Reviews for "Shrubbery."

Really nice game

This game is really unique and entertaining, but I found a bug where you could go out of the playing area. But still think you deserve a 10/10. Good job.

Here's a suggestion

There's a very big identity crisis with this game. The lack of the ability to shoot, relaxing music and entire concept of replanting the forest all seems to point squarely at the relaxing casual game lot. Yet health regen is super slow to non-existant, and even early boss fights are approaching bullet hell with difficult dodging lattices.

If you don't want to reconsider the 'core' of your game, I would simply suggest making an alternate difficulty setting for those of us who actually enjoy 'time waster' games. Add a setting where health will refill between levels. Or simply impliment a 'no pressure' infinate health mode where your goal is to get 100% on replanting the forest rather than trying to stay alive -and- increasing the percentage.

It's just too difficult for the laid back vibe it seems to want to give off.

useless tutorial

I beat the first boss and two levels however despite getting the health regeneration ability; my health didn't regenerate!
Either this is a glitch or it is the fualt of yor tutorial not saying how to use abilities. The upgrade points I got from the boss were useless I mean I use them to upgrade my seeds from 1 to 1.1. Nevermind that I amanged to get these strange clouds at the back of my ship. I don't know if they were smoke from my lack of health or flowers from something else but that's just another detail your tutorial forgot about.

Pause

I would have given it a 10 if there was a pause button.

Mostly crap

The game itself was a decent concept but failed on several levels. The levels were arduous, the abilities mostly useless, and the boss fights were much more boring and pointless bullet-hell ripoffs. The "points" from beating the bosses gave the player a hardly-noticeable "advantage" in the selected areas, but I couldn't tell if they really did anything or not.
Also I played through it like twice and couldn't get past the last boss with all but the last powerup. Man, honestly, this game...
