death by flower arrangement

death by flower arrangement is a 2D top-down shooter where you frolic among the flowers as a florist named Flanigan, keeping them at bay with your AK-47, and scattering their petals on the grassy floor in an arrangement of vibrant color.

Created for the Pippin Barr 'GAME IDEA' Game Jam.
