Overall solid game. Might need some rebalancing but I had fun

Difficult, but rewarding. Really nice entry! I made it to level 10 on my first try and 17 on my second. Would have been cool to upgrade your gun's rate of fire too.

Nice entry here! had fun playing it in stream, the gameplay is fresh and quite fun, artstyle has a lot of personality, maybe it needs a bit of tweaking on the deployables like traps and gun, also some color tweaks to make stuff stand out more, good job anyway!

Very cool. The drawings were fantastic, especially the background animations. Game mechanics were intuitive and explained really well.

Props for having a unique setting!

Great game!! I agree that the balancing of it is a little off, but this is a nice twist on tower defense. I had a lot of fun here. Excellent work!!

I spent way to long playing this game, and I loved it!

I think the collision boxes on the axe robots could be a little more forgiving though, it was kinda hard to hit them from above once they reached the tree.

Super chill game in the begining rounds of easy mode, would love to see a more!

Very good game

I reached the level 17, really nice What you can improve: * rework regen item * show how much damage traps made * show the range of the traps attack

Very fun! Spent a bit of time on this.. good balance, and a nice take on fortress defense. The upgrade ideas were great. I loved the background graphics.. with the steam/smog from the cities.. and that cute little zepplin in the top right of the screen, very nicely done!

Nice! I managed to get to day 15 on easy mode. I liked how the city in the background expands as time progresses. You had a good variety of enemies and defenses. I think it might be interesting to add some kind of asymmetry to the playing field. I ended up just trying to set up the same defenses on the left as on the right.

It is sticky, even on the easy level on day 15, already having difficulty. There is a variety. Good game.

This game was really good! I made it all the way to day 22 on easy mode. The only real issue that I found rather frustrating would be when I was positioning something on the ground, and then it would accidentally press the continue button with the confirmation input, leaving a lot of unused currency and a weaker defense. Perhaps you could move the continue button to an upper corner, where there is nothing to be placed. Other than that, great work!

I appreciate that even when I set it on easy mode, it still gets very hard to complete a day as I progress. I love how there's different variations in enemies!

Not sure how to critique. Great Game all around. Thanks for making this one.

Great game, the art looks good and the background tune is nice. I couldn't get the red "regen" to work (did you forget to translate it to "rain"?). It seems like it would be a consumable that the player can activate during the battle, but I can't purchase it.

akros 2019-05-03 14:21

@mika-la-grand That actually sounds like a cool idea, but the regen just regenerates your life and heals the your woonds, so it doesn't work if you have full health. But I like the rain idea :D

kimily 2019-05-04 20:57

I enjoy how clearly design-wise the enemies were! It was never confusing which ones were the enemies and what was the background. The "Regen" item was very misleading! I suggest renaming it to "Heal" instead.
