“The forest is suffering from a curse, with vegetables sprouting from the soil, taking on a life of their own as they try to bury you six feet under. As a diligent gardener, take your seesaw launcher and set off in search of the source of the curse!”
Garden Slayer is our group’s submission for the Global Game Jam 2023. A fast FPS with homing seesaws flying about against crazy vegetables! There might even be a bossfight at the end…
In Garden Slayer, your goal is to get to the end of the level to destroy the Statue of Corruption to free the forest.
Hold the right mouse button to rotate the seesaw, and press left mouse to shoot it. Holding it (and shooting!) overheats a little the seesaw launcher, so spamming is not the best option (it is, due to the short recovery animation).
There are three different enemies going for you: The potato is the basic soldier, the carrot is extra-fast, and the turnip is the tank (and the final boss).
