Mediocre Game With A Fun Concept

Play: 6/10 The controls are remarkably tight for such a goofy and derided game. I jumped right in and thought I was doing well by shooting the tomatoes and staying alive. Turns out there is a trap element to this. As always, the manual was critical. Basically, you have to shoot the bricks to "capture" them and build walls above the tomato plants. It was fun, but not a favorite gameplay.
Feel: 7/10 As fun as it was building walls for a bit, it got old pretty quickly. Funny concept, reasonably well-executed, and excellent controls--but nothing special amid the sea of Atari action games. I don't dislike this game, as many bloggers seem to, but it also was quite forgettable.
Attachment: 6/10 Easily moving on. I even returned to this a couple weeks later, but even tho the controls are super tight, it wasn't worth playing for long. Plus, I feel a cold or flu coming on again, I am so sick of being sick! I miss when everyone was wearing masks and keeping distance--I didn't get a cold, flu, or COVID during that whole time! Booooo I hate being sick it gets in the way of my healthy routines and gaming.
Playtime: ~30 mins
