Great visuals, enjoyable strategy game. It would be nice if there was more of a tie-in to the theme. Maybe you have options to upgrade tiles that are under your control, or once you lose a tile, it's gone for good. Still, really fun!

Really Fun, could spend hours playing.

kpded 2018-08-13 09:28

@dxk2294 thanks a lot! Those visuals took a bloody ton of time)

Yeah, the theme, I understand your point. Well, the idea was that as zombies are spoiling a space to raise crops player runs out of it... and this is running out of space. Unfortunately, the final balance of the game eliminates resource constrain, i.e. the player almost always has enough money and place to grow grains. And the key player's aim is not to miss any line where zombies can run into the town. So the theme is formally in place but not that highlighted in gameplay

@wizard wow, this is a best feedback ever) Thank you so much. Just do it man, play

I liked it, fun and simple to understand but soon the zombies overwhelmed me (i guess im not a good player). The keys 1-4 didn't worked to me (using Firefox) but it didn't degrade the game experience.

It's a nice lane defense game, I would want it to become a bit harder over time because it was easy to win on my first try. Second time through the first 2 lanes never spawned any zombies, so that might be a bug?

kpded 2018-08-13 10:28

@derek-volker thank you! I'm on my way to investigate that bug with keys

coffeeowl 2018-08-13 10:35

The game is great. Maybe a little bit too easy if you catch the point of it or find the ultimate tactik :smile:

kpded 2018-08-13 10:55

@coffeeowl thanks, yeah there is a dominant strategy there) This is a gameplay balance failure, I've spent too much on visuals and not enough on balancing the gameplay

Bullet points really fast: - Nice Graphics - Nice Audio - Fun Gameplay

I really like it, great job.

kpded 2018-08-14 17:12

@barrier thank you for feedback! I think I'll tweak the zombies stats and AI a little bit. As for two lines, yeah, it's possible since AI puts zombies randomly, although two adjacent clear lines definitely give advantage to the player. So I think I'll fix that

Nice graphics and the audio goes well with it!

kpded 2018-08-14 19:56

@justin-largo thanks a lot!

Nice idea for game, something like Plants vs zombies, there are pretty graphics too, I liked it, you could expand game and sell it.

kpded 2018-08-14 20:24

@skyrex thank you!

Yeah, plants vs zombies... I know. Interestingly, that I understood that at Sunday's evening, that I'm making plants with legs vs. zombies :smile:

jin9310 2018-08-15 09:57

cool Idea and that is pretty nice handled. Good job! ;)

Nice vector art animations! I wouldn't call it a balance failure, since it is fixable. I liked the mechanic where the archer could shoot over the other dudes.

mcarrera 2018-08-15 13:13

Cool graphics, looks done and pretty. Good Job!

hugimugi7 2018-08-15 16:35

Pretty nice little game, Reminds me of Plants vs Zombies! :slight_smile: Of course needs more _depth_.

flaterectomy 2018-08-17 17:03

A strong concept, but perhaps a little too easy. I won my first attempt, in any case. Once I Could afford the knight with an archer or two behind him no zombies got past anything.

Graphics, music and sound effects are decent. For the graphics, if you're looking to improve, I'd advise looking into what makes a good colour scheme and a walking animation tutorial or two. That's probably the best way to make a big leap visually.

All in all an enjoyable entry!

Thank you for sharing your game with me. I played it on my stream tonight at https://www.twitch.tv/saoigames

I have rated your game, but all of my feedback was captured in the stream. It was close to the beginning.
