It's Hard to Be a Gardener

It's hard for Johnny Cookman to be a gardener. After all, it seems like bugs and creepy crawlies just can't stop going onto his lawn and spoiling all his hard-earned produce. What's the solution to this problem? Why, to give them something to chew on instead!

This is a hybrid of a platformer and tower defence game. It consists of young Johnny traversing his local shopping centre in a limited time to find ammunition, and fighting back those that threaten to infest his garden by shooting and throwing food at them. How long can Johnny (and you, the player) hold out in this continual loop of chaos and desperation? Well, that's for you to find out.
