* amazing what 4 people can do in 72 hours * found a bug were I can still give towers crystals even if I have 0 * the toggle between plant and combat was troublesome... kept switching to plant mode when I wanted to be attacking.

Really cool game congrats :D

This was really fun and controlled nicely! The lowpoly looked good. Great work!

Kukuku, much fun! Props for music as well. Kudos

Great game with cool art, animations, and music. Really well done.

First off, I got a chuckle out of the credits page. Very cute portraits!

Overall, I think the game was really good! I'm really impressed with how fleshed out this game feels. I believe your base game is solid enough that if you guys wanted to, you could build out this game into something really cool and detailed. Awesome job!

Love the graphics, the music and the mood of the game! As mentioned I was also able to give towers crystals even when I had 0 crystals left.

@adroitcocneptions and @anacat, its a bug we are aware of, we hope to fix it today, along with a few tunning. Thank you for the feedback!

It's really too bad that there is no way to change the controls, as some non-english keyboards are not QWERTY so playing it would have been really weird if I wasn't aware of how to change it. But the graphics are pro, and the concept while not extraordinarily original is quite fun to play. Good job!

really fun game, combat feels solid and lots of really nice mechanics. fits the theme nicely and in a unique way. Art style is really nice and even the menus suit the game nicely

@moxinilian all I can suggest is trying a game controller if you can. We sadly did not have the time to implement a different keyboard layout than our own. both Xbox and PS4 controllers should work, or similar.

Ah, man, Marco, you guys really killed this! The combat feels so good and I'm blown away by how much visual polish this has.

Aw man, I ran out of space. Shucks. Great game. Quite impressed with what you were able to put together in the short time.

I love this style of gameplay, incredible quality for so little development time, congratulations!

Nice! I'm impressed with making that much 3d content in a weekend. Audio is good too. I don't really understand why I died (maybe I should have read the instructions :)) but I planted a bunch of crystals and got 53 kills.

Man, this feels like a game that I would have played in my childhood. And probably lost at a lot. Great job with the level of polish on this!!

marcovalekaz 2018-08-18 23:51

@tom7 If there is one thing I'd like to update on the game, would be have ingame indicators to help the player understand what's happening. Sadly, time was against us :)

i was not sure what was going on but the game was pretty fun - thanks for making it

noah-j 2018-08-23 16:20

Super fun game ! really loved the aesthetic too, respect !

joror 2018-08-25 19:57

Fun lil game! I like the graphics, got a nice cohesive look. The command for switching mode was a bit confusing at first, a double tap of K for planting would have been easier.
