Currently the best game I've played in the jam, great aesthetics and challenging levels.
Just a heads-up that there is no link on your itch.io page back to here so it was a little extra effort to come and rate it.

Good take on incorporating the sacrifice theme into a tower defence. I've never played a tower defence that relies on gravity like that, good idea.
Very lovely game, the overcharge suicide is unique and a really cool mechanic!
GREAT work!! Super innovative mechanic, very fun to play, and really simple to figure out! It's kind of like Pachinko meets a tower defense. Very difficult, but also very rewarding when you figure out the "solution" for a level. I bet this would port well to mobile, too... :wink:
I had a lot of fun playing this game ! The mechanic is well found out, and pushed forward with the different kind of turrets, to the point where you are able to design strategies based on the size and number of the enemies incoming. The graphics are simple, and works very well with the game. Still, I think a few touches are missing, such as a background, perhaps SFXs on the lasers ...
Overall, I had a blast, losing was not frustrating as I was learning the spawn pattern of each level, figuring out a strategy.
Awesome work !
Great game, really liked the concepts and the graphics. Felt a little too passive at times though.
Im surprised at how polished this felt and how well this played. Looks great, sounds great... its great!
Amazing game. Quality design and fun to play! A deep difficulty curve, but its to be expected. Really enjoyed watching your video on the creation process as well :smile:
This game have been the most fun to play of the ones I have tested. The gameplay makes it fun to play and big bonus for nice graphics and sound. Great job!
I like this game very much - I think its well designed. Graphics and gameplay are fitting together so well and it isn't too dificult and not too easy at the same time :D I really like the different turret versions and that you have to get your own strategy working. Very good job with this one, I had a lot of fun ^-^
Well-made and very polished game, great work!
I liked how you introduced one new turret type per level and kept the mechanics pretty straightforward. Valid strategies seem to emerge organically from the unpredictability of the enemy physics and you did a great job balancing that.
The whole mood of the game is excellent. It all feels like a real-time puzzle, which is very cool. I especially love the final level, it just creates this wonderful sense of dread as the floor starts disappearing. You captured a wonderful sense of balance for the whole game. The art and sounds are simple, but work very well together to create something that feels very polished. Great work!
My god I loved this game. The last two levels were the best, and had me thinking for ages. In the end, I had to strategise for each of the phases of the last level, with the floor eventually being removed. That was such a blast, the audio-visual experience was simply perfect. Beautifully balanced and executed. Would probably like to know how much time is left til the tower is destroyed, but not completely necessary. This game is simply incredible, and I don't know how better to explain it.
Excellent entry, great way to incorporate the theme into an established genre to create something that feels quite different. The whole thing is nicely polished, introducing new elements with each level. I'd like to see this developed further.
One of the best games on this Ludum Dare. Looks very strong, balaced and addictive, and caught me until victory! I need more levels! :) Good job & Good luck!
Amazing! Keep the good work fellows!
Wow i was little bit afraid of tower defence without well building anythink, but you do it very clean, nice and dammid i enjoy it a lot
A really polished game with balanced game play and difficulty. I enjoyed the variety of the towers and levels. Matched the theme as well. Good job!
Well done! The mechanics are fairly simple but also very entertaining and well polished. You also put a lot of effort into graphics and audio which is very nice. It was pretty difficult even from the start but it was a good challenge!
Looks gorgeous! Love the neon art style and game mechanics, good job guys!
Neat idea. The graphics are very nice! You have a good balance of effects. It looks cool without being overly distracting.
The concept behind the game is easily one of the most unique interpretations of the theme I have seen this Ludum Dare! Great job!
