As our very first original game, please forgive us as we take a moment to say... cripes, what a start to our journey so far! There have been heaps of emotions now we're out in the wild. Screaming, crying, throwing up, you know, the usual when you first unveil a game. Planted! has been a sponge for all of our silly ideas over the past few years here at Cloth Cat Games, so to have folks already enjoying what we have has honestly been humbling. We've had a tonne of great feedback as well as so |
