mole will appear even if the player hasn't put more roots.
For me, this is overall one of the best games I've played on this jam. Very cool idea. Good job!
