I am happy to announce that CHLOROPHYTER: HERBAL ASSAULT! a 2D indie Fighting Game about House Plants, is in development and coming along nicely.
It is a simple fighting game made on the open source Ikemen GO engine. Check out some early footage complete with royalty free music!

The game only uses a single button for attacks, despite this, the game still uses traditional fighting game commands, so characters have surprisingly large and varied movepools. Another unique feature of this game is Sunlight. Plants need sunlight to use their attacks. Not only that, they need it to run and block too. Plants use sunlight for everything. You automatically gain sunlight during the course of the match, but each plant also features unique methods for gaining sunlight more quickly. For example the Sunflower can stretch out really tall and gather sunlight twice as quickly so long as she holds the pose. The robot flower (yes, robot flower) can place down solar panels on the stage to increase her solar power.
The game is planned to feature 10 playable house plants, an arcade mode with unique stories for each plant, a boss fight, online play (currently planned to be P2P. Matchmaking and rollback are currently out of reach for me.), and a few bonus game modes.

ROUND 1! LET’S GROW!
