Weed Em Out!

Instead of tending to and making the perfect garden. This game gets you into the weeds of things and have you create the perfect weed to spread like wildfire across any garden.  Weed Em Out! Was created in 48 hours for the GMTK 2023 Game Jam!

The theme of the game jam was Rolls Reversed! So to fit with this theme I decided to take on the genera of a simple farming game but instead of taking care of your plants and growing a cart of produce, you engineer the strongest Weed to take over the garden!

How to play

CLick in the garden! Clicking in an open space consumes chloroplast and produces a new weed in the garden.

These new weeds then produce more chloroplast that you can use to upgrade different aspects of your weed.

Upgrads:

This Decreases how much chloroplast it takes to plant a new weed

This Increases how much chloroplast you get per plant

This is a plants percentage chance to die when sprayed with poison

This is the chance for a plant to create a copy to an adjacent space.  (If this happens then the plant doesnt produce any chloroplast)

This is the coverage meter, it displayes how much of the guarden you have covered in your weeds with the green part and percentage amount. The red part displays how much the garden is covered in flowers.

When a flower is adjacent to 3 or more weeds that flower gets choked of its nutrientsand dies, so try to suround the flowers!

So can you engineer the perfect plant to take over the garden? Or will the gardener snip your plans in the budd before they can flower?

Known Bugs: The gardener can sometimes get stuck and won't perform actions
