while the game itself not bad, i enjoy it tbh, but, the character didnt look at the mouse correctly
it didnt spin correctly with the mouse, and also when i buy anything, it spawn far off to the right (outside of the frame), thus at first i tho its didnt spawn.
and also it'll be nice if the ground have some texture, cause i dont have any point reference if i'm moving or not , thats what i experience when i cant/not see the farm that i spawn
The game was okay.
I think that the graphics could use some improvement.
I would've liked it if the player rotated properly. XD
The game would be a lot more interesting if there were different towers and different enemies.
the rotation i think its becuse of the img position, i switching game engines anyway (to phaser). ill make a remake in the future (and post it here).
ill fix the spawn problem.
about the texture it will probbly be in the future vertion too.
CMLSC :
i agree it would be more fun with more monsters and towers...but i only had 48 hours. i planned for a much bigger scope with powerups and upgrades, teleporting enemy once you hit it,shooting enemy, and more...
i had to sacrifice a lot of features even basic ones like ui and sound effects.
Yes, as said before. Really hard to play due to the offset of screen/rotation/mouse.
I like the music a lot. Gives a good ambience to it. Art could get better,
SetTheBet: oh the rotation problem persists, it sholdnt affect gameplay to much the attack is an aoe hits all monsters around the player.
I really enjoyed the music. Pretty entertaining game.
The character didn't rotate properly, but then i found the hit area was a circle. :D
I guess more tower and enemy would be great.
Interesting game. I like it.
And it would be better with background
But it seems hard turn around in a browser, I can't facing up and attack.
I won at wave 21 or 22 with a cross of 5 farms with a crossbow in the four corners. The fact the crossbows are immortal make them too good of an investment. I don't think I even lost one of my five farms.
A little more mechanical depth is needed for it to be more interesting.
Nice music even if it does not scream medieval!
emmett_shatley :thank you.
ValiaP : yep you are an ideal player, you get it.
Kitkom :well background is one of the things i had to sacrifice to finish it. the attack is in all directions and if you have to face somthing just move the move a little more. when i move on to phaser engine i wont have this problem in future games.
Rico The Jammer :good im glad you finished it.it wasnt meant to be a hard game. the crossbows are immortal to make it easier.
when i remake it with the new game engine ill add more depth(and make the crossbow mortal).
im not a great musician but i can compose simple stuff.
medieval music with 6 instruments or more demand alot more time then i had in this compo.
Wave 15 :D I don't know why but i have wired move control. My mouse doesn't work fine in this game.
I found navigation and aiming quite hard. I would add a ground texture, and maybe have WSAD move in the direction the character is facing?
tenpn : aiming? with a sword and aoe (aka hit everything around you), well the players know best.
i didnt want to confuse so the movement is simple you push up the character goes up.
didnt have time left for ground texture or ui or sound efects,next time il plan better.
but ill consider all that for my next games.
As it has already been said, a little bit more work on the graphics would be better, and also more diversity. But hey that's a 48h gamejam game, so well done! I hope you'll keep working on it to improve it!
well the game works ^^
Music is great. But i`m sad that backround is only black.
Cool game!
A nice game !
I've played to something like 500 credits when I died.
It was repetitive, i've read onthe description thar I could build other things but I just have one farm, don't find the input ?
I'm a newbie i think sorry if i didn't play well but you should show controls in game.
The graphics are simple but stay nice and gameplay works well but as I said is repetitive.
You should add some other enemies like big red one, ...
The audio loop is annoying :/
Otherwise great job, continue :)
It felt pretty cool when I had a bunch of farms and crossbows up and running. I didn't notice any bugs, but would have liked something to make it clearer where I can place items. Like making the farm turn red if it was too far away from me or colliding with another farm, so it would be really clear that I couldn't put it there. Also, your "How to play" comments is more of a strategy guide, rather than letting us know what farms do, or what we're supposed to be trying to do.
Nice work! A little tricky to figure out at first but it quickly became pretty intense. The action escalated nicely and became pretty challenging after wave 25.
It would be nice if there was a little more feedback from the monsters, like which direction they will be attacking from and how much damage they are capable of taking. At the higher levels, it wasn't clear that my manual attacks were doing much damage at all. Also, the crossbows would seem to fire a ton at first, then stop. I wasn't sure if this was an ammo or reload issue or a glitch.
fun game!
Nice minigame! I sadly had to stop playing after lv22, with a ton of farmtiles and crossbows - the game slowed down to 4-6 FPS. But up to then, it was a lot of fun, with a bit of difficulty, having to build, expand and defend at the same time.
The ambient part of the sound loop is quite nice, too. The farm graphics look great, by the way, just the black background is a bit dull (not that it remained black for long, with all the blue squashed circles on it :P)
Efmi_ :time constraint.didnt have time to make background .
Xakkar:thanks.
MrBrenan : press 1 to buy farm,2 for trap,3 fence,4 crossbow .
DifferentName :great idea, and ye it is a strategy guide. ill fix that too. thanks for the help.
jscottmiller :ye i wanted to implemt it and a mini time too...but didnt have time. did you build farms and traps? how did you reach wave 25?
bushmango: thank you.
Vaiaphraim: yes its becuse of dom elemnts proformence...thats why im switching to phaser...
ye i didnt have time to work on the music,thanks i tried to draw the best i could. didnt have time for background texture.
I really enjoyed this! i managed to win by spamming crossbows mainly. it was enjoyable and felt suitably tense. it did slow down a bit towards the end with all the objects everywhere but it was playable. well done!
im glad you enjoyed this is only a prototype.
ye i know im the original crossbows spammer.
i will have a post mortom version in a week. im porting my engine to phaser.
there wont be any slow down or performance issue in that version .
Good job! Mixing a top-down shooter with resources management seems a very good idea, this can be quite addicting with further development.
Maybe in the future you could add an HUD with point-and-click options to build stuff, an animation for the player when he gets hurt, and I really think that this game will work better with guns/ammo and upgrades for both player and the created bases.
Keep up the good work! and sorry my broken english! ^^'
