Captain springleaf might need a few clarifications/fixes to be a bit more viable in my opinion:
Mainly, there are quite a lot of things the aiderbots cannot target, like the red/yellow/green crystals, which isn't too bad as you can just manouver the crystals to be between the bots and a hedge they would otherwise shoot at, but the real problem with their targeting is that in the wallum toad fight they can't target the other enemies which makes the fight way harder because you basically have to stand inside the enemies to shoot them, so you always get hit by the deathrattle.
Also, the whole shock damage system is kinda confusing, i'd always assumed that it added damage to your laser but it doesn't damage the dummy, so what does it actually do?
Thanks for the feedback, I’m working on a pretty massive update right now so this is valuable info. I’ll work on making sure the aiderbots target the correct entities and find a way to explain shock damage
But until then, enemies inflicted by shock take extra damage from aiderbots. I can’t remember if it’s an addition or multiplier but the more shock you have the more bonus damage you get
In the power couple challenge, is it intentional that your gold and keys reset each level, and hp resets to base camellia, because if not we have a bug?
I thought that there was no max to HP, I was going to get 100% dodge with swain, but now I capped at 85%. Still an easy cursed tree and perfect week achievement
whirling death 2.0. In my opinion Wollum and conqueror are endurance battles, which makes swain my new favorite character, also I like his shruiken boomerangs and the shopkeeper's dislike of him.
Thx because back on the 3.1 patch I really liked messing with swain using range up items, I also find it hilarious how large cholla's sword gets when you have the birdhouse rage buff up.
Bugged or not, I have my way to unlock swain, wooden bones plus jack, but I did a blood sacrifice, meaning i now have 0HP, meaning I am always maxed and getting the buff
(edit) I now realize that I'm kind of stupid for having 0 health from the blood sacfrifice, but I got an aloe from wollum toad 1, so I'm fine on the way to loop 2
(edit edit) BRO I GOT SHATTER SHOTS ON JACK AND IT SHATTERS THE MISSILES! I can now raze the earth with 1 missile
that would be pretty cool! Although I've heard that creating online multiplayer specifically, can be pretty difficult. I'm not sure about local multiplayer though, perhaps it's simpler? Idk XD
I kinda like the new universe update, Being able to see what hedges have coins is nice, but not being able to download this game for free is meh, atleast there is the webversion to play this game for free.
Im not a fan of being unable to use the duplicate ability on item dropped by bosses in the boss levels.
Also a way to increase the damage dealt by the rockoli would be really nice as currently the rockoli is weaker than the bloodcoli in every aspect, it needs a way to become useful
The problem with the firewood item is, that the only way to set a hedge on fire is, if i hit the hedge with a bullet and only if the hedge survives the hit, if instead any damage dealt to hedges set them on fire, that would make for an interesting synergy with venus, the item that allows me to deal damage hedges by directly touching them.
A very situational but a synergy nonetheless.
I misunderstood what the item venus does.
Also what if, destroying a hedge would cause adjacent hedges to catch fire?
That way the item firewood would be useful, even if i can already 1shot hedges.
Also the game is prone to lagging, if im firing with high rate of fire past the first loop.
I love this game, the items are fun and the game play is engaging but I cant figure out how to unlock the pumpkin character. it says to "Beat Halloween" to unlock but I can't figure out what that means.
I like that the item that was supposed to increase damage after hitting a hedge, even though i never noticed a difference, now noticeably increases my rate of fire after i hit a hedge.
Most of the new items are ok, avocrito, membership and patricks clover are nice is nice, sunflower is ok.
Firewood and that new item that says that it allows my shots to eat trough hedges are meh, hedges have usually way less health than the actual enemies.
I have a suggestion for both items.
Since firewood is normally used to fuel fire, wich produces light, what if picking up the firewood item increased how far i can see when its dark?
And for the new item that allows to eat trough hedges, slightly increasing my chance for chests would be better.
I dont know what bismuth flower and venus do since i didnt find them.
If you join the discord we are currently working on a tool for checking item effects and values, more than half the items in the game are currently viewable so far
And of course feel free to ask me any questions you might have!
I like that the extra miniguns from the minigun item now aim at the position of my crosshair.
Increasing the damage that the rockolli does on hit is also nice, its just that, no matter how many damage increasing items i pickup, unlike shots from the bloodcolli, the damage per hit stays the same.
Also the item that is supposed to increase the power of status effects, has no effect on the poison status effect.
The new item that increases my damage in exchange for making enemy shots faster is ok, but its model when shown in the shop is way too big.
sir when I started playing the game today I held the mouse down to rabid fire but it didn't work and I have to tap the mouse to shoot so can you please fix that as tapping to mouse to shoot slowly is useful to kill the pests that move around but holding the mouse to rapid fire is useful for killing pests that don't move that much.
It is stupid because the only way I can gain enough fire rate quick enough is by picking up the fire hose which means I will have to sacrifice my damage for automatic shooting and it is also to kill pests mainly if they stay still because the pink worms are easily killed with automatic shooting but is harder to kill them just by tapping to should only be for pests that move around so this new feature if you can even call it that is a disgrace to this game so if you still want me to play it which I do just about everyday remove this feature for the sake of this game. Also do you understand how much harder it is to get a perfect run with no hits it made it over ten times harder then it already was so change it back to be able to switch from non-automatic shooting and automatic shooting when ever you feel like it. Also it is easier to get hit now. Also it makes it extremely harder to beat the second boss without getting hit which is already hard as it is to beat the second boss.
The idea of non-automatic fire is actually interesting, it just needs to have benefits.
For extra damage when not spamming shots with full rate of fire, for example.
If i can fire full auto two shots per second for 2 damage per hit, if i intentionally only fire once per second, each shot will deal 4,5 damage per hit.
Full automatic fire against enemies with low health and non-automatic fire against enemies with high health.
Or non-automatic fire having higher chances for effects from items like the bombpods to work, or applying stronger versions of poison to enemies.
This game is incredibly fun! My only complaint is that there is no way to check what an item does after you have picked it up. Besides that, I love this game!

Thanks for the explanations
is too dorlors now o.o
In the power couple challenge, is it intentional that your gold and keys reset each level, and hp resets to base camellia, because if not we have a bug?
That sounds like a bug yeah, thanks for letting me know
I thought that there was no max to HP, I was going to get 100% dodge with swain, but now I capped at 85%. Still an easy cursed tree and perfect week achievement
whirling death
also way too much pollen, I am basically invincible, though my damage is not great
whirling death 2.0. In my opinion Wollum and conqueror are endurance battles, which makes swain my new favorite character, also I like his shruiken boomerangs and the shopkeeper's dislike of him.
crash report:
Whenever I have two spirits of the tree and 5 charges and I fire Jack's missile, the game will crash 90% of the time,
the projectile is literally the size of the screen, and the frame that it launches the game crashes
fix trestles plus Jack, it turns it into a 0.05 dmg machine gun rather than triple shotgun
I reached loop 3 but didn't unlock swain (loop 3 1-1)
I’ll take a look at those bugs, thanks for letting me know

got to loop 7 then suicided to try out swain
Good game
nice
This game would be so much fun if it had multiplayer
that would be pretty cool! Although I've heard that creating online multiplayer specifically, can be pretty difficult. I'm not sure about local multiplayer though, perhaps it's simpler? Idk XD
local multiplayer would be interesting
I love this game!!! Nicely done
Thanks, I'm really glad you enjoyed it!

orbitals are fun
the game freezes when i go to the first shop for some reason

Thanks so much!
To unlock Jack you must beat the Halloween challenge in “challenges”
The challenge is unlocked by beating the game for the first time
Good luck!

Is there a wiki? I would greatly appreciate details on how different upgrades stack such as the sunflower.

love the uniqueness of the characters and play style

Thumbtacks large sprite should be fixed in v3.2.3b
Let me know if it somehow isn't fixed
Thanks for the feedback
The sprite size is fixed, its now normal sized.
sir when I started playing the game today I held the mouse down to rabid fire but it didn't work and I have to tap the mouse to shoot so can you please fix that as tapping to mouse to shoot slowly is useful to kill the pests that move around but holding the mouse to rapid fire is useful for killing pests that don't move that much.
I’m testing out a new feature where you press shoot instead of hold it
Once you reach a high enough firerate however it will become automatic again
The hope is to make shooting feel more engaging, fun and use more skill
Let me know what you think after a bit more playtime
It is stupid because the only way I can gain enough fire rate quick enough is by picking up the fire hose which means I will have to sacrifice my damage for automatic shooting and it is also to kill pests mainly if they stay still because the pink worms are easily killed with automatic shooting but is harder to kill them just by tapping to should only be for pests that move around so this new feature if you can even call it that is a disgrace to this game so if you still want me to play it which I do just about everyday remove this feature for the sake of this game. Also do you understand how much harder it is to get a perfect run with no hits it made it over ten times harder then it already was so change it back to be able to switch from non-automatic shooting and automatic shooting when ever you feel like it. Also it is easier to get hit now. Also it makes it extremely harder to beat the second boss without getting hit which is already hard as it is to beat the second boss.
I’ll be bringing it back later today I think
I’ll try having tap shooting be an optional mechanic for slightly higher firerate
Do not bring that back just keep it the same because it will just mess it up either way.
The idea of non-automatic fire is actually interesting, it just needs to have benefits.
For extra damage when not spamming shots with full rate of fire, for example.
If i can fire full auto two shots per second for 2 damage per hit, if i intentionally only fire once per second, each shot will deal 4,5 damage per hit.
Full automatic fire against enemies with low health and non-automatic fire against enemies with high health.
Or non-automatic fire having higher chances for effects from items like the bombpods to work, or applying stronger versions of poison to enemies.
Does this game update automatically or do I have to update it manually
If you play on browser it will automatically update but if you download the game (recommended) then you’ll have to redownload the game each update
This game is incredibly fun! My only complaint is that there is no way to check what an item does after you have picked it up. Besides that, I love this game!
Thanks so much!
