Very nice all around. Should have an easy way to quit though (Esc key?)

Really neat resource management with only one resource. I like that you need to manage to have time with no guns firing to get recharged quickly. Great work.

Really simple but also clever game ! I like the general aesthetics. Great job ! :)

windclay 2017-08-01 15:19

Great graphics, original concept, great audio and the theme is respected! A+

sergei-ryzhov 2017-08-01 17:28

superb, very stylish and smart!

Great game mechanic/use of theme, dig the colour palette too.

skullpixel 2017-08-01 21:01

This is a neat little game! The gameplay stands out from the rest of LD because I have yet to see someone else use this concept. It was fun to play, and I really liked the player's design and animation. Somebody please high-five your artist.

Wow this was a great game all around, the graphics were awesome, the music was nice and fit the mood really well, the sound effects were great and really helped cue when the little energy crystals dropped. The game was a lot of fun and provided a decent challenge.

Cute and fun game, a bit hard to me, but perfectly suits the theme. Plus the gfx are exactly my kind.

rijnswand 2017-08-02 03:05

Fantastic game! The gameplay is really engaging and I liked the style of the graphics very much.

gamepopper 2017-08-02 12:47

The weapon management works really well, and I like both the art design and the music. Even the little voice has is quirky. Very fun and fitting game for the theme. Great work!

zulubo 2017-08-02 13:40

Another amazing rogue noodle game! really original and creative. Nice work :)

coauctor 2017-08-02 14:16

What I liked the most:

1. Art style 2. Camera behavior at the start 3. Dynamics created by enemy waves 4. The base has five turrets, which also contributes to the dynamics

What confused me a bit:

1. I had a feeling that sometimes the robot sticks to a turret 2. Seems like sometimes you can't stop firing

Overall, cool polished little game with nice details!

Great entry. I wish there were more of a reward for when you beat the game but otherwise it's as good as it can be.

theflyingkeyboard 2017-08-02 17:41

Awesome game with interesting mechanics, great art and epic sound effects. It is very polished and well designed.

jose 2017-08-02 19:21

Very nice game, perfect pace. Maybe it would be nice to have some different kind of enemies but the game itself it's very addictive as it is now

prodigalson 2017-08-02 19:28

couldn't get to repair any turrets as I kept exploding but the visuals are nice, the music is smooth and not distracting, the idea so simple and well executed. I just had a hard time managing the resources felt there wasn't enough breaks in between waves to recharge or pickups to restore but I did feel like I was running out of power constantly so I say you nailed the theme :D

genpaku 2017-08-02 20:19

Awesome game ;)

giustitia 2017-08-02 23:05

Amazing game for a Jam! :D

herniewise 2017-08-03 03:33

Pretty cool entry overall! I found it on Twitter :)

jmholland96 2017-08-03 10:56

Lovely visual style

shadowbrain 2017-08-03 13:45

Fun little game, love the visual style. :)

ondrej-paska 2017-08-03 14:08

Wow, that looks just beautiful. Well balanced too. Good job!

As always, really well made game. I played the web-version with touch screen and it was quite nice interaction even though I shadowed some of the lower regions with my hands. Still it was much easier than using alternative inputs. The twist on tower defense, that you kind of have automatic turrets but the problem is keeping power up was really interesting, and that could have taken further to incorporate humor into the game. That your job was more of maintenance, shutting down system that kept insisting that they needed to be up. Still very well made entry, even though not as addictive as many of your other games. The way the game ended was a bit weird. I'm not even completely sure what the fail-condition was, but I got the feeling that the game entered pause-mode and the next key press would send it to the "menu" again. Two things were odd with it. I didn't quite understand what caused the death, and for the starting of the game and the play, I could do with touch/mouse, but it seemed like I needed to press a button to reset the game. In all though, a really well made game, with the disturbingly slick graphics and nictunes. So don't take the comment wrong, it was a really well made game!

remzo 2017-08-03 21:33

Very cool game! The visuals and sound are awesome. It took a couple of deaths to realise that the enemy explosions kill you and that you didn't lose as soon as they got a turret. Was still fun to frantically power on and off the turrets. Nice one!

flyingmeta 2017-08-03 22:37

Well-polished and fun game! :) Simple and easy to understand. Only issue is knowing how to restart, which I figured out just my clicking around. Good job!

asofi 2017-08-04 07:47

Really pleasant to play)

julian-perez 2017-08-04 08:37

Fun game, fully enjoyable. Simple idea, awesome implementation. Looks like a professional game for mobile devices. Congratulations!

mianagames 2017-08-04 22:34

Cool! Very nice game.

gabet-games 2017-08-05 17:08

Really enjoyed! Very beautiful art and mechanics very fluid and polished. Awesome!

yetman 2017-08-05 21:18

At first, I thought that I need to keep holding the turret and clicking to fire, then I saw one turret firing faster without my supervision, and that is when I realized how stupid I am. The game is fun and challenging and the art is great, especially your color choice. The game is very challenging; hopefully, I will win some day xD

mike-cullingham 2017-08-05 21:58

Really liked this. I found dying via explosion was what usually got me. I could manage the other stuff but I always seemed to be standing in the wrong place. Very good idea for the theme. Great ui & fun graphics. Ideally would like an intro level with less time and fewer turrets to man, but this is excellent for LD.

ledez 2017-08-06 13:06

I really like the graphics. Really enjoyed. Its a fun game.

bombjack 2017-08-06 21:18

Wow! amazing addictive game. The art is simple but great. The music and sounds perfectly fit their purpose and the gameplay is great. Solid entry! :smile:

rune-drawer 2017-08-07 13:29

Was fun to play, but at first it was a little unclear for me why I kept exploding. Nice little game with sexy graphics and sound ٩(^ᴗ^)۶

schu 2017-08-08 20:51

Very simple but great use of the theme and it was surprisingly challenging!

raaaahman 2017-08-09 08:32

Nice game. The whole seems pretty polished and the simple gameplay is entertaining. It seem you will loose the game not much after you lost a turret, maybe the ability of dragging and dropping turrets on empty spots could help you manage the game a bit longer.

Well done.

tuism 2017-08-10 16:55

Dude! Superb game! The mechanics are deceptively simple but incredibly difficult to master, it looks really simple from video playthroughs, but when you're in the thick of it it's very hard to actually track everything. But the actions are so simple that the challenge is never from confusion.

Only bits of improvement I can think of: * The on/off states are less obvious than I'd prefer them, yes the wires are there but I guess you've intentionally made them less than perfectly clear. * I'd love some kind of mapping to keyboard to move the little guy to turrets, clicking is less speedy than I'd like it to be. It fits touch perfectly, I guess! * There wasn't really indication of those pickups being pickups - that would have been nice to know off the bat.

That's it really. GREAT JOB :D

siridakis 2017-08-10 17:18

Your game is great, you make a simple idea into something fun and addictive! The music is excellent.

seconddimension 2017-08-12 13:34

Beautiful graphics, I love the colour palette. The game itself was fun too, trying to balance all the guns and the repairs! To me it felt a little too hard, either the power drained too quickly or didn't recharge quick enough. Other than a little balancing it's a nice entry

franklins-ghost 2017-08-18 14:03

One of my favourite entries so far this jam. Loved how polished and complete it felt to play. Liked how simple the mechanics are but how well they're done and that it keeps you playing more and more trying to get further each time. Also impressed at how much depth you were able to get in to something that at first seems so straight forward. Learnt to really manage my turrets and at times letting them get destroyed and repaired rather then risking getting hit. Fun fun entry, nice job.

Hello! It was interesting to get acquainted with your game, it turned out to be quite exciting. I now often try different games to pass the time and find something interesting to do, recently even tried my hand at Path of Exile. Path of Exile doesn't like that you can trade with other players and sell items for better progress, by the way, I found out all the details about this in an article on the Cakeboost website https://cakeboost.com/page/blogs/path-of-exile/ how-to-sell-stuff-on-poe-trade&687661620 where the guys described everything in detail.
