Some really interesting mechanics you got going there! It has some elements of tower defense but with a twist that fits the theme really well. The music is really crazy :)

Nice entry! Best tactic apparently is to surround the pit with regular guards :D

As I expect of many of the games from this theme, it was difficult; that's kind of the caveat of the theme. And the difficulty is making the theme work without making it too difficult. For me, I'm not very good at your game, yet... I tried putting guards on one side, because I guess you run out of gaurds if you put too many... but I still wasn't very good. Game had a nice overall feel though. Either I hoped it would be a tad easier, or I just need a better strategy /get better at it. Thanks for making it so you don't have to download stuff.

@tulipekoni I tried to put guards everywhere once, but I ran out of guards (not exactly sure how that mechanic works, count-wise), so then I tried to put guards on one half, and cover other half with player

Funny and original tower defense! Good job!

Fun game, but difficulty level was so high that after a few playthroughs it was just a bit too repetitive. Wished I could spent more time setting up guards and maybe have a better idea up front how many I could place at a time.

I like the game but it got harder so fast that you couldn't really prepare!

Cute game, nice riff on the tower defence genre. The difficulty increased really rapidly and I had trouble putting up enough guards but otherwise nice job! I really liked the slime sprites :D

the slimes are so cute. i like the way you hint the player slimes are coming(the icons). nice work! But the game got harder so fast for me.

I did not find it very beautiful, but I found it fun and funny, congratulations.

Great game. Really fun and hard!! Is addictive and I really enjoy the tower defense games. 10/10 metacritics :3

I love how you took a tower defense game and applied the theme to it. I lost the first couple of times because my shadows were shooting me because I had no place to walk.

I like the idea of shadows which are danger to the character as well and you have to 'reload' them. I think the controls might be more responsive if remove "stop on shoot" and add an ability to speed-up / dash (e.g on 'shift') with some small mana-cost.

nice game. But why are the towers also attacking the player ?

@the-bm because the more you have, the worse it is ;)
