Very nice concept!

gollunk 2016-04-20 13:41

Good one !

arvydas 2016-04-20 13:42

vururia 2016-04-20 13:56

tentacode 2016-04-20 14:39

Cool graphics!

sin-gaiiden2 2016-04-20 14:46

Cool graphics and good gameplay . Good Work !!!

jni 2016-04-21 13:32

Really good work! I like the graphics, it looks like a good mobile game!

evogengames 2016-04-21 13:38

nice graphics, gameplay could be better but good use of the theme!

taviandir 2016-04-21 14:03

Fun but very difficult. Those "info boxes" (or what you wanna call them) I couldnt see in game when I played, which would've helped a lot with choosing the kind of animal I would go for.

vctr_seleucos 2016-04-21 14:06

Good job!

mike-cullingham 2016-04-21 14:10

Great concept. I didn't get the popups that are displayed in your screenshots, so was only slightly aware of the difference between some of the creatures. Very beautiful graphics and great sound.

wisedawn 2016-04-21 14:13

A very interesting reverse-tower-defense concept! I must note that I also did not get the popups shown in the screenshots.

pelvicthruust 2016-04-21 14:22

Really liked the idea.

khanatos 2016-04-21 14:26

Nice game concept. Good job!

pixzleone 2016-04-21 14:31

Very cool concept, and well done too. I'm not very good at it xD

davisan 2016-04-21 14:41

Very good! Awesome art! Has a lot of potential.
Finished on my first run. XD

fafastudio 2016-04-21 14:52

Cool graphics !
I would just say, that the game is a little slow, but it's a personnal opinion ^^
Good job guys !

mementogames 2016-04-21 14:55

The art is beautiful! And nice twist to the tower defense genre. Sometimes the puppies were acting weird, like going back. Solid entry!

team-tiger 2016-04-21 15:36

Nice looking game. there were some path finding issues I think but overall worked pretty well.

gjarble 2016-04-21 15:38

Nice concept, and the graphics are great. I found it kinda funny that my primary strategy was to summon smaller animals in front of me to act as meatshields so the towers didn't shoot me. I also did not get the popups with the stats for each animal, but it was simple enough to deduce some things about them just from playing: the Bear is slow with high defense, the Bird is fast with low defense, and the Fox and Wolf are in between. That said, it wasn't exactly clear to me why I should choose one animal over another at any time. I guess part of this is because I don't know what the towers do, or how they affect the animals differently. For instance, how does being an Air animal affect the Bird differently from the other animals? Does it dodge shots more easily? Can some towers not reach it? I did figure out that the yellow towers *only* shoot the Bird, but I don't see a difference between the red, green, and blue towers. If some of this information was clearer, it might be easier to form a strategy.

nihilaleph 2016-04-21 16:18

Nice concept! Interesting take on TD! Graphics are nice too~

Great work!

pestelcrew 2016-04-21 16:26

Interesting idea indeed.

the-m 2016-04-21 17:04

Cool game! It's a bit short and started very abruptly but I really liked the concept.

matmortatti 2016-04-21 17:58

Great game! it looks great and it's really fun :D

ducktieteam 2016-04-21 18:20

It a quiet interesting concept. The game is very cool. Initially it is a bit hard to master, but it is okay.

dreschler 2016-04-21 19:16

Omg, dude, how did you make it for a 72 hours game jam? Impressive.

team_disposable 2016-04-21 19:45

Good looking graphics, fitting music. I enjoyed playing this, thanks. The infoboxes people are mentioning would have helped, I only figured out the strategy through looking at the screenshots.

sndr 2016-04-21 20:49

The art is amazing!! It looks very polished! I like how you used the theme here, and the gameplay looks quite interesting. Nice entry!

oliver_mb 2016-04-21 22:52

The graphics are awesome!!!

gurkenlabs 2016-04-21 23:23

very cool graphics :)

balbinoaylagas 2016-04-21 23:53

i liked the game, found it kinda slow but it was good. great work!

khaos_fang 2016-04-22 02:18

Not a new idea but nice graphics.

tobia88 2016-04-22 04:11

Cool concept, reverse of tower defense

sharrackor 2016-04-22 12:03

Very good graphics, and nice idea! I didn't get popups as mentioned previously, and would have preferred a tutorial.

lochmann-apps 2016-04-22 13:25

Awesome visuals, great concept! Really enjoyed playing it. A bit difficult to understand which tower and which animal has which properties. Some kind of tutorial or different levels with increasing difficulty would be great, but obviously you had very limited time. If you put some more work into the game and add multiple levels, I could very well imagine this to be a great mobile game! Keep up the good work :)

Also, if you have some spare time, it would be great if you check out our game as well!

diebackstudios 2016-04-22 13:48

Wow great game! kewl mix of genre

fabraz 2016-04-22 14:03

Nice color coding and the GUI icons of the animals are excellent. Interesting tower defense take, considering you're the attacker. Moves a little too slow.

differentname 2016-04-22 14:55

Took a couple minutes for me to figure out what I was supposed to do, cause at the start I didn't even realize I was the bear. It was really tough, but a clever idea that used the theme well. I'd like to see more reverse tower defense games like this.

runvs 2016-04-22 15:33

This is a really nice entry. I like TD games. The Graphics and the sound are very good. The difficulty is quite high, but I like that. Some small tutorials on the creatues would have been nice. Well done! :)

hectigo 2016-04-22 19:07

The graphics are pretty nice and colorful, but the towers could use something more design-wise. Gameplay-wise it wasn't really communicated well enough which of the different creatures should be chosen to counter the towers, and I'm not sure if there's much reason to have the summon button. It seems like the best idea is just to summon as much as possible, so it could just be automatic. Though maybe I missed something since I never got to the end of the level.

josefnpat 2016-04-23 00:59

Nice mix of mechanics! Nice job!

samlo 2016-04-23 12:24

Neat concept, art style is great. Extremely polished. Would love to see you guys turn this into a mobile game or something

fatsopanda 2016-04-23 14:16

A very nice game overall. I like the graphics and the idea a lot. The gameplay felt sometimes a bit too slow to me and the game itself was quite hard. Still, a great idea and a great usage of the theme!

terryg 2016-04-23 18:49

Nice. Took me a while to realize that I can't move the character, and the info boxes didn't appear me me either (firefox). Overall nicely done. Took me a while to figure out the right animal.

marmpa 2016-04-23 20:06

Really nice game.I really liked that you were at the reverse end of tower defense game.Really good job.The game seems be really hard worked.

vidsneeze 2016-04-24 07:06

Cool, I like the concept of a reverse tower defense.

kestrelgames 2016-04-24 09:28

Nice twist on the tower defence genre. Could use some explanation about what the strengths and weakness of the enemy tower types were, was never really sure when shapeshifting was a good idea.

monetai 2016-04-24 13:14

Nice graphics !

hyden 2016-04-24 17:20

Not sure if I was the shapeshifter or if I was meant to kill the shapeshifter xD But that probably because I didn't wait around to see what happened when/if he died.

bubsypoochies 2016-04-24 20:04

Nice concept with amazing graphics. You have something with a lot of potential here!

mzhovnach 2016-04-25 09:40

Towers and shapes descriptions are added.

orukinawa 2016-04-26 10:49

That's awesome work considering the duration of the jam

kalth-streil 2016-04-26 17:44

You reversed the concept of tower defense, WOW. Cool graphics, fun, nice game! Well done :)

xanjos 2016-04-26 18:36

Really fun and interesting entry. I loved how you've used the theme and I dig the reverse tower defence mechanics.

mkghoster 2016-04-26 20:15

Good job! Nice UI!

cmlsc 2016-04-27 01:45

Good idea, but a bit hard.

crimson713 2016-04-28 13:04

Nice game! Fits the theme greatly, and has nice graphics. New take on the tower defense genre. A bit hard, but that's not a bad thing.

adipson 2016-04-30 08:36

yeah ! nice graphics

starpixie 2016-05-01 02:06

Cool game. A bit hard >_<. Very polished graphics. Great take on theme.

neilcorre2k6 2016-05-01 06:28

Nice game! :D at first i thought I control the towers, haha

aaranos 2016-05-03 01:28

Couldn't get past the last lane. I think it could use more balancing but it has a lot of polish on the visuals.

kairosxiii 2016-05-03 04:13

Graphics and concept were awesome. Nice take on theme.

aflatminerstudios 2016-05-04 04:08

Quite a neat idea. Took a good number of tries to figure out a good strategy for getting through.

almax27 2016-05-07 11:46

Great Graphics, liked the concept and difference's between characters, had a few glitches of the minions going backwards. Good game! (Summer)

maekeruu 2016-05-08 05:12

WOW! sick graphics ... very interesting take on the tower defense genre :)

jaenis 2016-05-08 14:39

Great game!

2016-05-10 12:05

That's a good idea, to put the shapeshifting theme into a tower defense! Nice game!
