I Hate Flowers
You hate flowers. Also, these flowers expand very aggressively.
Kill at least 50% of all flowers by end of winter or you lose.
New flowers appear in spring.
WARNING: In development, is kinda unbalanced <3
(I don´t actually hate flowers)

Made solo (see credits!) in ~48h for Spring 2D Jam 2026
Theme: Spring / Evolution
Timeline (GMT+2):
Friday (Jam Start - 04:00):
Thought about how to make a game from the theme. I did not get ideas.
Concluded it would have to do with flowers, so I began writing code to make "procedural" flowers from shapes. I was pretty satisfied with the result and added some logic. Plants that are near to each other could pollinate their neighbors, which resulted in new plants that took attributes from both parent flowers.
Saturday (13:00 - 03:00):
I continued way too long to improve the flowers, but did not have a game idea yet. In the late afternoon I made flowers disappear when clicking them and kinda liked the idea. At least it was more fun than other ideas I had before.
I embraced the clicker / upgrade style and concentrated on getting it playable.
I added the three super mystic upgrades at like 1AM and finished my first playable version by like 3AM.
Sunday (11:00 - 13:00):
I just did some balancing (not enough!) since we had family over in the afternoon.
I changed from AM/PM to 24h format since it seems I can´t get AM/PM right :D

Very good polish, actually played till level 40 because it was so satisfying! ^^
i like the strategy/RPG elements, the music is great, and the auto-attack feature is a great quality of life add. art style is super cute too and buying from the shop is fun - getting to increase my attack radius was really satisfying.
one potential thing you could add - during the gameplay maybe have power ups that spawn randomly on the map and you have to click them fast to get them else they disappear; just to add a little more variety to the game mechanic! but of course features vs time limit is always a factor in game jams!
and bonus funny note - after year ~7 i was able to buy Chain Lightning, Shatter, and Ignite in one go. and then Year 8 and 9 i beat in like 5 seconds whereas it was taking me prolly >30seconds to beat the years before it lol! buying all power ups and then re-roll to buy more is an OP strat :)
This is really good
