Sweet little tower defense. I like the idea with the light flowers, but it needs a lot of tweaking for it to realy hook the player. For me i basically placed a few tower up front, focused on getting more light flowers and even tho i was at ~75 light/second and no new towers build since the start i got overrun after 500 kills - no chance to survive. Also i wasn´t quite sure what those insects were after, do they aim my towers?
Nice towerdefense, i did as usual and just put things everywhere, i was unsure what "moss needed" ment, but it was fun, TD's are always enjoyable!
Barely won my first round through. Learning curve was a little steep, and the difficulty curve was also a little steep--the enemies went from barely damaging my plants to totally overrunning them in a split second. I won because I got the reactor item, which meant I could place tons of lights in rooms very quickly, even though the bugs were chewing through my defenses.
I thought that this was fairly good, and I might keep playing it. I'm betting there's a surprising amount of depth in there.
Thinking on it more--I think you've chosen an interesting design space in the intersection between tower defense, roguelike, and exploration game. I'd encourage you to keep going!
@zykra Nice music. Entertaining tower defense. In my first game I didn't know I could scroll lol.
@zykra I won and couldn't click an object after hitting endless mode, don't know if that's a bug or a feature, just letting you know.
I like the world generation, but a tutorial or instructions screen would be helpful. Also a zoom feature so I can see everything a bit better. Always great to see a TD game though.
@thoastbot the insects do aim the towers, but i gave them low vision for performance reason (if they could see the whole map, i would have had to optimize the search).
@youthfulidealism I should have focused more on the balancing, the pace is way off. I ran out of time to do so, i should have reduced the scope of the game.
@hestrateja whops! I did not test that properly :)
I really like this randomly generated tower defense game.
In my opinion, the balancing could do with some work. Also, way too hard. I may have a bias against tower defense games in general, since I don't like them that much, but really good overall. I think that the graphics look great, and the music and audio sounds amazing as well.
Great game.
Nice tower defense ! I took some time to figure out how to play it well. It can snowball very fast for the ennemy or you depending on the strategy you choose to take. I had really good time playing it and it's kinda addictive. It's really well made for a compo game gratz !
Great game with nice music and art. I like the tower defense mechanics.
Good TD! A lot of content in this for a compo game, good job.
Very nice twist of tower defense game and rogue like game. There is plenty room for upgrading this game and just wanna say it's really nice idea. Good job. Defeated the game btw!
i thought this was really fun! took a bit to get the hang of, but after a few runs i was able to win. some of the balancing needs tweaking, but this is a really strong start i hope you work more on :)
Thanks for a fun game! You've gotten a lot of early feedback so there's not really much that hasn't been said. The music loop was nice, and the graphics are solid.
I did struggle a little bit with the difficulty curve, but you already addressed this. Great entry!
Fan of TD here. Took me some time to figure out the stuff because of the two lines on each top and bottom, but when i got it, it ran smooth :D
always enjoy TD games. Good spin and good job!
Interesting mix. Made me think of Dungeon of the Endless.
Things on screen were very small, though. Even some text was barely legible and the window in not resizable. I understand 48h is short, but maybe something to improve later or for the next game.
