Don't swing at the swarm, sow a garden of weapon-plants and let them mow it down while you dodge.

How to play
A horde-survival auto-battler with a green thumb: you never attack directly. Instead you plant seeds that sprout into weapon-plants, and mature plants fire on the swarm automatically. Cultivate your garden, weave through enemies, and survive the wave for 60 seconds.
Pick a seed type, then plant it at your position to start growing a turret-plant.
Plants take time to mature before they begin firing, place them early.
Stay mobile: contact with enemies chips your health, and three strikes' worth ends the run.
Outlast the full 60-second swarm to win; score climbs with every kill.
Controls
Desktop: move with WASD or arrow keys; plant with Space/Enter or by tapping the arena; pick a seed with keys 1–4 or cycle with Q and E.
Phone & tablet: tap the arena to plant the selected seed, but a keyboard is recommended for movement.
Tips & strategy
Build overlapping firing ranges so no lane to your position is left undefended.
Plant during lulls, a seed caught mid-growth contributes nothing while you're being chased.
Mix short- and long-range plants so fast rushers and stragglers both get answered.
