I liked the intro and outro; and the description of each level was telegraphic, thanks for making it! (How is that channel memebership outro making thing going to work? Can they create multiple in case there are no new submissions from other people or what?).

[@BarelyAlec]

Thanks! If there are no new submissions, I'll just make the end card as I've done for the other videos. If multiple people make one, I'll show them for equal time. If I get a lot, I might have to show multiple on-screen at a time. Each member of the Barely Barely tier gets to make 1 end screen for each month they're on that tier. Since I don't always upload monthly, I think that makes the most sense

[@danielleb1126]

I know the goal was to beat the game under 3 plants and you did do it if we don't count the conveyor belt levels. Lots of people want you to beat the second adventure or try some of the side modes or PvZ 2 but what I would like to see is you going back to levels you already beat with plants and upgrades from later levels. (Not adventure 2) Because you did structure this like a low score run with every level getting a different score it would make since to return to the levels you already beat to continue lowering your score. And you did say that the cattail might be good at world 3 and want to know if it would be good as well.

[@BarelyAlec]

That could be fun! I just finished PvZ 2 and am more interested in trying this in that right now, honestly. But even then I've still got a lot to work on first
