Love the sprites!

There's something about the running animation of those little sonic guys that cracks me up.
Simple but fun platform tower defence game, which is a mix of genre I havent actually seen much before.
Cool art that reminded me of Sword & Sorcery.
Couldnt figure out what the last trap was doing ?

Nice inclusion of classic gaming characters!

Was pretty confused at frist, took me a minut to figure out what to do. Great art and references! Congrats! I don't know how i can bring myself to kill Link :(

These are some pretty sprites :D loving those references!

I liked the visual style of this game XD

i thought this was great! extremely addictive. i like the balance and scarcity of resources, means trap management is important. died on wave 8. great game!

I love visual style a lot!

Great attempt at a tower defence game in such a short amount of time. It was solid game play, just needed more sound effects. I really liked the sheer number of sprites and artwork created. I got to level 6/9 but I want to try again. Well done.

Really cool visual style, neat references

Very cool and innovative. Well done!

Very nice entry, I played it and enjoyed it until the end :) It's the first time I see a such mix of the Tower Defense and platformer genres, it works quite well!

If I were to make suggestions, I'd say:
- The balancing of items is quite average. Spikes (and maybe Ice floors to earn more time to shoot) are the only items worth making.
- The sprites for traps are a quite small, a colored aura or an icon below them would make it more comfortable for the player to distinguish the traps and their types in a glance.
- Be proud of your pixel art :D

Liked this a lot. Loved the retro game characters as the good guys and using things like PacMan ghosts as bad guys. Pretty slick, fun and easy to play and well polished for 48 hours. Well done.

Simple and fun little game.

dragonkn 2012-12-19 16:12

the best one that i played so far... the game remembers me the Orcs Must die xD but in 2D

Nice graphics, I loved to discover the new "enemies" in the new wave.

I was that close not to be a Villain :D

Cool twist on the tower defense genre and nice consistent art style.

saintheiser 2012-12-22 04:28

Nice work! Very addictive game =)
But I think there is bad balance. First trap is very useful, and fifth trap useless at the time.

Cool sprites. Fun setting for the theme.

fishbrain 2012-12-28 07:04

Nice sprites and tunes.

I wasn't very good at this. Seemed like the Marios would kill my ghosts and then I wouldn't have anything left to fight with. Would have been more fun if I didn't suck so much.

Goat-legged villains are the best kind of villains.

Nearly killed myself with spikes at first (somehow). Some sound effects might have juiced this up nicely (obviously).

Though I had fun smashing the NES and SEGA characters :)
