Nice game! Plays pretty well, though movement could certainly be tighter.

Great game! Movement could be a bit better, but it's fun.

Really interesting idea. Honestly, never seen this combination before, even though it seems so obvious to merge these together. I like the art, minimalistic, but pretty.

This is the game so far that engaged me most, very fun playing it, just a quick couple of notes: controls and movement could use a bit more work, you can get stuck on the end of ledges, also, but this is just a matter of personal preference i would have swapped jump and scroll, as for the balancing i find that the hitscan towers feels overpowered, overall great idea and nice execution, congratulations! :D

Pen Apple Pineapple Pen! The music kind of sounds like that. The game is really great. Should've added a lot more feel like Screen Shake and flashes and so. Great game

Pretty cool! Movement took a bit of getting used to, but the combination works pretty well!

Nice game! Got caught on edges of platforms a couple of times, but had a lot of fun playing!

I could have played forever, the game is really awesome! Sadly at wave 93 it started being completely unplayable because of 10million coins on the floor xD

@Junamai Oopsies, I only had about half the weekend free so play testing was down-prioritized, heh :smile:

For some reason, I spent like twenty minutes playing this, well into the territory where they died instantly to my souped up hitscan towers (level 61, 800 ups on some towers). Definitely could use a balance tweak, but really, this game is great fun! I'd love to see some handcrafted levels, more music/sfx diversity, and proper screen scaling: but make no mistake, it sucked me in and I really did enjoy it!

EDIT: To see my live thoughts, check out this recording of the livestream [here](https://www.twitch.tv/videos/253875862).

Played this for probably way too long. Had a few towers upgraded past 500, I guess you could say I won because nothing could kill my heart. Audio fatigue is my only real complaint, besides me not seeing a win screen haha. Good entry.

Very cool entry, had lots of fun playing this one :) I really like the art style, too. I found it a little too easy, though, and after a certain point I found myself sitting back and not doing very much while the towers just annihilated everything on the screen. Perhaps there could be something to keep the player more involved – for example, maybe towers could become damaged and the player has to rush over to fix them?

I really love the colour choices, and keeping the palette limited as you have is really effective. There's a few minor control issues I would say - up to switch towers made me want to hit down to go back through them! I was also hitting off the platform edges. But those aside, this game is a lot of fun, and quite addictive!

Good game. I liked those cute graphics. The music could've been better, but still good. I liked the idea.

I do not fully understand why I am playing this for so long... :smile: The game doesn't pose much of a challenge, but it keeps me playing nonetheless, and I am enjoying myself. I would've liked some more tactical decision-making, perhaps.

I love the art, it's very cute. The music is a little dopey but maybe too calm for the mayhem that ensues.

Overall nice work!

Really enjoyed this one... I was wondering if there is a level cap, or wave cap? But it was getting more and more laggy :) Great Entry :) is_there_a_cap.png

oivin-f 2018-05-01 16:15

@jin9310 Wave 115?? It was never tested this high! But yeah, since all the coins have physics it lags after a while... Performance wasn't really a priority given the short development time. Sadly it scales badly after wave 20-ish and losing becomes hard. I can also see some floating towers, not sure what causes that bug. Might release a balanced/fixed/juiced version when I get time. Cheers!

Omg it's so cute, the cat's little smile makes me soft bless. I love the polish on this; the small animations and the sound effects for jumping and shooting. One very small thing - it'd be great to press esc and have it pause/show the directions cause sometimes I forgot what to do and wanted to check without getting my heart hurt. Overall I had a really cute and soft experience, that_cat_is_my_aesthetic.jpg

@Oivin-f Yeah, well what can I say, I had a great time and kind a lost in time while playing :) About that floating towers, not sure if this can happen earlier in your game or only later (because once you have more coins on the screen it can gat laggy later on). If you want to replicate that bug, try this: 1 - build a tower 2 - get lots of coins 3 - staand by tower and hold X to upgrade her while new wave is coming. What happens is that enemies will sort of push you away while passing around you (but I'm sure you know that :-D) and if you are holding X while being pushed, it can build this floating tower (almost like you could build a tower on the top of another tower). Hope my description is bit clear :-D But once again I had really great time with your game ;) Great job
