You are the plant, and you get to chomp down an colourful assortment of enemies, from blobs to humans and undead who keeps coming in increasingly large numbers (by clicking onscreen targets to chomp on them). Progressing through levels allows you to grow in size as enemies comes in increasingly large waves, and you can unlock different varieties of mooks to feed on as well as purchasing upgrades from gold dropped by devoured enemies.

!! Feed me...
* BigEater: You progress through the game by eating onscreen targets, non-stop. By later levels you're gobbling at least half a dozen humans, goblins, blobs and other targets with each bite to the point where you're ''scooping your maw'' over a whole wave of edible targets.
* BlobMonster: Featureless green blobs are the first and most common enemies encountered, serving as TheGoomba for you to make a quick meal of before moving on to goblins and humans. Lampshaded by the description who says "the blobs are everywhere".
* DemBones: Skeletons are the first undead-themed enemies to show up.
* OurGoblinsAreDifferent: They're not too different from other fantastical depictions of goblins, but the goblin mooks in this game are mostly mindless and wanders around a stage until you bite them.
* TheGrimReaper: Grim himself turns out to be the mysterious wizard who sold the seed in the backstory. And will periodically pop up in-game to sell you upgrades.
* HappyDance: Complete a level by devouring enough enemies and you'll perform a gleeful jig by twisting your stalks, waving your leaves and shaking your gigantic plant maw side-by-side as confetti fills the screen.
* ItCanThink: You in a nutshell. While initially appearing as a mindless plant monster, it turns out you can ''talk'', and express glee when reaching out to bite and devour intruders.
--> "Hungry... ''Deeeeeeath!'' Taaaassste Good!"
* IWantMyMommy: Some devoured intruders will name-drop this trope when you start swallowing them.
* MakeMyMonsterGrow: You're already a thirty-foot killer plant in the first few levels, and you gain size and height with the sheer amount of enemies eaten. Towards the last stages you're a ''kaiju'' plant capable of gobbling dozens of targets in a single bite!
* ManEatingPlant: Yeah, it's right in the title. Which refers to your playable character.
* MonstrousScenery: Every now and then in the background, a dragon will fly by and breath fire on a different castle before leaving. Said dragon is irrelevant to the plot and is just... there.
* NothingButSkulls: Right in the first stage, the castle's entrance is already decorated with various human bones and skulls, ''before'' you started feasting. And you just add to the amount of skulls right there by gobbling up everything in sight.
* OverlyLongTongue: A mid-game upgrade grants you an extendable tongue which can [[MultipurposeTongue even snatch enemies from afar]] into your maw.
* SpitOutAShoe: You'll regularly spit out sacks of coins, gold and jewels after each meal, and some skulls and bones for good measure. The regurgiated treasure can be automatically added to your current tally and used for purchasing upgrades after completing each level.
* SwallowedWhole: How you dispose of intruders.
* TooDumbToLive: While mindless blobs, goblins, and undead are exempted from this trope, the same can't be said for the human-based intruders ranging from farmers to warriors and wizards. What are the odds of survival by approaching a sixty-foot, fearsome-looking and obviously hungry plant monster who's gobbling up everything in sight like crazy?
* VillainProtagonist: Well, in a way - you're a gigantic killer plant with some degree of sentience, who ''enjoys'' stuffing your face with passer-bys.
* VineTentacles: Another upgrade you can obtain to ensnare targets.
