How it feels

You are a garden gnome defending your colorful vegetable patch from waves of enemies, balancing farming and combat through the seasons.

What players say

Players praise the charming pixel art and clever concept, but many report a persistent bug where units get stuck in the house during healing, breaking runs. The game is described as short (under an hour for a run) and surprisingly difficult, with janky controls that make hectic moments frustrating.
