This is a fun game with catchy music and neat graphics. I really like your sprite animations and multi-scrolling backgrounds.

This is a fun game with catchy music and neat graphics. I really like your sprite animations and multi-scrolling backgrounds.
Love the audio and the graphs too! The game-play is super different and fun!
I liked the Commodore-esque graphics here! Well-wound package all the way, a nice take on the tower defense genre. :)
AWESOME! It's fun, and I like the graphics/sounds! I'd love to see you take this further with more levels, unlockables, and more stuff! :)
Charming pixel art!
WINNER! 5203. the music was great. All thoe sounds too except or the sound the castle made when it died, that was a bit loud lol. But fun! thanks!
Super fun and catchy.
Fun game, good consistent graphical style.
Nice game :)
And I won!
I really wanted more than one round so I just kept replaying it, I wanted the 800 gold dudes. First time I got one I still lost, because, he was in front of my castle but they were still hitting the castle instead of him :(
So next game I get it again and man they are awful, what a troll unit lol. Plus they can't attack the little dudes? Whatever :P Good game anyway, really well done and the only problem was the AI was kind of bad + a lack of rounds, I WANT MORE :P
great graphics and gameplay! I was able to build a killer army of archers hehe

OMG TOO SHORT ! :D I really want more!
score 4953
Great graphics! A bit too short though.
Really cool, love the graphics.
Really cute game. I did get confused at the start as I couldn't click on the icons, for a good amount of time, and then it finally started. Graphics are really nice, parallax was cool and subtle, music was good, and the gameplay was straightforward but fun. You could do a lot more with this :) Nice job!
Really nice! I like the "rate entry" after finishing playing.
I think the scrolling is too slow and having several archers makes it too easy to win.
I'm not very sure I like this one. A part of me just wants to shout "not another castle defence game". Another part is not very sure this game fits the theme. The visuals, gameplay and sounds are beyond perfect for a LD game, but other than that, I'm not very impressed.
Simple and fun! It was very satisfying to win.
Really nice backgrounds graphics and fun game! Game was a bit too easy and short, and sound effects could be a bit better :)
That's one of the great entries I've seen so far.
Nice concept! I really like the happy art style and feeling :) +1 for your username, everyone loves christmas candy! Nice music, but you lose one star since the explosion effect scared the shit out of me.
Leafs moving to the sound of wind over dead bodies of my enemies. Good job :)
Solid game, not quite sure how it connects to the theme but it was fun
1349! Reminds me a bit of CastleStorm! Fairly straightforward gameplay & decent visuals!
Pretty good, although very easy. Nice pixel art and the music was awesome. The theme felt bit forced though, there wasn't really anything related to it.
Fun little tower defense style game. I liked your background graphics like the tree especially and the ent's animation made me chuckle.
Good stuff. :)
Loved the graphics and the gameplay is fairly entertaining. Good job!
World didn't scroll... Love the derpy leg movement.
it's an okay game :) the sound killed my ear tho haha
+animated background
-sound effects
very nice game
Nice take on the theme, felt a bit unit spam-y at times but that's all part of this type of game, really.
From all the reviews I have read, the AI is supposed to be bad but it kicked my ass! Very fun game. I really enjoyed playing it. Great Job!
Everything good except innovation and theme. But it still really fun to play! Good job!
Graphics (especially background) is very nicely done!
Actually very fun game and well balanced too , very good work
Good entry.
Pretty cool dynamic pixel paysage!
Such a fun game =)
Super fun game! I love these types :D
Very very fun! Probably my favorite game as of now! Great music, graphics, and gameplay! Nothing bad to say about this game!
The game is very well balanced. It is really addictive. And graphics are awesome.Congrats!
Nice game, congrats!
Pretty neat, it was not easy to beat and mechanics were nicely balanced. Very fun to play!!
Fun game, i love that graphics
Love it! Would be great to see multiple levels and more units. Very impressed.
Good game! I had a hell of a ride, at first it looked like I was winning easily but then somehow the enemy turned it around?!
I then was in danger of losing but spammed footmen (60) and archers and was able to fight them back. Thinking my defending army is now strong enough I made the advance... only to be smashed by the enemy's troops yet again.
Then I summoned the (800) creature. I have no idea what it does but it died horrible at the hands of a mob consisting of enemy farmers.
In short: I had fun with this :D
Realy fun game to play! it was a little bit to hard, i batlle wave after wave after wave and still couldnt finish it, i also tougth it dindt quite fit the theme...
love the pixel art and the parallax background but the gameplay is a bit repetitive and the magic/explosions felt unfair and were too loud when it triggered on groups of soldiers. Maybe the connection to the theme would have been stronger if the enemies were coming out of portals instead of another castle. good compo entry
could play for hours! great game,
Good game and gameplay But i didnt see theme in gameplay. Goodjob
Very fun and beautiful! Now I'm tired of clicking. ahha
Great fun. It took me quite some time to destroy the enemy, once I spawned the robots they went down quickly though :D
Those tree in the background are really well animated.
Well done. I would have liked to see more unit types and get info on their strengths. I ended up having a tie with the other party and eventually closed the window. I felt I don't know how to beat the damned enemies :D
This isn't new genre, so would be interesting to see something surprising & new in the field.
As an 48 hour feat: great job. Congraz.
I liked the graphics, and details like the trees moving in the background. I found the sound effects a little bit annoying towards the end, but it was cool anyway.
I was winning with a lot of archers, but like other commenter said, the game turned around suddenly.
Fun simple game. My score: 4866.
I love the art and the music.
The AI could be a little smarter. I had fun with it overall.
Very fun, nice graphics (specially the background). An enjoyable game. It's true that Tower Defense games are way too many nowadays, but it's good to see a balanced one. If I distracted a second from the recruiting panel, I could lose lots of terrain.
Nicely done.
Fantastic !!!! i love the graphics and idea.
This is really freakin hard. Good game though
Well done, you have to continue!
One of the most addictive game i've seen.
That's a simple tower defense like, but the music and even the background animation make the game really fun.
It lack of some variety (upgrade, level, unity) but it's a real good base.
Only the portal/castle look ugly compared to the other sprite.
Great Game!!! 18000+ points :DD
Hi there. I enjoyed placing some warr/wiz/ranged for a bit. Screen didn't scroll to the left once battle had shifted that way, not sure if Chrome/W8.1 issue or game. Needs a bit more for player to do. Liked the sounds. Good job!
At first I assumed this was a jam entry. Excellent work under the compo constraints! :)
Nicely done, beautiful graphics and catchy sound, though I couldn't work out why my guys would randomly take damage, although I can only assume it's the tower damaging them?
Wow, I really liked your game. I didn't understand how to scroll first, but then I got it. Great Job!
I liked it :D
Almost lost once but managed to turn the table heh
The background is awesome, as well as the animations. I just disliked the castles sprite, specially the player's one. I think it didn't fit the scenery :X
Took a while but finished this. The only thing I didn't like were the explosions, they seemed random and unfair. Other than that, very enjoyable and just loved the pixel art!
Cool graphics, soundtrack, and loving the animations on the clouds and trees. Really effective and well thought out game!
I love this gameplay, and the sound is awesomee. It's a very good entry !
The game is very fun. I like art style and gameplay. Congratulations!
Well put together. Although I'd say the tie-in to the theme was a bit slapped on. Good tower defense game though!
Great game! That big guy unit is a scam tho.
Great !
Fun game, not the most original but fun to play.
Very fun, and really well balanced
Score: 29127 (Not sure if that's good or bad)
Great game idea, graphics and sound!
This game is really fun, the sounds are fine even tho the fighting sounds are getting a little annyoing.
The graphics are nice, though the theme is minimally connected. The random explosions killing huge waves of your units seem completely unexplained, annoying, and unfair. It seemed to happen near the enemy base, and I did not see any explanation for it mentioned ingame or on the page. It was also difficult to see what sort of units were strong against what, and the AI units seem to be able to mass on top of each other and do nearly unstoppable rapidfire attacks.
Is there a way to use your own random explosions to take out huge waves of enemies? The only explosions I ever saw in my favor happened BEHIND all my troops, on top of my own fortress.
If you build an 800-cost troop, the enemy can apparently spawn an entire wave of 10-20 archers, behind their fortress, completely offscreen, which will do permanent rapidfire until you lose.
Am I missing something obvious? Most people seems to be winning easily, but the only thing I finally found that worked was endless spam of archers and small units.
I tried not building the 800-cost unit, and the AI got a synchronized group of green punching units. Nothing seemed to kill them, and when they got near my base, once again the explosions appeared BEHIND my base and did not touch any enemy units at all.
One user interface detail -- the "highlighted" color is the same as the "recharging" color, which might make it confusing about when a unit is available.
If the explosions happened near your base to simultaneously kill big waves of enemies, like the enemy can do to you, the game might be less incredibly frustrating. :(
A little bit unpolished,but plays and looks well!
Favorite game of the contest so far! Beat it with 16811 points! Great job!
I was doing fine until they spawned like 100 archers and instantly overran my entire force :(
pretty game! and super addicting haha. I thought it was gonna be soo easy at first, but boy was i wrong
Nice game ! I really like your pixel art. It's neat. Very good job for a 48h entry !!
This was actually a lot of fun! Love these kinds of games. Took quite a while before I was able to beat the enemys base too. Got 16000 points :) Great entry, man! Well done.
Loved the pixel art, the trees especially. Gameplay worked well, felt like there were waves of difficulty. Nicely done.
Cool game. Not sure if its really done in 48 hours tho.
I have a liking for your entry :D Graphics are lovely and it's really fun !
However I found it a little bit easy and it doesn't sound that great... But it works so well !!! GG

Fun game, I loved how it kept going back and forth where I would be winning then the opponent would be winning then I made a last push and won the game.
I liked the way to scroll the game left and right. Not very attached to the theme, but it was very fun to play.
like the gfx
Great job! Very fun and rewarding! Love the art style
Cool game. The parallax effect was really cool and I liked your sprites and their animations.
Had some really tense battles where I didn't quite know if I would win or lose, but in the end, I did it. ;)
Quite enjoyed this game. Got quickly overwhelmed.
The funniest entry I've played so far! Reminds me of King's Arthur World on Snes, really great entry!
Wow, that was intense. I finally won, very captivating and entertaining, although i did not really get the dynamics of who is best against what. Anyhow, very good game!!
nice graphics!
Such a nice graphics there! Very addictive game!
Wow I just kept on playing and playing. Wasn't expecting to get so hooked. Great tune as well!
Pretty fun game, and not too easy to win either. Nicely done.
It gets pretty frantic! Very fun.
Great job with the controls! I can just hold the mouse button down instead of constantly clicking on each button to summon a guy.
Fun game! I ended with a score of 14,446 :) The music and graphics were fun, you even took the time to animate the trees in the background.
Graphics are neat, but gameplay itself should be more balanced. Won just by overcoming enemies. And if there was gold income upgrades that would make it much more interesting :)
Anyway, great job!
Really liked your game
Played through my android and spent some good time :)
Awesome game. The balance is quite neat!
Very impressive artwork for 48 hours!
neat! my perception was that i had to slowly build my army, slay creeps for gold and decide when (and whether or not) to buy that 800 gold unit. i felt like i was on the field of a faraway fantasyscape, with a maxfield parrish sunrise illuminating the final battle.
i learned from your game that only four units is enough to stop and think about what kind of shopping to do. it's interesting that so much dillemma can come from so little.
great sprite art, but by putting the build user interface at the top left my eyes were away from the action of the game. also i noticed 'hover over' an icon had the same treatment as 'building' an icon which was a little confusing.
the music was nicely intense, but it was a really short loop. the sfx, i probably would have thickened up a bit (or brought down in the mix).
overall, very nice game. oh, and my favorite part was the text THE WORLD CONNECTORS.
ETC (from Creative Sectors):
I am a fan of the 80s games (Atari, Commodore, Sony, Nintendo, etc.), so I was touched by it's graphics. I had 16651 points in the end. It's not so original, but I like the parallax background with the animated trees.
Really fun game. Won with an giant army of archers :)
I loved this! It reminded me strongly of Swords and Soldiers. The unit selection was nice. The Golem creature was expensive but you can see why when you deploy it! The AI really ramps up so make sure you attack fast and hard! Great game and one of the most enjoyable LD games I have played
fun game. nice remix.
Really beautiful and fun game! Would love to see it enhanced further with more unit types. Great job!
