Machine Gun Gardener
Progress to the next level by continuously keeping all four of your garden's health meters above zero. If at any point their health meter reaches 0, the game is over.
Keep gardens healthy by clearing the area and standing inside the damaged zones to heal and progress.
Unlock power-up rewards and perks along the way by completing levels.
Pick off enemies one by one with your blaster or cause mass destruction by combining special weapon attacks, the choice is yours. The fate of your gardens rests in your hands!

whens the next update?
Hey, no updates are planned as of now, but open to ideas.
do turrets have a time limit?
Hi there. No, turrets are not based on a time limit, they disappear after they've shot 100 times.
thanks!
Sure thing!
Honestly a super great game! It has fun mechanics, pumps you with adrenaline in higher levels, and tons of secrets, even though its super hard to even just get to level ten, you can beat any level as long as you have the right strategy. The MGG Horde gamemode is like COD zombies but less terrifying, this is a good game that can be played by all ages without negetive comments. Great game!
Thanks for the awesome and kind words. I really love hearing when people are enjoying this crazy game, it makes all the time I put into it worth it! :)
Managed to reach level 11!
Nice work, super impressive! I’m imagining how crazy your final moments must have looked! Thanks for playing!
This is an amazing game, I have beaten it 5 times. I love how the achievements are the upgrades!
Thank you! I'm so happy you enjoy the game, that means a lot to here!
this game is so high quality, everything is so well made,
stright up masterpiece.🙌
Thank you my friend, your comment made my day!
animal abuse. 10/10- IGN
love artstyle and gameplay :D nice game
I really like your game but how do i unlock the secret level?
Hi there, thanks for your comment! The Horde Mode level can be accessed by clicking "Start" then clicking the next arrow then clicking "Play". Horde mode is intentionally hard and might require some unlocking of upgrades to beat. Let me know if you have any other questions and thanks for playing!
I feel like I just read an ad
game lagy mouse sensitivity to high I can't do crap and my fps is too high
Thanks for the feedback, sorry to hear the game was laggy. Were you playing the browser version? If so, try clearing your browser cache or download a Mac or PC version instead.
For mouse sensitivity, there's an option in the controls to adjust.
Hope this helps.
Thanks for posting! I have no idea why your comments keep getting suspended. Your walk-through video looks awesome.
Thanks

Kill them :)i really wish this ran smoothly (it currently runs at a rate of 2.5 fps) on my computer because this looks like tons of fun, but its old, so once i get my new one i will definitely come back to this
Yikes, that's no good. I built this game on a 10 year old HP EliteBook 8740w laptop, so I notice it chokes up in later levels as more enemies spawn in at once. But I've never experienced 2.5fps. I also notice lower performance when playing directly in the browser. Definitely try downloading this to a faster machine, would be great to get your thoughts on the game. Thanks for the review!
***Updated Oct 27, 2020***
Recently I noticed that every WebGL game I was playing using Google Chrome was giving my really bad FPS, however, things ran smoothly in FireFox. I updated Google Chrome to the latest version and WebGL games run smoother now. Hope this helps.
Need more BOMBS!!!!
Yes! Thinking about adding a secret code for +100 bombs or something like that...
That makes me so happy to hear, what an honor! I'm glad you enjoyed that game and was able to figure out how totally destructive the flamethrower can be!
honestly really fun! pretty hard though, my only complaint really is when your not in full screen if you trying to look around and your cusor gors outside the game, you have to drag it back in. but thats probobly itchs fault
Hi Chaos315, thanks for the kind words and comment. Try clicking into the game again after pressing "Start" that should keep you cursor from going outside the embed window. But honestly, you'll get a better experience playing in full screen!
cool game! love the music too haha
Thank you! I spent a lot of time picking out the right music. Thanks to Kevin MacLeod and Nat Keefe with The Bow Ties for their talents in music making.

I like it please make more gamesThank you! Awesome gameplay. I'm planning on adding some extras, like high score, achievements, two more locations along with some new enemy surprises. More to come!
Really enjoyed this game and it is in my Top 5 of this week!
Check my video. Subscribe my Youtube Channel if you like!
Thanks for choosing my game for your Top 5 this week! I also subscribed to your channel as peter11508.
You're welcome! Thanks!
takes long to load
Sorry to hear that. I purposely added a 5 second "loading" screen to give the player enough time to read the random tip at the bottom of the screen and also to act as a transition into playing the game. Hopefully the tips are worth the wait. To your point, maybe I should add a "skip" button?
Very good game, fun and cute
Thank you!
This Game is so fun its very endless amounts of fun

Hopefully someday like when PS6 comes out, lol
That's really nice of you to say. I would like to develop this game further to make it console-worthy, like adding more locations, weapons, and enemy types. I would also like to include a story mode as well, so lots more fun to come!
