DevLog #2 Playtest LIVE! Get set, PLANT

Greetings Gardeners! 🥬

It’s time to get down and dirty in Planted’s very first Playtest! Running from May 25th (today!) until June 1st, you and up to three friends can take on two of the modes available from the main game.

Limited Playtest

To join the fun, Request Access to our Playtest on our Steam Page. If accepted, you can invite up to three friends to go head to head in some extreme gardening through the Invite Friends button.

Sign ups will be ongoing throughout the entire Playtest so keep an eye on your inbox to see if you’ve been accepted. Sow chaos, and reap the rewards, during an entire week of produce pandemonium before the Playtest ends on June 1st.

Maps & Modes

Choose your gardener! Play as Gus, Rolly, Nell, and Su, then head down to either The Allotment or The Stadium stages, shrub off your rivals and squash the competition!

They say an onion never forgets but in case you missed our Playtest Announcement, The Allotment is the place to be for any aspiring agriculturalist. With four equal plots, you’ll need to sow, grow, and throw your goods into the back of a truck to score points.

Steam post imageTop up the watering can in the nearby lake or pick up stray water balloons to get your goods to a healthy size. While you’re at it, nab yourself some fertiliser to make some truly monstrous melons! Or, if you’d rather trade in your green fingers for some sticky ones, steal your opponents hard earned goods for yourself.

Once you’ve conquered the basics it’s time to head to the big leagues of The Stadium. Compete in teams of two to score the most points by lobbing your veggies into the opponents net. But you’ll need to work together to grow greens good enough for scoring goals … while making sure your own net is protected, of course!

You’ll have plenty of plant-based power ups at your disposal depending on which map you’re heading to. Make use of the Weed Bomb and the Vegejector in the Allotment to sabotage your rivals or protect your goal with the Strategic Scarecrow and Spud Turret in the Stadium.
