I wasn't very good at the game, but i did play through each level. Obvious some glitches and flaws aside, it was fun and I liked how you added some strategy to it with the enemies, though I never did manage to figure out how to kill the enemies that shoot you with pig-like snouts. Still, impressed you managed all that in two days.
Thanks for playing, the ones that shoot at you are the turtles, and they have a soft underbelly. I don't want to give it away but if you think about how you flip turtles in Super Mario that's where I got the inspiration. ;) When you say obvious bugs and glitches what exactly do you mean? ;)
Made it past a few waves in the first stage and tried the others. And controller support (yay)! Very nice thing you made there!
Very nice overall. Some good strategy involved in dealing with the creatures. Needs a controls reference.
@Lacaranian thanks for playing glad you liked it!
@JavadocMD Thanks! There is a controls reference in the settings on the main menu. :)

Is it any chance to win in this game?
@Cat Technically, no. The goal is to survive as many waves as you can, like a horde mode of sorts.
Cool idea. I really like the graphical style and the mechanic for killing the Tawl was fun. You could consider showing the bestiary at the start of the game as I didn't look at it at first.
It was maybe a little hard, particularly when more than one enemy got together. I never got past wave 2 on any of the environments.

Too hard
Impressive work, but how do I kill these turles?
Oh and no picking up the meat?
Well implemented, love that drill mechanic! :D Man do those things explode. . . isn't there more gib than monster? :)
I didn't manage to kill any enemies at all, not sure what i was doing wrong. The music is very catchy... da, da daaaa...da, da daaa...

I liked the concpet, but all the bloody flesh explosion stuff realy put me off. But besides that, good game.
Great job, I always enjoy a challenging game. Took me a few minutes to figure out how to kill the Tawl. Solid entry :)

It looks pretty good for a two day project. Despite what AestheticGamer said, I didn't see any obvious glitches. (Except maybe the laser bolts not following through their trajectory. A little hard, but I was playing this on a trackpad. The art was pretty good too.

I almost gave up on the turtles but then I found the hint in the bestiary. It's really fun to play once you know how :)

Very well made top down survival game. Even the menu system is thought out and well designed. Good job

I thought this was a fun game. I think the controls for drilling down need work, but it's 72 hours. I hope you expand it further, I think this could be fun with more polish. Impressed by the number of modes and controller support option. :)
Thanks for sharing it! :D
