Nice implementation. Sadly it just seems like a simplified defense game

Pretty, Good

Crashes when I try to run :(

Not bad. It was a bit too easy though.

@poohshoes is there an error message or does it just hang before crashing?

Fun! Seemed like I couldn't buy the first upgrade though. Eventually I just spammed the 2nd upgrade and pretty much decimated everything. haha. Wish there were more types of monsters though.

Nice concept, would have been good to see more unit types. I didn't realise at first that you could aim upwards (but of course that's obvious now that I think about it). Shop was a cool idea. A bit too easy and the enemies were a bit slow. Good base for a game though. I think with some expansion this could be a lot of fun.

Some pretty sweet gameplay, was enjoyable with the upgrades but then I got too fast for the enemies and found myself waiting a lot of the time. If that was fixed I'd probably have a great time playing this. Good job anyway!

Cool game, would like to see it expanded. I couldn't buy the first upgrade. Also after playing for a bit it completely locked up and I had to force quit it.

I liked it. The simple graphics were a cute throwback to arcade games. It took me a while to figure out I was charging up my shot (I missed the little charge bar)... maybe an audio cue that something's happening. Also, unlike @Arcana I shot once and saw that gravity affected my shot and immediately played it like I was shooting a catapult, aiming upwards and trying to arc it into enemies. I like that idea though, sort of like a lo-fi realtime worms game.

This is a very simple game, although it felt like it could use something more in terms of a challenge - after repelling the first few green things and buying upgrades, it seemed like I was waiting for enemies to appear more than actually doing anything. Also, the 1st upgrade did seem to work on my Mac.

Solid; like the quick menu interactions.

Nice game!

I learned that you can just spam the clicker to make a shower of bullets in front of your fort and just go forever.

Interesting game - pretty fun, and neat retro look. It would have benefited by being harder, by having more kinds of enemies (including maybe flying ones) and by having a little more to do. I couldn't ever buy the first upgrade for some reason. Cool project, everything works well, nicely done!

I see great potential with this one.

The graphics are excellent. They're probably the most minimalist aspect of the game. To adhere to the theme, I'd personally remove the shop, and try to make the skill element of defending the castle more engaging.

The game crashed after some playing. But it was a lot of fun. You did a good job :)
