Great game, I loved the presentation, and the audio and art were both well done. I survived for 5:20 on my best run.

6:08 here.
I like the gameplay idea of being able to build new towers yourself. It really scales organically the way you lack materials in the early waves and later on, you really no longer care because every spacebug in the galaxy is out to steal your thunder. It's really the kind of game you get so immersed in, you stop noticing your surroundings. Definitely a cool game!
Great graphics, also, looooove the fact that enemies can steal the energy drops, keeps up the sense of urgency

I like it! I know you probably ran out of time but some kind of upgrade system would be nice. The player walks so slow!
Simple idea, nicely executed. It's fun to come up with additional features, like little helpers you buy that collect that stuff for you in a certain radius. But yeah overall well done!
Interesting mechanic. I underestimated how hard the game would get, thinking I wouldn't die, and next wave I did haha. The sound effects were really annoying, and with lots of monsters were killing my ears. Besides that I enjoyed it. Great job!
Very Cool !
Very Cool !
Great game; including my first try i played it around 7 times, my best time being the 7:46 for 3 of those. I couldn't get longer than that unfortunately. Either way- a very fun game (5 stars for fun in my opinion.) I would download it and keep it as one of those games to play when i have a few minutes to spare. The mood was good, the graphics were nice, the sound was well fitting- overall, great job.
(edit: new best is 9:30)
@machinescreen, I think I broke the game

10 energy bars out of 10
I really love how well you tied in the theme here with the actual rhythm of the game. You get overwhelmed by the number of corpses in the later phases and it makes you feel like you're in a strong position - but you really have no way to maintain the power for that number of pylons. It's surprisingly addictive despite its simplicity, and it's extremely satisfying to listen to your pylons fire off in unison at the end of each wave. Really awesome job!
Loved, really. A real difficult game, those freaking crawlers stealing my energy!! I spent a lot of time playing this and got to survive 7 mins, my best
Very fun, the game has a really nice mechanic where it gets harder naturally when you expand your pylons, you have to gather resources from a wider area and the upkeep makes you really tense. Really liked that. Graphics are nice and crisp, everything is clear, UI is well designed and the controls work, for the most part, well. Only thing I had trouble with was "refilling" the pylons when they sometimes wouldn't accept the refill.
The sounds were probably the weakest part, the music was a little bit repetitive, albeit fit the tense atmosphere. Once you got a bunch of pylons, the mess of sounds when they shoot at the same time really made me a little bit annoyed.
It's a very nice game, well done!
I love it! It is fun to play, the graphics look nice and the sound fits perfectly.
Good job!
This game is so cool! It's really fun to play!
This game escalates quickly into madness, It's a pity that I die quickly and before even more frenzy. Graphics are good and gameplay is intuitive, as a suggestion I'd say It would be nice to fill energy from top or bottom.
Nice game, did not beat the 23 minute someone posted but 5 minutes for the first time might not be to bad :). Simple elegant pixel art with a nice touchof 8 bit audio. It seemed like it was to easy at the start but i dit truely run out of power i was not quick enough to get the power.
Perhaps and something more to keep it intresting in the long run apart from the high score. Thats all i could think of but it sould stay simplistik since it is kinda what makes tha game so great. Keep up the good work!
The game is fun, and becomes more fun over time. But player speed should be faster. sometimes its just a pain to collect all of the energy nodes and scrap.
Nice and addictive! Well done
Survived for 4 minutes :D It was pretty fun and addicting. It gets hard pretty quickly (not that I mind though). I wasn't attracted by the color palette at first but I grew over me while playing, It actually fits the game atmosphere very well.
This game's amazing!
Were it not for somehow glitchy graphics, it would have been solid 5/5 as they can be a little harsh on the eyes.
Gameplay felt very smooth, nothing against sound design either and the fun factor, well, I spent half an hour with this one so I think I can say this game is surely fun to play :P
I uploaded my gameplay of this game on youtube, you can find it here

Thanks for being part of the stream :)
Funny game. Easy gameplay. I liked it.
Lasted 16 minutes before I gave up. There's no way you can't win.
Pretty tricky game, I feel like you walk too slowly, but I understand that adds to the difficulty. Maybe speed upgrades would be a good addition. Other than that, it was pretty engaging and I feel the sound works pretty well, though maybe bring up the music level a bit.
I played this game on stream at https://www.twitch.tv/videos/163826993 - Time 1:56:00
Really a great game. very fun. nice job!
Very fun game! :-)
I really like this one :) The art is nice and the mechanics are interesting. My only gripe is that walking feels painfully slow though maybe that just makes it more difficult.
My result is 4:04. :)
The mechanics are simple and easy to understand. It was fun balancing between building new turrets and recharge the old ones. For me, however, the game lacked dynamics at some point. It would be great to repeat some quick small actions for investing in long-term development or something like that. Say, you can build walls with scrap or upgrade the turrets.
As for the audiovisuals, it was simple but effective enough to turn on my imagination.
Thanks for the game!
With more than 8 and half minutes taking me on, this game is entertaining for sure. I liked the old fashion art, the simple yet challenging gameplay, and… I don't know, maybe the mood with this little chilling music like it was an horror game… Anyways, well done!
Nice little game, although it could benefit from a slightly higher player speed. That's why I wanted to place my pylons right next to one another, but my character preferred to refill them rather than construct new ones.
But it doesn't matter, the game was really fun, and that's the most important thing. Oh, and those sneaky bug-like creatures were really cute, too!
Really nice, as mentioned in the previous comment, I would've appreciated a faster player speed :D
I also think the game could've used a bit more variety (maybe different enemies? upgrades to player?) as it goes on. I really enjoyed this game though, and managed to survive about six minutes.
Very fun and well done at the core. Could have more content as the game goes on, but it's great as a jam product. :D
Fun and decently well polished. The atmosphere and mood was certainly cool thanks in part to the graphics and the music (which didn't get annoying as quickly as I thought it would). The sound effects piling up got a little too much towards the end but it was fun nonetheless!
Great game... just a bit buggy.
BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAH.
Just kidding. Really nice work.
Very fun to play! I got to 5:25 on the first try!
