Hello everyone!

First off,  I'm sorry for taking so long to update the game, but... Beta 1 is released! I have added a lot of new content, bugfixes, and reworks in this update. Thank you so much for the feedback! I'll try to go over some changes in this post, but it's better if you just play the game yourself! I HIGHLY reccomend creating a new save file, since there are a lot of differences in the code between Test Version 2 and Beta 1, so if you use an old save, stuff might get quirky or corrupted. 

Update Notes :

-  Major New Game Mechanics  -

Plantfood/PF System -  I have added a new meter to battles - Plantfood! This was created to mitigate the RNG some plants have. You get PF by using plants and killing zombies, and spend it to boost plant skills or use powerups! Not every plant currenly has a PF ability currently,  though.

Equipment System - Also new this update is a minor equipment system for the house and pots. You can get equipment from Reward Vouchers and it gives you small boosts to Max HP, Max Sun, DMG Dealt, and DMG Received! The higher the rarity, the better the stats! I hope you find it fun to mix and match and create different builds!

Rainbow Stars - Zombies might now drop Rainbow Stars, a new currency! It can be exchanged for reward vouchers and other goodies at the Seeds of Time area. Every boss is guaranteed to drop 3!

"Special" Skills - You already know the Attack, Support, and Potted plants. But now there's "Special"! They aren't exactly plants, more like powerups that can only be used once per battle, and only need PF to be used! They can be unlocked at the Seeds of Time area!

- New Areas - 

•  Fairytale Forest  - A new world, with 10 levels, a new Grind Battle stage, and a Dark Ages Cameo!

• Seeds of Time - This new area serves as a place to spend your Rainbow Stars! You might also find some other stuff there...
