This was out first "finished" game for LD. It's far from perfect, but we enjoyed the contest and are looking forward to the next one. The plans we made we big and time was short, there are some aspects of the game I am really proud of (even if it may not look like it). Thank you for reading, playing and we welcome any and all constructive criticism.
First proper tower defense game i've seen! I really like the style, reminded me instantly of Bloons! I did not know that you needed to click on the button in the upper right hand corner to collect money until the third go and was thinking it was really mean that we couldnt defend the first wave lol! If you want to get more views so peeps can see what ya made, i suggest you rate and comment on others submissions! It affects where you show up on the "games" tab! :D
This is a good solid game that runs smoothly and looks reasonably good! Just like the comment above me I did not realise you had to click the right hand corner to collect the money earnt! So I struggled to begin. I think my main criticisms would be I'm not sure the music fits for me? And I found the game to be not much of a challenge, it was pretty easy to get throught the rounds. I think maybe if the weapons/guns weakened or broke after a certain amount of use then it would have been a little bit more challenging. All in all a really nice game made!
@louiejams Thank you for the feedback. Yes, we did have plans for the game to be much more user-friendly, unfortunately not the time :smile:. Hopefully will get back to it sometime in the future, it does need quite a lot of polish.
@ponypen Thank you very much. Performance was definitely in our minds while coding, as games like these can get very slow very fast. Music: we knew it isn't the best, so we spend some time giving player the option to mute it. Balance: I personally learned a great lesson about balancing a jam game. It's very difficult. You don't have enough time for all the mechanics and polish, so there no way you can spend time making your game properly balanced. We will definitely consider this more in our next games. Your feedback and kind words are greatly appreciated.
Very good generic tower defence game, it was very nice to play it. It's very easy though, last ~50 waves I made with just two towers. It would be cool to add some health to enemies after each wave or just add more enemies to last waves. But overall it's a cool finished game. All menu items work properly. One more point: As I can see you cannot sell towers to replace them with more powerful ones so I reached 99 wave with just two first upgraded towers. Also game stucks on 99 wave and becomes endless :) P.S. Changing weapon modes is very cool idea, it deserves some points to innovation rating
@mantarus Thank you very much. The difficulty definitely needs tweaking, what you said would be a great way to improve it. Buldozing towers was on the todo list, but we sadly didn't have enough time. We appreciate the feedback and the kind words.
good game! well balanced and liked the variety of incoming enemies. but it would be great if we could sell the towers and upgrade it to a better one. except that the gameplay was good and liked the SFX as well.
Very nice game, well done. The only problem is that its a bit 'generic' (as you might have realized :upside_down:). Some abilities like freezing or effect based damage or spikes or etc., would make the game more fun. But that might be beyond the scope of a jam game.
Very nice game! Found it ended up being a little too easy though.
Great game! The difficulty ramped up at a good pace; I found it easy at first, but it became more difficult as the game progressed. I also like how you can set a target for each tower(Strong, Weak, etc). I would be nice if you could sell towers. Overall, really good tower defense game!
