Really fun! I'll have to come back later to get farther

Felt good. Fun fast paced game. I would like to see which trap I have selected and the cost though. I would also like an alternate button for dropping traps, I am using a touchpad and dislike trying to right click when I am aiming. That is just me though. Nice work :)

nice game :) Looks like "retro supercratebox".

This game was a ton of fun. Really solid and well implemented. The particles from some of the gun blew my mind.

Hands down the most addicting and fun thing I have played today. Amazing job! (: Loved the art, the combat, the fast paced levels. Nice!

wow this is surprisingly very fun!! the art could be better, but the gameplay and music is great!

Difficult, very crazy and fun

Fun game! Really similar to Super Crate Box!
Good job! ^^

Really hard, crazy effects, nice concept!

It seems boring at first glance, but the longer you play the better it gets. Well done.

This was fun to play :)
Good job

A good surprise, I didn't except much at first, but it's solid game, very addictive and well polished. Good job man !

I dig retro style, very nice and simple game!

hippolyta 2014-12-09 18:26

Good work! That was fun to play, it also worked pretty smoothly. I may have to return later :)

Loads of fun. I love the sort of neo-Atari style graphics and the special weapons are a joy to use. More addicting than I thought it would be, great job!

A very minor quibble: Would be nice if you could use Space to start the next round, so you don't have to move the hand away from WASD :P

I really like this game. It's a simple concept that has been done really well.

Hi there. Nice idea, but too hard, couldn't ever get to money. May need different strategy ;) Bookmarked for relook. Like the 8-bit music and graphics. Good job!

This entry is pretty great, JayProg: nice work! The gameplay was genuinely entertaining, and I really liked the music--it was an excellent accompaniment to the action! Haha

Liked:
- The gameplay! Felt smooth and easy to use.
- The graphics! Nice atari style.
- The music! Perfectly complementing the graphics with a catchy tune
- The powerups! Lots of fun! I'm glad you took the time to add them.
- The idea! Very cool, I love tower defense, and I also love shooting down waves of enemies myself. Great way of mixing those things

Disliked:
- My character health. Was there a health bar? I always died from being hit by enemies and felt like I never got to fully realize my awesome traps. I actually think it would be cool if your character was unkillable, and instead was impeded in some other way when enemies hit him (maybe he wouldn't be able to shoot for a while).
- Jump height. I felt it could've been a biiiiittt more (this is a really nitpick-y thing)

Overall really fun game! Love the idea, I think it has a lot of potential.

Graphics is awesome! But goal isn't clear.

phocker 2014-12-22 04:39

that was really fun - you should try to make this full game
