It's a pretty basic tower defense game and it's pretty nice. I like the graphics and music. Later in the game you get pretty op and run out of place though. Also WTF

Fun game, but it took me some time to figure everything out.

Thanks for playing our game!

@Gargantus Apparently I forgot to turn off a variable and it was continuously spawning the boss. I've fixed it on my end and will probably upload a less buggy version later on.

:heart_eyes: adorable tower defense.. love the art and music. but i found that when you in game over screen then you press the 'tittle' button and then 'start', it force me back to game over screen again.. hope you fix this little issue. overall good job on making this :thumbsup:

I like the variety of things drawn. Music is nice and suitable. I understood what's going on only after 3 times trying.This is a common problem for many participants. After the defeat, I couldn't start the game again. It ended on its own. But You've done a great job. Thanks for the fun! :3

I am such a fan of tower defense games and this one got my interest a lot! The graphics are awesome and the concept is really nice too! Woild be great to introduce even more enemies.

It is a nice tower defense game ! And it respects well the theme !

However, the WTF moment when the TNT arrived, it is a forced Game Over ?

Apart from that, it was fun to play it, and to grow the defense, so in overall, good job !

Good, but it's hard to get some materials which drop on the edge of game window:(

thecritterscove 2020-04-25 00:18

Thanks to everyone who has commented so far! Will take note on the issues and hopefully fix them when I get a chance. I really appreciate the feedback, both the good and bad. :)

Also I will be playing the game of everyone who comments. Just may take me a couple days.

I didn't understand how to make more beehives. I felt like I got completely overrun before I had a chance to do anything about it. The game looks lovely though.

thecritterscove 2020-04-26 00:31

@epiphanyg Sorry for the confusion. I usually allow some time for a tutorial or instruction page, but it didn't pan out this jam. There is basic tower info in the pause menu(esc). Requirements are also under the correlating buttons.

Beehives should requite 4 sticks, 2 berries, and 1 unoccupied fairy. The materials at the start should allow you to build 2 fairy huts and a bush. The bush will produce sticks and berries.

Thanks for the info @thecritterscove! We managed to get further this time. How do we deal with the bomb dude though? It felt like no bees were attacking it.

thecritterscove 2020-04-28 02:46

@epiphanyg Thanks again for playing! That was an unfortunate targeting bug I missed. The boss can be defeated with the briar bushes. If anyone is playing v2, the bees targeting the boss has been fixed.

that was fun! It took me a minute to get what I needed to make to be able to make other things, but the flashbacks from starcraft started kicking in and I got it going! :)

Interesting game! I played a few times but couldn't beat that boss. At first the game was hard to understand and didn't feel very intuitive, but once I got the gist of it, the game was quite fun! Good job

This is my favorite LD46 game I've tried so far. I have spent the last hour and a half trying to beat it and I've been close a couple times. I love the mood , graphics and just the feel of the game. Excellent work !

thecritterscove 2020-05-09 00:49

Super late, but thanks @belowzerogames ! I'm really flattered you like the game that much. Will check out your game soon.

belowzerogames 2020-05-09 02:57

I finally beat your game tonight :D took me quite a few tries

shevek 2020-05-09 09:24

simpatic, but I think increasing the speed of the game would have been nice.

kantal 2020-05-09 09:30

Looks very good and it's fun.
