Your game plays well enough. I think the difficulty ramps up far too fast though. I was never able to try out the more expensive towers because I always had to build cheaper ones to stay alive.

techblogogy 2014-12-08 13:35

Hey good job! This is quite an interesting game. Keep up the good work.

P.S. I'm also 15 years old.

domicuc 2014-12-08 13:37

RyanNielson - Thank you!
Yes, it seems that we are make bad difficulty :/ but thanks for comment !:) i must also check your game x)

tasteslikefuture 2014-12-08 13:38

Pretty fun tower defense. Good work!

domicuc 2014-12-08 13:39

Techblogogy - Thank you too! We are happy :) but your game is better! x)

domicuc 2014-12-08 13:39

Tasteslikefuture- Thank you x) i must check your game too!

lexgear 2014-12-08 13:40

I'm going to be perfectly honest with you. It's not the prettiest game.. But it's a crap load of fun. Seriously good job on that. Kind of like plants vs zombies but better. Good job.

domicuc 2014-12-08 13:43

LexGear- People i know that it's embarrassing.
But I have to thank everyone... Lexgear- Im also checking your project too! .) thanks.

javicepa 2014-12-08 14:10

Nice game! I've always liked the tower defense genre :)

domicuc 2014-12-08 14:11

Ozeotropo thanks! :) yeah TD is classic x)

maesk 2014-12-08 14:13

Great tower defense! Specially with both of you being so young. Quite a original theme for the game, more like Kitchen Defense :D

domicuc 2014-12-08 14:16

MaesK thanks a lot! x)kitchen,kitchen,kitchen long life to mascarpone ! xD

fnkee 2014-12-08 14:18

Good job on this! I like it [: I Scored 27900, as I had trouble defending against the right colors, and ended up selling all my towers to afford changing color. Might need some balancing, but other than that, very well made. Sweet music too.

losttraindude 2014-12-08 14:19

Nice idea for a tower defense game :D It took me few restarts before grasping how to beat even the first wave, but to me it's not a bad thing.

Some further visual feedback (a key to press, while facing a wave, that could tell you how far your "turrets" reach goes, to name one).

Overall, good job! :D

domicuc 2014-12-08 14:20

Fnkee Thank you mate! Good score! x) yeah .. it need balancing. Thanks x)

kulomin 2014-12-08 14:20

Very cool theme with the food and stuff. A simple enjoyful TD game

domicuc 2014-12-08 14:20

lostTrainDude xD.. we just like mascarpone!:D thanks x)

eruditespirit 2014-12-08 14:21

Really fun TD, even though I couldn't even clear 10 waves :P

The music was great btw.

domicuc 2014-12-08 14:21

Kulomin .. thanks :) we just all love food xD

domicuc 2014-12-08 14:22

Eruditespirit hah ! Thanks for music compliment x) and thanks thanks !! :) guys i must play all your games xD

hectorhon 2014-12-08 14:24

Exactly what the comments above says... difficult to keep up with the difficulty. Nice music though, I like it.

By the way, on the levels with the red things, why aren't any of my towers firing?

domicuc 2014-12-08 14:24

hectorhon.. looks like bug .. we must make some fix patch x) thanks mate :)

zorfmorf 2014-12-08 14:37

Doesn't look very good but it kept me playing quite some time! Very fun!

Free mode is problematic though, the openings where the enemies come in are so large, so it's very difficult to build a maze (I love building mazes) because you need to reinvest all money into upgrading your towers. Still it motivated me to try again and try to hold on one more wave!

domicuc 2014-12-08 14:41

Zorfmorf - Its minimalistic really ultra minimalistic graphics.. we can make a lot better graphics (kopula.dombee.eu) .. but thanks a a lot ! We must make some fix. x)

thescragglyman 2014-12-08 14:52

I love wave games, so this is right up my street, i'm terrible at it, but i will defiantly be playing again.

domicuc 2014-12-08 14:55

Scraggly.. xD im terrible at it too !:D thanks.

absor 2014-12-08 15:24

I wish the "towers" actually looked like spoons and knifes and so on. Music was nice. Well done!

domicuc 2014-12-08 15:26

Absor- Thanks mate! x)

ovidios 2014-12-08 15:32

Even though I'm terribly bad at tower-defense-games (I even had some problems with PvZ!), and therefore didn't really get to enjoy your game's medium or hard difficulty, I had fun playing around in easy-mode.

The graphics were not that exciting but I really enjoyed your game.

domicuc 2014-12-08 15:36

Ovidios .. if you really enjoyed our game,we are happy x) thanks,mate! :)

zorfmorf 2014-12-08 15:41

@Domicuc I think the part about graphics came on more harsh than it should. I'm not a fan of the visuals them but that doesnt effect the gameplay which is fun!. I'm actually still playing!

domicuc 2014-12-08 15:46

Zorfmorf ! LOL thanks mate! xD im glad you like it .) if you guys like some of our styles check our fb page: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=1396977653904463&ref=ts&fref=ts
thanks guys!:)

occamsrazor 2014-12-08 15:49

I always love a good tower defense game, great work! Loved the choice of setting too, I found that interesting.

It was a bit confusing at times, got to these Red things that I couldn't hit and I wasn't really sure why. Presumably something to do with enemy types?

Either way, great work, keep it up!

domicuc 2014-12-08 15:53

Yeah we are sorry for some bugs x(..
OccamsRazor - Thanks a lot! x)
All peoples say me "Dont make tower defense game".. wait .. you think this game is really good ? x) thanks :)

anokta 2014-12-08 16:02

liked the sound effects! :)

domicuc 2014-12-08 16:03

Anokta thanks x)

bubblemapgaming 2014-12-08 16:06

Standard Tower defence mixed up with some cool ideas. Mixed up see what I did there... Ok, I will let my self out

pjimmy 2014-12-08 16:09

nice take on the tower defense, well done.

domicuc 2014-12-08 16:12

Thanks guys x) we just try to make some minimalistic style game with some yeah.. Bubble "cool ideas XD".

duon44 2014-12-08 16:32

Pretty fun, kind of hard to manage though

domicuc 2014-12-08 16:35

Duon44 Yeah xD thanks mate :)

noahbrocz 2014-12-08 17:44

Very good tower-defense, with great feature of changing colours, but there should be more improvements. + for great music background

rantt 2014-12-08 18:11

This game is as fun as mascarpone is to say!...lol. I liked the music, and switching colors is a cool mechanic. Great job guys :)

eponesh 2014-12-08 18:14

Fantastick game, I love this tower defense!:)

domicuc 2014-12-08 18:21

Eponesh.. my friend,rantt my friend - BIG THANKS! :) Eponesh -- I love Brave Adventures x)

krisdevelopment 2014-12-08 20:41

Nice... but when you play free mode and then go to path mode you end up with... ghost foods passing through walls?!

domicuc 2014-12-08 20:44

Kris- Thanks for report!And thanks for comment :) I must look on it ! ;-D

jlouisb 2014-12-08 21:28

Simple and fun, it's a good tower defense

efux 2014-12-08 22:15

Cool game! It's a little bit difficult in the free mode but nonetheless fun to play!

syawqy 2014-12-09 01:16

all TD definitely need fast forward button

domicuc 2014-12-09 09:23

JlouisB - Thanks :)
Efux - yeah man thanks x)
Syawqa - I Agree .. we make a lot of mistakes but also we can make new things :) thanks mates.

2014-12-09 11:11

Sucks.

2014-12-09 11:12

Seen it, played it, disliked it. Dont recommend!

2014-12-09 11:12

Don't play this shit!

2014-12-09 11:16

BEST GAME !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! in JUNK

2014-12-09 11:18

Shit, game. Shit boss. You cant even win this shit.

2014-12-09 11:18

Sorry..but it isn´t normal game...It´s shit

2014-12-09 11:19

Whoever made this game is a fu*king FAG!

2014-12-09 11:20

I CAN´T STOP PLAY IT !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

pandamicro 2014-12-09 12:22

Good job !

tiagojdferreira 2014-12-09 12:43

A nicely done game. Keep up the good work.
Consider making change the colors of the tower free. The mechanic itself already adds an extra layer of complexity to the game, so by making it cost money your actually penalising the player. Once I lost because I had finished building towers to prevent an invasion, and the next turn the whole wave was a different color (meaning I needed 100+ just to keep up). One thing you might consider is making "change color" free, but make enemy waves with mixed colours (forcing the player to either micro manage their colours or have a good distribution among colours in a wave). If you do so, consider ramping up the difficulty slowly, by having wave 1 2 in blue, 3 4 in red, 5 in blue with 1-3 enemies in red, 6 with half half and only introduce the 3rd colour later. When you introduce a new color, make that whole wave that color.
If you decide to enter in a next LD, try to get a designer.

silii 2014-12-09 13:48

Interesting game, good difficulty

imaginarymonsters 2014-12-09 14:03

Really deep tower defense! Nice relaxing music too. The first time enemies changed color I got completely destroyed...should have read the instructions : D haha

eckcz 2014-12-09 15:10

I love TD games. And i love hard TD games. But this one is real hard. I love the game. Sweet background.

waschtl 2014-12-09 15:19

Nice game, but really hard. The color switch should come gradually, not all of a sudden.
It's a good effort, keep dev'ing! :)

robustinteractive 2014-12-09 15:30

I Love TD !!!!! good work!

domicuc 2014-12-09 15:58

Hey guys THANKS A LOT! Ignore those people at the top.. they are my "friends" from school .. but they are idiots so .. ignore them :)
Tiago- Thanks for big feedback!!! :)
And thanks to all ! Love you guys! x)

flwns 2014-12-09 16:38

I think the base game is definitely there to build upon, and you could make it pretty good. I didn't like the music and I don't understand why you could manually send in wave after wave, instead of it being automatic.

domicuc 2014-12-09 16:42

You dont like the music ? Okay .. thanks mate x) no problem.. thanks for reply!

timthebo 2014-12-09 17:03

Really fun TD game. Loved it

domicuc 2014-12-09 17:05

TimtheBo.. thanks mate! x)

flying-jester 2014-12-09 18:04

I am not too much a fan of the color mechanic.

ulydevsecondgame 2014-12-09 18:06

Wow ! The title quite disturbed at first, but the game itself is very well done.

domicuc 2014-12-09 18:08

Flying-- Yeah .. me too .. xD thanks for reply! :)
UldevSecondGame - Mascarpone mate !:D wait a moment.. i must check your game too! X) THANKS.

alecmilne 2014-12-09 18:16

I found that as soon as the red ones came in I lost. The cost of changing the towers to red meant I had no money coming in for buying a stronger tower.

ellian 2014-12-09 18:19

Nicely done, I'm amazed that you were able to put a fully fledged tower defense in such time!
I had a little trouble with colors, by the time I realized I could change my tower's colors, it was too late :(

Great work though!

allurious 2014-12-09 18:19

Quite neat! It wasn't obvious where the wave was first coming from so I had to guess where to put my first turrets which was kinda sad, but it's obvious you put a bunch of effort into the game. Good job!

domicuc 2014-12-09 18:29

Alecmilne- Yeah we make a lot of mistakes but we worked on only 20hours+- :( im sorry mate.. thanks for reply.

Ellian- Wow.. your game looks really awesome and rating from you .. im happy,thanks!

Allurious- LOL .. im glad you like it man .. your game looks beautiful .. i must look on it! :) thanks!!

legacycrono 2014-12-09 20:16

The color mechanic makes it really difficult, but it's interesting! Maybe tweak a bit the difficulty curve? Still, nice work!

domicuc 2014-12-09 20:35

Maybe one day come HD remake.. XD.. thanks mate.. yeah you have truth.. thanks :-).

2014-12-09 20:35

OMG!! I just can't win medium... Your game beat me! Too much FUNNNY! :DD That's great game with really nice music. You made music Dominicus?

domicuc 2014-12-09 20:42

Yeah its so hard sorry guys ;-D.. yeah man i make this little music :) thanks FelicisElm *-*

2014-12-09 20:48

Yeeey im sorry,sorry!:(- my developer IQ :D) Thanks a lot!!!:) watch dombee softworks on FB :) gn

brombatti 2014-12-09 22:32

Great game ^^ just thought I could improve the graphical part. But the mechanics are very functional. I lost a little in also''menus''.

domicuc 2014-12-10 04:15

Thank you :)

moee 2014-12-10 09:33

Fun but hard, well play guys !

domicuc 2014-12-10 12:14

Thanks mate :3 :)

mrlarryli 2014-12-10 16:10

The game is good and reminds me a bit of Desktop Tower Defense. I initially thought enemies went down the screen because the towers pointed up and there was a white box on the bottom. The text on the bottom could be a little darker to contrast the light background.

domicuc 2014-12-10 16:50

Heh Larry thanks x)

androniq 2014-12-10 16:56

Very good. I'm not usually into playing tower defence games, but I enjoyed that.

domicuc 2014-12-10 17:02

Thanks ElectricSeagull! I Enjoyed your game too! x)

slothmachine 2014-12-10 17:13

Great tower defence. This proves once again that good gameplay doesn't need that fancy graphics :) . I prefered path mode over the free mode. I didn't really know how to optimise my turrets in free mode.

Also amazing that you can make games so young! Good Job!

domicuc 2014-12-10 17:17

Slothmachine - Thank you so much! Yeah you are right we just want to make game with other mechanics.. so graphics is minimalistic :) .. i like path mode too x).
Man i dont know what im doing on this world if computer games doesnt exist.. thanks! :)

sanchitgulati 2014-12-10 17:45

could use finesse but liked the sfx.

domicuc 2014-12-10 18:11

Thanks mate :)

boaheck_artgent 2014-12-10 18:49

The balance is all off. But other than that all the systems work perfectly. A post jam version with a few improvements would be good.

domicuc 2014-12-10 19:01

Thanks man! :) yeah maybe yeah :)

HelkeGames 2014-12-10 20:05

Great game guys! I loved it! Well done ^^

domicuc 2014-12-10 20:09

Hellequin thanks mate! Your game looks awesome too! :)

eemmbbeerr 2014-12-11 16:52

Pretty entertaining and the sounds are really well done. What I would suggest is warning the player when the first different-colored wave comes in, it devastated me on the first play.

domicuc 2014-12-11 17:26

xD sorry mate.. thanks for long reply! :)

lukepilgrim 2014-12-11 17:45

fun little tower defense game!

domicuc 2014-12-11 18:27

Thank you lukepilgrim x)

notnasiul 2014-12-11 18:52

I'm not a fan of TD games, but you certainly did well : )

domicuc 2014-12-11 19:19

Luis Anton thank you so much ! :)

hoyt-hoy 2014-12-11 19:46

Nice game!
I love tower defense.
The wave loading bar on bottom screen is helpful!
Good Work!

domicuc 2014-12-11 19:54

Thank you! :)

off 2014-12-11 20:49

Simple but good tower defense, classical but well done. It's just sad that the cooking theme was not really used, the words are here but it's still square and dot.
But thats a really great idea to make a tower defense cooking game.
Could really be a good game.

domicuc 2014-12-11 21:14

XD hehe thanks OFF :)

spartanicecream 2014-12-12 00:58

Nice!

domicuc 2014-12-12 11:40

SpartanIceCream Thank YOU!!! :)

drgeraud 2014-12-12 14:10

Nice little game with an interesting idea :]

domicuc 2014-12-12 15:30

Thanks Doc! XD .)

jjevil 2014-12-12 18:36

Interesting game. Good job!

edve98 2014-12-12 18:53

Pretty nice game! I have found bug though: if you press next wave the turrets won't attack the next wave's enemies, they will only finish the lst wave's enemies and will stop

crocantidepollo 2014-12-12 19:06

Nice tower defense game. I'm really bad at it though D: But well, I'm usually bad at tower defense games so, it's ok! :D

atomicvikings 2014-12-12 19:08

Nice tower defense game :D Would like to see more detail on the entities, seeing as the interface was really well done and clean. Awesome music, really cheerful but not as long as I hoped.
overall, nice entry! :)

domicuc 2014-12-12 19:15

JJEvil - THANKS !
Edve98 - Thanks a lot!
Crocanti - Yeah XD me too thanks !
Atomic - Thanks a lot! :) we are happy! *-*

gins 2014-12-12 19:29

Nice tower defense game. The colors are a nice touch, but they really make the game a bit complicated if you don't expect them.

domicuc 2014-12-12 19:37

Gins - Yeah sorry for that ! Thanks a lot ! :)

bitserum 2014-12-13 00:12

This was nice, i had great time, its fun, funny, audio is great.
Switching colors really messed me up :) Makes the game really challenging. Awesome what you did in 72 hours.
Great job.

domicuc 2014-12-13 08:52

Bitserum - Thanks mate.. your game is awesome what you did in 72 hours! Respect man! :)i hope one day we will be good like you!

saturnyn 2014-12-13 11:24

Nice game, and nice music. I lost because I didn't have money to change towers when the ennemies turned red. Maybe you should warn about that (or maybe you do and I missed it ;)
Great work anyway !

webravenz 2014-12-13 12:39

classic game but nicely done, good job !

domicuc 2014-12-13 12:56

Saturnyn - Thank you! *-*
Webravenz ! Thanks mate! :)

mrbadivan 2014-12-13 20:18

Pleasant game, very moody, nice audio =)

sharky 2014-12-13 20:29

GREAT GAME! I lost myself playing that game for probably over a hour XD Could use a shortcut to change all tower's color's in 1 click, as well as a warning to which color is coming next down on the bar(They all look like blue down there) the bosses are unbeatable basically and need their hp cut in half if not more than that. Graphics could use upgrading. A description of the towers at lv1 would be nice before planting the tower down. As your placing a tower it'd be nice to see its range while placing before set in place.

shellfishgames 2014-12-13 21:10

Ha, brilliant. Didn't expect that much from an 48h TD game, but you really nailed it. Differently behaving tower types, reasonable upgrades, a good GUI, hotkeys, decent balancing, a boss wave in the end and even a free mode that seems to include pathfinding? (Never made it past wave 2 there, so can't really tell)
Very good effort, and you're only 15?! :)

domicuc 2014-12-14 11:26

MrBadIvan - THANKS MATE!
Sharky - XD thats good! :D yeah .. shortcut good idea :) thanks for long FEEDBACK!

ShellfishGames- Thanks mate! We are making this with friend and we are only 15 yeah ! :) Thanks !!

folmerkelly 2014-12-14 12:30

Yay Tower Defense! I once ran a campaign (a couple of LD's ago) to try and get as many people as possible to make a TD game no matter what the theme was going to be, so I'm always excited to see them :)

I dig the title, the art is good - and a smart way to go for a time-limited jam!- and just the amount of content you managed to get in here is impressive, kudos to you!

It's definitely hard but TD games are always going to be tricky to balance, especially in such a short amount of time. All in all: Great entry!

domicuc 2014-12-14 12:40

Formerkelly - Thank you ! :O

lycrashampoo 2014-12-15 07:19

Really fun tower defense! I especially liked the idea of having to change up your strategy to accommodate different enemy colors. In practice, though, preparing for the red puddings proved difficult: for one thing, I had no idea they were coming the first time, and they sailed past my blue spoons while I was trying to figure out how to change their color.

I was "ready" for them the second time, but soon discovered that you couldn't build a red tower right off the bat (I think?), you had to build a blue one and change its color.

Still, with some more work and playtesting on this I think you've got a really fun game!

mekuri 2014-12-25 13:07

Great game! I love tower defense games. Very nice audio and mood, it worked great with the minimalistic graphics style, which I also liked :-) Good job!

2hitadam 2014-12-26 18:47

Hahahah I suck at tower defense games, but this was fun and cute. Good job :)

sk16games 2014-12-27 18:47

Very fun game to play, but becomes pretty hard when the new colours enter. Guess what, I'm 15 too! Great game :)

jupiter_hadley 2014-12-28 13:29

Cool tower defense game! I Included it in part 18 of my Ludum Dare 31 compilation video series, if you would like to check it out :) http://youtu.be/fGRz-9CpOIg
