In one world, you are a group of druids defending a grove from trespassers. Nature's wrath shall come upon those who do not belong; from their corpses, the earth shall spring anew.

In another, you're a group of friends on a lonely winter evening, having decided to have some fun with some graph paper and pens.

How long can you defend this grove?

!!! The game appears to be currently broken when running on Macintosh computers. We are working on a fix. !!!


Game Core

You start the game controlling three Druid units. Each unit under your control can move and shoot. Every turn, you can seed Sprouts, which require fertilizer. Luckily for you, a lovely batch of fertilizer is currently invading your front lawn.

Fertilized Sprouts grow into Plants. Plants arranged in specific patterns can be harvested to get different units.

The game ends when you have lost all units. Try to get the highest score you can!

Controls

  • LEFT MOUSE BUTTON for pretty much all actions.
  • RIGHT MOUSE BUTTON to cancel actions.
  • Hover over units to read about them.

Very enjoyable game.

I also had that cross origin error, but I can play just fine at the direct link https://html.itch.zone/html/7148269/0_7_hf2/index.html

On turn 51 the game became unresponsive instead of placing enemies. It’s probably because I almost fully encircled the playing field with plants, lol. Though another noteworthy event was a monstrosity killing another monstrosity just before.

Error

The following features required to run Godot projects on the Web are missing:

Cross Origin Isolation - Check web server configuration (send correct headers)

SharedArrayBuffer - Check web server configuration (send correct headers)

Yup, it seems that you're not the only person with this problem. We've added downloadable versions of the game, maybe try checking if those work for you?

This rules!

Was finally able to live long enough to summon all the creatures. How many different enemy types are there? The furthest I've made it is the captain of war.

Aww, I'm glad to hear that you're enjoying the game! The Captain is indeed the last enemy. ^^ 

What's the highest score that you've managed to get?

Oh I don't remember. It was a couple of rounds after I saw my first captain. I think my score was somewhere in the 10-20 pts range

I'm using Firefox v108.0.2 and I got the following error:

  • Error

Gah, I have no idea what's causing this. The stuff that the error is asking for is already enabled, otherwise the game wouldn't work on any machine. >.>
