Unfortunately I couldn't see anything at all - it was just a big white canvas with some dividing lines, the word "wait", and lifebars. I guess maybe it was my computer, so I didn't rate it.

The game worked fine for me. My main complaint is that I don't see much strategic depth in this.
Those enemy graphics need to have a transparent background, silly.
well done for your first game. don't let comments or ratings get you down. it's not that bad. maybe the damage should be a little increased so the game doesn't last so long (and gets boring)
Playable game. I'm a bit disappointed that it can't be played by two people right off the bat. Also, those graphics aren't doing their job... I had to read through your explanation three times to get what I was supposed to be doing.
You might not think it, but it's actually a lot more fun to read bits about your weekend game-development endeavor. Concept sketches, WIP screenshots, banter about what you're working on at the given moment... hell, throw in photos of your food and pets if you really have to.
Keep at it; I appreciate your hard work in producing this game and I look forward to seeing your work come the next Ludum Dare!
A nice try. Possibly some nice ideas in there, but unfortunately it's hard to tell at this stage. I didn't really get how the game worked. It was my turn to attack, so I sent in all my guys and they attacked the fortress, and then it didn't do anything.
But hey, everyone's got to start somewhere, and things don't always go the way we plan. I'm sure next competition you'll be awesome :D
Why doesn't it just end the round automatically when you finish placing stuff instead of having to press space? How do I control what I want to put down? It seems like I can only put down a few of the same thing down each time and other times nothing at all.
Nice ideas in there, I'd like to see a future version of this game.
I'm sorry, but I gave you terrible ratings. I tried to play, but after a while of nothing happening, no matter how I clicked... meh.
I say I'm sorry, because I know how hard it is to get a game to this point, so don't feel bad. Ludum Dare is really really hard, you get better, I promise :D
Nice start, got I little boring after some time, and I didn't really get it tbh. Keep at it tho.
I wasn't able to figure out how to play. The only thing I seemed to be able to do is to place those wall-things during the defense phase.
Like some others, I can't figure out how to play. I know you've got instructions there -- I just can't figure out what they /mean/.
