Nicely done, A bit hard at the start but then I was too strong :P

pedromgdo 2019-10-06 23:26

Really enjoyed this one, eggcellent.

Nicely balanced. Cute graphics. Good job!

Really good. Really liked the sound effect for shooting. You didn't have any music but the shoot effect seemed to oh most turn into a nice beat for the game. My only complaint is that I would have liked for there to be a pause between waves as it felt a little like once I started losing I quickly started heading downhill.

I have never played a tower defense game where you can move towers. Really good idea and still well balanced.

becher 2019-10-06 23:53

It's easy when you understand how you move your birds X). Nice art and concept good work

Nice game. Was this by chance inspired by TowerBag from the GMTK jam?

Really like having a more active tower defense and it's quite a charming game, just enough dialogue to understand.

Only real issue is not having some kind of break, or at least I didn't reach one. Not having a wave system meant I was basically always overwhelmed by my performance at the start of the game when I was still figuring it all out.

Would also be nice if there was a little more leniency to play strategically. I decided to tank a few hits earlier on to save up for the second tier bird but that basically screwed me the entire game, though again a round/wave system might help there.

@brandon-js-lea Thanks for the great feedback. I've never heard of that game (TowerBag), I'll have to check it out!

A cute and simple tower defense game! I really liked how each bird had it's own intro animation as they set themselves around the path. It started off pretty tough but by the end I was spamming so many birds it was hilarious! Really nice art as well, I really enjoyed the egg running animations!

It seems I can't get past the initial "Help" message dialog. Please let me know if you'd like error logs or system specs.

@geoff-nagy Hey, what browser & operating system? You're clicking the button and nothing happens? Thanks.

Overall very fun take on a Tower Defense game. I don't have a lot of criticism about the game as a whole, beyond maybe letting you upgrade individual towers, plus it seemed a little bit easy. Good work!

bry 2019-10-07 02:48

@geoff-nagy I added support for devices that don't support WebGL, which I think might fix your problem if you're interested in trying again!

xacur 2019-10-07 02:49

This was very well done. Birds and eggs, natural enemies!

lanalux 2019-10-07 03:16

So fun to play! I'm determined to beat it. >_<

bry 2019-10-07 03:21

@lanalux Thanks, I enjoyed watching you play on your stream!

6smith 2019-10-07 03:45

Awesome, very solid tower defense

igoreshka 2019-10-07 03:56

Nice birds, good sounds, wonderfull balance. Thank you for game ;D

bagenzo 2019-10-07 04:08

A good TD focused on being proactive instead of just sitting back and letting the towers do the work. Also, the birds are super cute. Great game!

ruby-interactive-games 2019-10-07 04:11

Loved playing it! Played through the entire thing :D

geoff-nagy 2019-10-07 04:19

@bry: Never mind! It seems to be working now. Thanks.

gold5games 2019-10-07 04:59

I love this. I had to stop playing so I could try other games, but a nice spin on the tower defense formula. Streamlined gameplay, but still plenty of depth. One of my favorites so far.

geoff-nagy 2019-10-07 05:20

This came across as really polished! The feedback from the first bird ("move me!") instantly told you how the game worked. I played several times to see how far I could get. Very easy to understand, and also additive!

bry 2019-10-07 05:27

@geoff-nagy Thanks for coming back to play it! Glad you enjoyed.

hcursino 2019-10-07 07:16

Fun game. In the beginning I was so desperate I thought it would be a hard challenge, but as I brought more and more birds those eggs didn't stand a chance. I would like to see more of this if you ever feel like pushing the game forward.

rolly 2019-10-07 10:51

I did it!

It was a very fun game, classic but well executed. I didn't realize at first that I could move birds (yeah it's written but I didn't read till the end, I'm such a lambda-user...).

It could use some more balancing (the white bird is so powerful that the last five waves are just "sit and watch").

Visuals and sound effects are sober and efficient! I had a great time, thank you!

marcin-j 2019-10-07 11:52

I really enjoyed the game, I did a few playthroughs. Cute simple graphics and clear mechanics. Fun TD game overall.

Oh, Pixi.js! Me too

kromeboy 2019-10-07 12:00

Solid entry and nice take on the theme with a classic gameplay.

It become a little to easy once you unlock the "slowing" bird

ekaterina 2019-10-07 13:44

Unusual setting for tower defense)) Pretty sweet happened!

joshuarabbit 2019-10-07 13:47

This game is fun and I enjoy it. The penguin and the frog is so useful and good. I also love the cute pixel arts.

tasakasama 2019-10-07 14:46

Very nice execution, graphically nothing wrong and everything works well. By cons I do not see too much interpretation of the theme ... WellDone !

petturtle 2019-10-07 16:45

Very fun game, beat the entire thing!

kazatan 2019-10-07 17:12

Works really nicely. I think the blue slow down birds are a little overpowered - in that they make everything else so much better. A balance issue like that is not something to worry about in a 48h game jam though! The graphics and SFX were great. Would have been lovely to get some music to go with it! Good work :thumbsup:

starvingindie 2019-10-07 21:44

Nice little tower defense game. Well done! It was challenging in the beginning and then I thought I was getting the hang of it, but then it got difficult again. Fun game!

philarmon 2019-10-08 00:14

Hehe, birds against eggs - thats a new word in the tower defence games :) Lovely implementation but the game is pretty tough :) Stiil, a very good entry

kunonooni 2019-10-08 03:01

That was a lot of fun to play! Very nicely done pixel art and retro sounds. Congrats on completing the Compo!

tricky-fat-cat 2019-10-08 07:08

A very nice tower defence with unconvential tower mechanics, well done, I really like it.

douglas-asted 2019-10-08 07:17

I liked it a lot more than I thought i would.

adamk33n3r 2019-10-08 07:38

Nicely done. Really cool ideas and fun gameplay.

adamcyounis 2019-10-08 09:58

I had a lot of fun with this game. Simple and effective. The birds had distinct uses and my choices definitely made the difference between winning and losing. The game got a bit easy once I worked out where to put the white birds, which felt a little OP. Great game, you should be proud of how solid it is!

monish-vyas 2019-10-08 12:59

Going through the comments and saw many people saying "well balanced" I was surprised, then I realized, I can move birds. After that I beat the shit out of those eggs. Very well made fun game

loveapplegames 2019-10-18 23:14

A great tower defense game for 48h. I like the drag and drop idea. Good fun trying to optimize the strategy.
