Ah, the game seems a little buggy. I tried to play but the keyboard only responded intermittently.

Sorry, I made a mistake when uploading the latest version yesterday. It should be working better now!

Cool graphics :) I like tower defense games, so I had to love this one :)

visually excellent, really appealing. animation is tight and lovely style. found controls a little tricky, collision detection issues etc. could be really nice with a bit of development.

Looks good, though pressing 2 gave me the same tower as pressing 1 did, and the draw order of the towers was place order, so i was seeing towers over other towers.
I surrounded myself with demon eater plants, thinking I'd be safe... Nope...!

It's lovely! Cool mood, and the music just screams "fight"! A couple of boars stopped following me at some point, and the game froze. But I've played again and again, it's kinda addictive :)

really nice take on tower defense games - graphics were great, it just needed sound - nice job

Hello, dear players or future players! We have worked quite a lot after the end of the competition to make the game better, and we have put up a new version on line:

http://games.lqbs.fr/michell-in-hell/

It contains a lot of bug fixes (display order, collisions, movements... ) and some enhancements like the 2nd tower and better tower placing. We will continue updating that new version regularly as we keep improving it.

Note that the version linked from the top of this page remains the same that we shipped at the end of the LD29 weekend. However, who are we to judge you if you ever test our new, improved version? ;)

I can't hear the sound :(

Lovely graphics, cool idea and very good audio!
The gameplay itself has some mayor flaws. There is only one tower and collision detecting sometimes seems to be very inaccurate. I'm also missing powerups after a wave is over.

All in all this is a cool idea, with good gameart, but the gameplay has major flaws.

Loved the graphics, and the audio was really nice too. Seems odd that you can infinitely spam the towers rather than having some mana/resources or something though

nice graphics.
a regular bug: hero frozzen after putting a tower...

Hi all, thanks for all your comments !
For those who have had issues with sounds, it seems there are some compatibility issues with Safari. You can try using chrome or firefox. Hope it helps !

Nice game, quite difficult as enemies touch you very easily, but I like the strategy decision of fighting by yourself or planting new trees to improve attacking area.

Good graphics and design, keep it up!

haha, I always find it a bit weird if people write about how their own game has beautiful graphics and awesome music. But I have to agree, the music and graphics are really good.

I think I could use some instructions. I had the feeling all I could do was plant one type of snapping tree, but I could see two symbols, but couldn't find out how to switch and the beat'em up reference suggested I could hit maybe?

So it might be a better game than I noticed. If you could add some instructions I could find out :)
