This amazing I loved every second of it. Art is nice and clean, music is catchy and humor is on point. Great job!

Lots of fun with the highlight being how the car handles! Drifting into conspiracy nutjobs has rarely been this satisfying!

This is awesome! Probably the most fun of the games I've tested so far.

Works well. Nice little game!

Really great! The only improvement I could think of was to use unity's axis input system so you could use WASD or controller as well as arrow keys

Really enjoyable, the upgrade shed could be telegraphed a bit better though

Really good game, very fun to play and the art is very nice. I think the controlling is quite hard to grasp but is manageable. Also I kept wishing that the Arsonists would run slower so I could actually hit them (however sick that sounds). Still a fun game that I enjoyed a lot and a good entry to the Jam!

Good job, signal is good from down here!

Fun game, I really liked the concept, it was original !

A little note on the sound design, I think that it misses some feedback when enemies attack the tower, it will help to notice when the tower is attacked without checking all the time the life bar of the tower. And it will add some more on the ambiance also.

Overall good job !

Very nicely done, I enjoyed the driving mechanics although some of the upgrades made the handling feel worse. I think I add nitro and gripy wheels.

This game is great. I love the incentive to move away from the tower to collect coins so that you can't just camp the tower. Most of the arsonists would get stuck on trees and buildings when running away so maybe some simple object avoidance would help but apart from that great game.

Damn those arsonists got legs. This feels a bit imbalanced which was frustrating as I wanted to play it more but it's super hard! I wish the arsonist bastards would run away without getting stuck on stuff then just coming straight back. Maybe they could flee after a few times scaring them but then coins could disappear after some time so you can camp the tower a bit but it's better to venture out. I love this concept tho. it would be cool to be able to drive to new locations in some semi-open map and stop at places for upgrades/story. I mean I know this is about 5G but the idea of a driving defense game seems legit!

I really love where you took the theme and graphics and music was really nice. I ended up just circling tightly around the tower and it seemed like quite a good strategy though it kind of took away the fun in the interaction. If there was a strong benefit in leaving the tower, e.g. to buy repairs (how do you get paid?), then it would probably feel more dynamic game-wise.

This is hilarious, I was laughing nearly every second of my time with it. It's a fun game too! Nice job.

This one is great :D Love the idea! Nice gfx and sound also, very addictive, but man those guys are fasttt

The theme is cohesive and funny. I think the mechanics are fun and easy to understand early on which is so important. I love the way that the characters run away when they are nearby. But I do find it a little difficult to maneuver the vehicle in time to move everyone away from the tower. Perhaps if it moved faster or something. Great job nonetheless!

Hilarious idea behind this one! Everything came together really well and I had a lot of fun. Controls are really tight.

But what about the conspiracies about 5g towers? It's Bill Gates' fault, right?

2022-05-23 13:45

I have never used 5G, but I have always enjoyed watching some conspiracies, it is really very interesting. Not so long ago I even made a TV theater in my suburban house, because I like to watch such things from youtube on the big screen. But then I decided that it was necessary to put [Starter Kit](https://ajax.systems/products/starterkit/), because I was afraid that his large and expensive TV set would not be taken out of the house. By the way, this system is the most reliable, I assure you!
