Hey, good work! The idea is very fitting to the theme, and the art is appealing!

My only comment is regarding the controls (maybe because i am using keyboard), it isnt very clear what is the object you are interacting with.

Gettinng out of the game in between (for restart purposes) didn't work for me. And the walking around wouldn't be necessary in a tower defense game I guess? Otherwise: Well done indeed :)

Could you please add a macOS or webGL version, I have macOS and I want to play your game, your idea seems cool

avoca-do 2019-04-30 14:25 ♥ 1

the problems i find with it is that there is limited towers to put, didnt actually get what i pay for the tower, and there is no actual reason to buy lower tier tower because you can but the strongest from start. then even with all 4 towers i didnt actually cleared all the monster they just seem strong enough. maybe iam missing something?

anyway pretty good and solid :D

The fire rate stat is confusing (is a higher number faster or slower?), and the towers overall feel really underpowered and sluggish.

There was so much information on the screen during the levels so it took a while to really be able to fully enjoy the game especially because the waves of enemies started coming so quickly when you started a level (maybe there could have been a button to start the waves).

Overall it was pretty enjoyable after you got the gist of it all!

Thanks for the feedback. @miroreflect @spotted-metal you are right UI is confusing, I would have to change that. I didn't have time for animations etc to make the towers look clear enough. Or throw projectiles clearly

@tiffi For the controls I wanted to go for the pixeljunk monsters style of tower defense that's why there's a character walking around. Also The enemies are supposed to drop teeth when they are destroyed and you pick them up.

@bartman you can now play the Web version on itch.io

Again thanks for playing the feedback

I'm with the previous comments the UI is a little confusing and controls using keyboard too. But I liked your idea, good work. =)

As defense tower game is good, there are some features to polish like sometimes not starting the waves and maybe the higher tower not working (maybe is only for 1 kind of mobs) Good Job overall!

Nice tower defence idea. Confusing to use both keyboard and mouse. A bit difficult to me :) But, overall a nice submission. Soundtrack was very good.

Cool tower defense game! It was confusing to play tho

bar 2019-05-10 22:20 ♥ 1

I have to agree with the others about the confusing UI. The game looks very nice.

As everyon said, it's a bit confusing to play. Yet it's a full game and it fits the theme in an original way. Great job!

@webox @bar @attala @doubleblackstudios Thanks for playing

I have updated the User Interface and fixed a few bugs

Oh yes, tower defense! Nice! I loved the artwork but as someone with problematic teeth, I felt extremely uncomfortably :D

xlambein 2019-05-12 08:04 ♥ 0

Nice game! I just wish there was a bit more to do while the wave is happening, once you've finished building your towers.

joni-jarvinen 2019-05-13 17:15 ♥ 0

Very nice art style and nice use of theme. Gameplay was a little confusing, though, and there was a lack of feedback when the towers damaged the enemies. Good to see a tower defense game.
