Simple and cute little TD. Seemed quite balanced as well during the time I played it. Thumbs up!

got to lvl 20 it's fun

Glad you're enjoying it. I appreciate the comment about the balance, I worked quite a bit on that.

Wave 20 is pretty solid - that's where it gets pretty tough. I don't think it's possible to get much farther. My current highscore is wave 23.

TD games aren't really my thing, but it's definitely one of the more "complete" games you'll see in this kind of game jam, so that's worthy of respect.

I quit at level 50 because there is still so much more to try out^^
Good choice with the upgrade system. I noticed how range is actually bad, because it makes towers target enemies which are already targeted by towers farther to the right thus wasting shots.

It's actually also grey ^^

gama11 2013-04-29 14:20

@AyCe Wow, level 50 is impressive. I guess I'll have to try again using another strategy. The range thing is really interesting... I guess the tower AI isn't perfect, and if two towers happen to be charged and target the same enemy in a single frame, one shot will be wasted (assuming only one shot is needed to kill him).
However, towers only charge when an enemy is in range.. So yeah.

A very nice, clean tower defense game

merkoth 2013-04-29 15:20

Very nice, good job!

aquilicoco 2013-04-29 15:21

I like it.

glisk 2013-04-29 15:22

It's a really cool minimalist tower defense. Like it ^^

ysty 2013-04-29 15:23

I'm not usually a big fan of tower defence, but I had fun with this. It works really well, and I especially like the music.

Fun game, excellent work for 48 hours.

Nice job! Attractive, simple, easy to play. I liked it.

robertcalvert 2013-04-29 15:28

Minimalist and well balanced. This was really fun to play.

gama11 2013-04-29 15:35

@Ytsy: Wow, I didn't expect a compliment regarding the music. It's the first time I've ever created music myself, and I was wondering whether to include it at all, since I feared that it could actually make the game worse. Thanks! :)

A good TD. Simple, and yet addictive, at least for some minutes.

Quite enjoyable. I especially like the graphics and the audio.

Seems a bit easy though; not really any interesting decisions.

chman 2013-04-29 16:43

I'm a sucker for TD games, this one is no exception ! Pretty well done except the balance seems off. I played until wave 52 and quit because I was crushing the enemy easily. I guess that's to be expected because there's only one tower and one enemy type.

jah2488 2013-05-01 03:30

Awesome game. Lots of fun. Very solid in all aspects!

robotality 2013-05-01 15:07

not innovative but well done and plays very well :)

grayhaze 2013-05-04 11:05

Well done. Crashed the browser for me at wave 69 though!

lightsoda 2013-05-04 21:35

A decent little TD game. Good job!

ditto 2013-05-06 12:27

Addictive. Awesome job man!

tiago-ling 2013-05-06 19:38

Nice little TD, congratulations! Did you use HaxeFlixel?

michail 2013-05-07 01:39

Nice and polished entry. It seems there's nothing interesting to happen after some 30 waves, but I like it anyway.

gama11 2013-05-08 13:46

@Tiago Ling Alexandre: Yeah, exactly, that's what I used. :)

pirate-rob 2013-05-16 17:28

Power failure at wave 135 T.T Good game though!

erunaamo 2013-05-19 17:20

As a TD novice, I found this satisfyingly tense for about 30 waves, then too easy...but still fun until about wave 80. I like the old-school graphics.
