I couldn't download anything from the Uppit sites. Thankfully, I was able to run the JAR from Mega. This entry shows a great deal of effort - it shows! After I got the hang of things, I wasn't getting owned as much :P.

Cool game.
A game that is not about snowman for once hehe.

Very good game, but for me too slow, also the time is passing to slow, but good game!

I feel that the random spawning can be a bit brutal early on, before you get fences set up. Monsters would often spawn simultaneously on opposite sides for me, and I wasn't fast enough to take them both down.

enzo42 2014-12-08 20:52

I agree the spawning is a little extreme, I've been able to get to day 6. Best way is to try to farm with all your money as long as you can and buy the iron sword.

Looks pretty well thought out.

Wow, it gets really intense real quick!
As Enzo42 said, the first thing to buy is the iron sword, so plant some seeds and sell some wheat until you can... After that, there's not much you can do, sadly, I couldn't get far enough in the game to unlock more than the iron fence, which is very expensive and doesn't protect you much longer than the wooden one...
A little frustrating, but a great game nonetheless!

I liked this, atmospheric at night time as well. Nice work, fun game.

Liked the idea and the will behind this game. It's a bit time consuming tho.

havi 2014-12-09 17:06

Nice game! Could definitely be very fun and stratetic if added more stuff to build. :)

The game time is progressing too slow. Also as there is not so much content the game get boring soon. But there is some potential, with some other structures to build I can imagine this as good innovative tower-defense-like game :-)

enzo42 2014-12-10 01:48

At first the time seems too slow, but when you reach day 4+ i find I don't have enough time to put everything down in time. I should of made an option to speed time up to prevent the waiting the first few days

I had fun with this game! I got to day 6. I kind of wish there was a goal day to reach or something. And the game did move a bit slow, sometimes I just wanted to skip to the next scene.

With the addition of more types of things to place and different enemies, this game could be really great! :)

esaygin 2014-12-12 07:27

Good but t00 slow

sorlok 2014-12-13 07:59

Cool idea, but controls get "stuck" a bit (I can't move around all the time). I like the real-time plus farming idea. Good job!

ynots 2014-12-13 08:40

pretty good..

p1x3lruckus 2014-12-13 10:23

Nice graphics, nice gameplay, very hard but that might just be me. Maybe could of used checkpoints, but I suppose the difficulty was very much purposeful.

pjimmy 2014-12-13 11:29

simple tower defense type game, but it's fun and challenging, well done. imo the build button should be on top, next to the stats.

_estuardolh 2014-12-13 15:40

level 0 too hard D': haha

sfdnetwork 2014-12-13 22:03

Things get very interesting after the second day. I like the game. I would say though, using the arrow keys, the mouse and space bar didn't really work. I would much preferred WASD, Spacebar and the mouse.

riocide 2014-12-13 22:17

The attacking is very unintuitive and overall the game feels a bit slow paced but if graphics and sound got some tweaking this may get more interesting!

sakergames 2014-12-14 18:01

Nice survival game, it's a bit hard to play. :)
