Plant Budz 98

I picked this up because I love idle desktop pet games, so I didn't even read the description that closely... I was FIGHTING BATTLES HAHAH genuinely wasn't expecting that at all. The mix of a cozy desktop pet simulator and all these completely different game genres is such a fun idea. Probably one of the most unique indie games I've played in a while. i also LOVE the aesthetics!!

Honestly, such a cool concept. I thought it was just a retro desktop pet game, but when your pet evolves, the game completely changes. Evolving into a fish turns the game into a space shooter with boss fights on different planets, and evolving into the cat drops you into a first-person castle shooter (the cat mode is easily the best part of the game, so much fun). It's a bit open-ended at the very start and the ship movement speed in the space mode could be a tiny bit faster to match the cursor, but the visual style is awesome and the gameplay loop is super satisfying. Definitely grab this if you want a unique, nostalgic arcade challenge!

This game is awesome. The pixel art is adorable, the music is fantastic and i think I've tried pretty much every mini game now and each of them is so fun and challenging. My only tiny nitpick is the Game Over screen. It'd be nice if there was just a quick Retry or Back to Menu button instead of it sitting there. Other than that, I had a blast. This is such a fun little indie game with a lot of personality, and I definitely recommend giving it a try.

so impressed with this game, its very cute and silly, I also wasn't expecting it to get as challenging as it did in some places, which made finally beating parts of it really satisfying. It really feels like the developers had a lot of fun making it, and that energy comes through in every little detail. I'm genuinely surprised this isn't more known because it's such a memorable little indie game. 1000000/10. Go give this one some love!! :D

Plant Budz 98 is a fun and creative game with a lot of variety. I really enjoyed how it combines virtual pets with different gameplay styles, so the experience always feels fresh and unexpected. The game has a unique personality and is easy to enjoy. One thing I noticed is that some enemies can blend into the background because their colors are sometimes too similar. I also think some enemies could be a little more challenging. It would be nice to have a **Restart** button on the Game Over screen instead of needing to press **Esc**. Overall, it’s an entertaining and original game with a lot of charm.

the retro desktop theme is honestly one of my favorite parts of this game. It feels like messing around on an old family computer as a kid again and i loved how each pet unlocks its own mini game, i think the Cat and Fish evolution mini games were my favorites.
