[ DOWNLOAD LINK BELOW ]
( Windows version runs best! )
A game by NPJarcade, written in one week for LowRezJam 2025.
- CONTROLS -
[WASD] or [ARROWS] : move around
[LMB] : pick up tools, spray hose, open shop etc.
[RMB] or [SPACE] : drop tool
[SCROLL WHEEL] : change hose type (after buying upgrades)
[ESC] : pause, exit shop
- INFO -
You've chosen a great spot for your new garden! Shame about that haunted graveyard though...
Dig holes to plant crops and water the plants with your hose to help them grow!
Once the crops are fully grown, sell them and use your hard earned cash to upgrade your hose and buy more seeds!
When the night falls, spooky ghosts will come out and haunt your garden.
PRO TIPS!
Spray ghosts with water until they're stunned, then whack them with a shovel to keep them away!
If you've got no crops left, the ghosts will come for you instead!
Try out different hose nozzles and tools to maximise your stopping power.

The game feels like a neat combination of a farming game + a weird tower defense game. My poor little brain was confused a few times on the gird vs free aim vs auto hit difference between the different tools. Sometimes I felt like the shovel failed to auto swing at the enemeis, but otherwise you have a cool entry in your hands.
Graphically the game is gorgeous, we do have jam game audio levels sadly, as it started waay to loud. Enjoyed the 32 bit sprites as a fellow retro enjoyer. Well done!
