PSA: As of Chrome 42 (Released April 14th), NPAPI plugins are disabled by default! That means Unity Player, Java, and Silverlight games will not work in the Chrome browser! That said, Flash in the Chrome browser continues to work fine (PPAPI).
To Developers: Consider using HTML5 and WebGL instead. Having troubles with the export? Don’t worry. See Ports below.
To Players: A workaround is to enable NPAPI plugins in your Chrome settings. Click or Copy+Paste this URL in to a tab:
As of September 2015 however, this option will no longer be available.
Other browsers (Firefox, Internet Explorer, Safari) and Flash are unaffected, but FWIW there is no Unity Player or Silverlight for Linux.X

I love the visuals! Took a while till I figured out how to use the three weapons, but it was really amusing after that.
played the game with one hand! got pretty good at it. Or at least I thought then I randomly lost the game. I don't know how to use the other traps but I just spam plants everythere so that's pretty bloody fantastic
Marbles slow down enemies, and the Ghost bear can block only doors. Win and loss is based on if more than half the enemies escape or are still alive after 2 minutes.
A nice UI, simple to play and the Fat Batman are pretty funny and there were lots of them.
I only really used the plant and used the doorway as a bottleneck. Most of the AI seemed to just wander instead of trying to escape. Overall pretty good though.
liked it, but you could have more stages :P
The audio is great :P
the graphics, wow. Good work! Very polished look to it, especially the UI.
It was an interesting game. The graphics looked fantastic, and the concept was cool. But, like a few of the other commenters said, I found the game confusing. The plant trap was the only one I used effectively. The AI was also pretty weird. I think it was better that they wandered instead of all rushing towards the goal, but mine got stuck on walls quite often and only a few of them made any movement towards the exit at all. It was really easy to just stick plant traps in large clusters of guys and kill all of them.
This looks lovely, really digging the art. Pretty fun to play and I'd definitely like to play a post-jam version
I guess you could say this was well "planted". If you want to expand this more and fix some of the bugs I would play it!
Fun game! Weapon 1 seemed the best to use, but maybe I didn't understand the others. Art is really great and audio is nice too. Good job!
Interesting game concept. Didn't feel too much advancing, just kept dropping plants on the floor. Graphics were pretty cool though!
Nice visuals and sound. Plants seem to be the only useful weapon.
This locks up on Mac (Mavericks) after pressing the spacebar. <3

Mini Submission FAQ
TEAMS: Teams entering the Jam should pick a single representative to submit your game, or create a team specific account you can share. We currently do not support Team Voting, but sharing an account and together playing and rating games is acceptable.
CAN I ENTER BOTH EVENTS?: You should pick 1 event, whichever you think it’ll do better in. If the idea is strong, and everything plays well enough, you can go Compo. If you’re a perfectionist, and would prefer people to play a more polished game, do the Jam. Historically, more games are entered in the Compo, but with more people and more time, Jam games have the potential to be better (that doesn’t mean they are). Many solo participants do enter the Jam.
If you made 2 games, unfortunately, the website doesn’t support multiple submissions per user. To submit your 2nd game, you will have to make a 2nd account. Only do this if you made 2 games. Alternatively, if one game is better than the other, then consider just entering the better game.
CAN I KEEP WORKING UNTIL THE DEADLINE?: Yes! Immediately after the 48 or 72 hours, we do something called Submission Hour. As the name suggests, it’s an extra hour for you to package, upload, and submit your games. If there were catastrophic issues trying submitting your game, or you misunderstood how submissions work, that’s okay. It happens. We’re flexible. If you need advice, check with the folks on IRC. If you need an admin, get in touch.
CAN I KEEP WORKING ON MY GAME?: Oh definitely! You should! But for the sake of judging, keep the Compo or Jam version around. You can include a link to the Post-Compo/Post-Jam version of your game on your games page, but sure your main links are the original version.
PORTS: Ports to other platforms can be done after the deadline. That said, the sooner you finish your port, the sooner people can play your game, improving your chances of placing in the final results. For best results, provide a Web version of your game, or a Windows version with no dependencies. Also be sure to rate at least 20 games to improve your visibility (Coolness).
MY GAME CRASHES, IS UNBEATABLE, OR I MADE A TYPO: We allow you to fix crashes, win condition, or tiny bugs after the deadline. In a sense, this is like “porting” to support more players. We leave this open to interpretation, but generally speaking your game should be identical to the game you submitted. No new features, just fixing mistakes you should have caught had you been better rested.
MY GAME DOESN’T SHOW UP: If you can’t find your game, it’s usually because the URL to your downloads are missing ‘http://‘. Fix your URLs (http://mysite.com/mygame.zip) and you will show up. Alternatively, if you just posted it, wait a minute. The cache may not have refreshed yet.
NOT LOGGED IN?: If you get a message about not being logged in, even though you are, it’s because your web browser cached the non-logged in page. You can fix this by either refreshing your cache or clearing your cache. CTRL+F5 in many browsers. Chrome is a bit more work. Press F12 to enable Developer Mode, then you can right click on the refresh button and select “Empty Cache and Hard Reload”. This option is unavailable if you are not in Developer Mode.
The only trap that seemed to work for me was the plants. Pretty fun ruining all the batmens though C:
