The insects are attacking! (or is it the other way around?)
It is your duty to defend the plant commander from the swarms using all your plant comrades.
Remember: insects don't always play fair. So, why would you?

(Made for the 2021.2 Brackeys Game Jam, theme "Let there be chaos")

Known issues:

  • When un-focusing the frame and focusing it again during the 2.08 minutes of the game will cause the loop portion of the OST to begin early,  overlapping with the introduction part.
    • Fixes: use the full screen mode, download the game or just wait for the intro (2.08 minutes) to end
  • The score system is not really ideal. The formula that gives you your score is insects killed + money you have at the end * 2 - tower you lost
    • Fixes: use this knowledge to your advantage

Hi! I am playing and streaming top-50 overall games today/tomorrow (starting September 12th at 16:00 UTC and likely for 4-5 hours minimum): https://itch.io/jam/brackeys-6/topic/1640613/streaming-top-ranked-games-on-septe...

I'll play your game anyway, but it will be nice to have you on stream:) If you plan to join the stream, please let me know and I will wait for you to actually join before playing your game (let me know when you join in the stream chat). If you can't make it to this stream, but still would like to see your game being played live - let me know as well and I'll postpone your game till the next stream.

Keep in mind though that I am typically quite honest and if you join the stream be prepared to hear what I actually think about the game, which might quite disagree with the rankings.
