Good day! And thank you for looking at my game!

Flowers and shadows is a 3rd person gardening tower defense made in the bevy game engine for the 15th Pirate jam. You play as a white stag protecting a magic tree from the flood of shadows barreling down the hills. You collect magic that fall from the tree, and plant seeds to infuse them with magic to create different plants.

  • Red - rose - distributes damage between enemies in range
  • Blue - glory-of-the-snow - slows all enemies in range
  • Green - cactus - damages all enemies in range with full damage

After plants are grown you need to further infuse them with magic to increase their stats

  • Red - damage
  • Blue - range
  • Green - nothing ðŸ˜…

I was a solo-dev and may have bitten off more than I could chew with this gamejam, especially with all the fancy things I was learning for shaders. Unfortunately there's no sound in the game, or menu's, or a restart button, or any semblance of quality of life.  Hopefully the description controls will make the game more understandable.

  • W-A-S-D to move. 
  • Hold E to place a seed on the ground,
  • Use 1/2/3 to feed the seed red/green/blue magic that'll turn it into a turret.
    • Once a seed has enough magic to grow it'll show a colored rim around it's symbol. Leave it for a few seconds to have it grow into a plant
  • Once a seed has changed into a plant, keep using 1/2/3 to feed it with more magic to watch it grow.

External assets used for this jam

Thanks so much to these amazing people for providing these amazing assets for free. Without them I would not have been able to complete nearly as much as I was able to.
