Pretty cool, especially when I came back to this page and noticed that there was an upgrades button in the game (no idea how I missed that the first time).

Managed to pummel a few heroes with upgraded spike traps.

Would be great to have feedback on how long your spike your traps are going to last, and how much the upgrades and traps are going to cost. Also the attacks might be better broken up into waves so you have more of a sense of achievement for holding them off.

I liked the way they hurled themselves at high speed around the level, scrabbling towards your hoard! :)

Great game! Too bad there's no sound though. And that it just goes on forever. Maybe you could work in a timer, and when that ended, you would have won? Well, great work anyway!

Nice concept! I wish there was a little bit more challenge though. I started placing boulders in the bottom right corner and nothing could ever get past there since everything had to go through that point.

Great game. The concept is pretty straight forward so the lack of instructions doesn't really matter. Although, you could have added some kind of info for the different items or at least have the player to know the prices of the items and upgrades.

Haha, pretty nice. The pace of the game seems overwhelming at first, but when you get the hang of things I think it actually become a bit too easy. Still, nice work!

I liked the game. Was good fun. But relatively easy. Place a few balls at the first hole, and you win :/ If you adjust the difficulty, it could last much longer and be a lot of fun :)

How eagerly they rush to their doom.

really nice concept, there are some really easy exploits once you start ranking some gold, but its still a lot of fun!

Fun little game, I like the way the enemies manage to find their way around. Putting a load of boulders at the bottom right turns everything entering into a fine paste :)

As others have mentioned, having waves and being able to win would add a lot.

This is great fun! At first I was making money fast enough that I thought things cost a negative amount of money... but burning all of my gold on dozens of rolling rocks taught me better :)

Once I've got a ton of rolling rocks the game pretty much can't be lost until the gradually scaling flood of adventurers becomes entirely insurmountable. High marks any way! I really like this. Well executed, super fun. With some more game balance, or perhaps goals/waves/levels I can see this being a great game, not just a great jam game :)!

I liked setting up the dungeon. There were a few issues: I found it hard to tell when I was going to be able to place another obstacle; is it time based or gold based? Then, at some point I was able to place unlimited spikes; each one would give me MORE money. Then it was easy to just fill up the screen with them, except that while I'm typing this review the game ended with "GAME OVER HEROES WIN" even though I had like 999999 golds. I think that's just a bug. Anyway, I think it'd be improved with some goal or way to win each level!
