10/10 theme

lol the theme of this game is very funny, a way of making the game relevant to the current time without it being super depressing. I did find that I wasn't getting enough money back from taking down people to buy any new towers though? Perhaps I was doing something wrong...?

I tried the cheap units and they were too slow, but the expensive units were too expensive, when they died I couldn't replace them.

@anuradha @rhys-sewell played several rounds of the game. Fun. kept running out of money. the more expensive characters died out easily. may i suggest that you tweak the balance a little bit?

@tigercoder11 Thanks a lot!

@joeshanahan @pillitoka thanks for playing :) The game was a bit more ambitious than we had initially thought, so unfortunately the balance is quite off. It started off too easy but then we made it too hard lol, definitely something to take into account for the future!

This game has a great message to tell! I totally respect that and I had a great time playing as well! A great entry for the Game Jam!

Nice art, fun theme, neat twist on the tower defence genre, a bit unbalanced

really hard... i don't know how much the tower/worker cost or how much damage they dealt. only manage to wave 6 :(

anuradha 2020-05-02 11:26

@royur the cost of the tower is on the right hand side, under the buttons. We definitely should have included a menu showing the tower stats though, thanks for the feedback :smiley:

As others have pointed out this could do with some balancing in he post jam version.

I like that the hoards come from all possible directions, insteade of lining up nicely in classic tower defence fasion.

Quite fun, and good concept but needs balancing. Great concept for a weekend jam, well done!

I played the game online and realized that the UI was not right on my screen, it seems that some elements and part of the health bar are cut off. Nonetheless, I liked the message the game tell without being too heavy. Good work!

Good work...

anuradha 2020-05-12 20:10

@danilo-bezerra Thanks for your feedback! Not too sure why the UI doesn't scale correctly when in the browser, but if you make it full screen it should scale just fine :smile:

Very actual game! I don't prefer tower defence genre in general but I think it’s very suitable for this theme. Good work!
