Hey, very impressive that you completed a proper TD in a solo weekend!
Not sure how this games work. I couldnt place the turret and when i tried to click randomly some thunder came and stopped the game and i could not proceed.
It doesn't load for me as well. In the browser console it says `uncaught exception: abort(101). Build with -s ASSERTIONS=1 for more info.`.
@happysnake @holyblackcat I have added a release executable for windows, maybe that will help ! @appoxgames You don't start the game with money for a tower, to fit with the theme. After the thunder kills the first wave though, you can build a tower @congusbongus Thank you very much ! It was very hard to do in the time, so there's a few issues I missed, especially in the third level.
shared (@shared) Oh, i see. But how do you continue the game after the thunder hits?
@appoxgames You just have to advance the dialogue, did it now show up for some reason ? I have never seen that happen during testing
The game was pretty good. One bug o found was that i had selected a tower and then the lightning thing happened and i could not press next on the text box. Some sort of feedback from the game such as basic audio when clicking or highlighted buttons when hovering over it would have added a lot and made it feel a lot smoother to play.
It is an interesting idea and the art looks very comfortable. It even has different themes! It might be good if the first wave can be skipped when retrying the game, since we already know what will happen. (It surprised me in my first game though :D)
@shared The executable works! @appoxgames Simply click the `>>` button on the dialogue?
@holyblackcat @shared Yeah it worked now :D
Web version worked fine for me. Oh man, I love tower defenses, made one too! It took me a while to figure out how to place tower efficiently, I almost gave up after 3 failed tries. But then I looked at your screenshots, and understood how it works. Slimes animation is very cute. Black slimes a bit too slow to kill maybe? "Funds did not arrive" made me chuckle :D Completed all 3 levels, was enjoyable!
@svarttand You can right click to unselect the tower, you aren't supposed to be able to select a tower you can't buy, and I noticed that bug, but I kinda forgot to fix it when i ran short of time, which is a bit of a shame because that's a pretty easy fix. I also wish i had more time for sound design, but the last hours were a real rush to get the 3 levels out.
@chaosinism Thanks a lot ! And damn I agree, skipping the first wave should have been a thing, I saw those first waves a lot during testing lmao.
Works great for me! Great game, qutie challening, had to restart most maps a few times to get the perfect combination of towers. I did notice a few bugs on the last stage tho - you can place towers on the road - web sprites will be spawned below the road sprite - waves end before all enemies are killed
@laegoose I'm very happy you liked it ! Thanks for playing.
@spthiel Thanks for the feedback, but yeah, I ran out on time near the 3rd stage, so it has quite a few annoying bugs. I plan on correcting a few, but I'm kinda clueless about why the waves end early on that level, it doesn't happen every time even, this will take quite a bit of investigation. Thanks again for the compliments !
Despite the simple graphics, the game felt very solid. The gameplay is good! The only thing I missed is an indication in which direction/how far a tower shoots *before* placing it.
I also found some minor bugs, like bullets colliding with each other and being able to place towers on top of each other.
I believe bullets colliding is an intended behavior, if it isn't: I absolutely love it
@holyblackcat This could be a pretty good addition, didn't really have the time to add that sadly. Thanks for the feedback though, I'm happy you like my game !
@spthiel It is somewhat intended, as I made bullets physical objects
It looks well. But I put the web under the shop button so I can't open it :B Nice work!
@w0lfenstein I'm glad you like it ! And a friend got that bug too, I'll fix it if I do another bugfixing round, thanks for telling me.
Great job, I was so confused at the beginning why I couldn't place anything, then a lucky event took place :)
@clemonades I hope you liked the surprise ! Thanks for the comment
Loved the beginning. Well made TD game, wish you showed tower range thought, I misplaced many towers not knowing how long of a range they were.
@cooperjknapp Glad you enjoyed it ! And yeah, tower range is a pretty important thing to show, especially since you can't sell towers, but sadly I kinda ran out of time
That was cute, I made it to the third map before moving on. The cannon towers not firing directly at the enemies at first was frustrating, but that was probably due to lack of knowledge. I was like... why are my towers missing their shots ?!.
Props for making so many levels too, nice work!
Good job on this entry :smile: :thumbsup_tone1: I might do a TD game next time ... if I get a theme that fits :wink: Lightning scared the crap out of me... had the surround up quite high because I was listening to music :rofl: .... don't do that :rofl:
:purple_heart: :dart: :frog:
@diaonic I appreciate the feedback and kind words ! As to the towers, all cannons are synchronized, and they shoot on sight, so if you're not next to the road and firing perpendicularly you might miss the blue slimes.
@purpledartfrog Thanks you very much ! And I'll be honest, I scared myself quite a few times with the lightning during testing, as I wouldn't really watch the screen during the first phase
:rofl:
Very good tower defense game! I love the art and it seems very polished as everything works well! I only wish the turrets didn't block projectiles from other turrets! Nice submission! You should expand this after the jam since it is so good!
Nice entry. I've been long interested in a TD game but I usually don't think of it when it comes time lol. The sound effects were nice and the visuals were appealing. Thanks for making it!
P.S. The beginning was a little too long I think. I thought I was doing something wrong or that it was broken. The idea was really cool, starting with nothing and getting money from a lightning strike. But maybe speed the enemies up or something.
@twinturbodouche Thank you very much, I appreciate the compliment a lot. And btw, it took quite a decent bit of effort not to have towers shoot through eachother, mainly for balance
@adamk33n3r Thanks ! I'm happy you like it. Although yeah, I could have made the beginning faster, but having it be like that was better for the surprise I think. However, this kinda sucks if you have to restart the first level, and I had to do that quite a bit in testing, to make sure the balance was decent enough
Good work there mate, glad you joined us for this year's ludum dare
Just finished the game, it was fun /o/ My first try was a bit pathetic since I didn't expect the base tower to behave that way, but I started again and crushed all those slimes :D Funny narrator as well, and I like a lot how the field gets all messy at the end of each stage, especially the third one ^^' (Although I was frustrated to not know the effect of the upgrades ^^')
@nachtwitch Thank you !
@grhyll I'm very happy you liked it, thank you very much. The narrator was fun to make, and I know it would be nice to see the effects of the upgrades, but time really went short
Not lots of games, especially for a gamejam, can really have fun with their humor and graphics, but yours certainly did. Great job!
I really enjoyed this game!!! Definitely one of my favorites so far.
We also created an entry for the jam in case you wanna check :)

Salut ! Super jeu, simple mais efficace ! Bravo pour les graphismes, j'aime beaucoup ;)
