Great concept and idea. Add some graphics, levels and it should be good for mobiles. Combining successful :)
You need to be fast to build the towers you need ( i did not make it past wave 7) but very fun.
Nice! First time I was way too slow but second I managed to throw down enough to get started. My layout is really inefficient and I'm out of room. Waiting for the inevitable! :) Untitled-1.jpg Super fun, really nice take on the theme.
I liked the game. Really needs a tutorial / instructions before you start as absolutely no time in game to read the tower explanations. A slight break / pause between waves would distinguish them and give the player a sense of progression. Good simple but sharp design and smooth play. Well done.
Cool game, but I was lost at the very beggining x) When I understood, I was searching for a reset button, but no, there is none x) Cool concept too ! And I liked the music ! Overall cool game, keep coding :)
Nailed the theme. Liked the game. New spin on a tower defense. :smile_cat: The game would be a lot better if you could place multiple towers after one another. (ctrl + click?) Would love to see a upgrade feature. I have not idea how that would work in a match type game. Maybe if you got 4 or more in a row you upgraded all towers of that type? I like the simple graphics, but could be improved. :fox:
Great game. Great take on the theme and also a blast to play!
Interestingly, I think the addition of the match 3 mechanic to earn towers actually solves one of the long-standing problems of many tower defense games, where they can get a bit slow when waiting to earn money to buy towers. You might be on to something here. Great job!
I was having a lot of difficulty with the speed - then decided to turn the refresh rate of my monitor down from 144Hz to 60Hz - helped a lot ;-)
Aside from that - this is a neat little genre mash up
Great little game, very enjoyable and fun. The only problem I have with it is that it's unclear what different towers do, so first couple of games have more trial and error, than tactics.
I love this! Two of the best genres :smile: The pacing is awkward and I was a bit confused as to why I would sometimes get a bunch of turrets. In any case I would love to play this on my phone.
A great game! Loved it, played it twice. Got myself a perfect setup on my second try, everything's just being annihilated at the first two segments of the road. Went to wave 60 and stopped there. That being said, the game may need some kind of a difficulty curve or a better balance. Great job on the theme!
Great game, I do believe that you used the theme very well. The only issue I believe it giving proper feedback, in other words it was hard for me to tell when enemies would spawn or if the were getting hit.
Fantastic use of the theme, tho it lacked a little bit with sound and graphics. But for me the gameplay is still the most important.
Really cool game! The idea is very interesting and it works well. Graphics however make the board quite difficult to read. Mixing tiles with white and black borders is not great on the eyes ;)
Good job on making the game!
Um. I kept clicking around the tiles in the left part of the window, and nothing happened. I died completely ignorant of how to construct towers. Perhaps you could include an explanation of the interface somewhere? Anywhere?
...As I was about to post this I went back to the game for one more attempt, and I managed somehow to gain a tower. I don't even know how or why and I can't reproduce it. This is really irritating.
This was a great game! I love tower defense games so I started focusing on that then I realized that I had to really aggressively play the match 3 game on the side at the beginning to load up on towers. My only complaint is I cant remove the weaker towers when I have already placed them and when I would click to place a tower in an invalid spot I had to go back to the menu to pick it up again. Great game though! It would be fun to play more levels!

Nice idea
