What a great game. It's very pretty and so much fun. You must have put in tons of work! The big slime was excellent, I actually had to use it to clear the last level. VERY NICE *thumbs up*. The doge is my favourite tower.

Cute game! Cute graphics! Kudos to your hard work for the past 3 days!
Great game! Love the mix of a maze tower defense and plants v zombies. Art was great, and game was fun!
This is such a lovely little game. It reminds me of plants vrs zombies, of course, but so different at the same time. The slimes get crazy, and the big mama slime was kind of shocking the first time it woke up since I didn't realize it was coming. Love it.
love the art and music! the theme is really good too and so relaxing! I wish the sugar cubes flashed or were easier to see.
Very cute tower defense game! The art style is unique, a nd the idea of a super enemy who becomes angered when you build gives the game a great twist!
Nicely done!
This was so cute! Loved the combination of minesweeper and tower defense, very clever! The art and music was lovely too. Excellent work!
Very cute game! Same with the comment above I had a hard time getting the sugar cubes. Overall great job!
I really had fun with this. The charm of the art and design really made it enjoyable.
Love the graphics and a fun tower defense game! The two notches towards the end doesn't have collision which killed my strategy for blocking them!
That's a really great game! Many choices and ways to protect your village, music to chill out to, beatiful pixel art graphics. Quite awesome!
I really like the art of this game. The audio is great too. amazing job!
So cute graphics! Cool game! Crate job
I really loved the art of the game: especially those jelly dogs which were also super powerful! The whole mood of the game is really charming and relaxing
I liked the different shape of map mahing some tower more or less useful according to it
This is a great game, I had a lot of fun playing! The art looks so good and on the whole everything just felt really polished. It's cute, with a solid gameplay look that kept me hooked. The sounds and music compliment the gameplay giving (as mentioned by others) an overall very chill experience.
I'd love to see this expanded and maybe put out as a mobile game? I'd certainly play it
Congrats on a great entry, I enjoyed it a lot :)
What a fun game! I really love those little tower builder games so much and this was a nice twist by adding the minesweeper element!! The slimes and all the buildings were so cute and the overall look is very polished! Definitely bookmarking to play again!!
This is a lot of fun! Even though I couldn't get past the third level (damn jellies striking down my towers), I had a lot of fun trying. I had trouble understanding the rage meter of the giant slime, didn't expect it to swallow half of my buildings, but after enraging it twice I understood what to avoid and how it works :) The game is really addictive, also I love the cute towers, enemies and all the assets! Especially the Adventure Time reference :tada: Very good entry, I love it.
I love the game design and the pixel art! It's sooooo cute!!! It's a little hard for me to understand what the power of those characters since I need to hover on them to learn the rule in game. Considering this is made in 72 hours and don't necessarily have time for the tutorial, I think this is acceptable. If you would like to work on this after the event, I think you could consider improve the appearance of the characters to make their powers more intuitive to players. Well done!
Overall gameplay experienced is good but there are couple of things to improve. First off the boba pearl tower is virtually unusable since slimes will eventually go diagonal and just with that they have effectively avoid boba pearl tower and the boba bullet can't go through obstacles so there's no point to deploy boba pearl tower because long range attacks will get blocked by obstacles thus laser towers are far superior defending against the slimes.
The wall block is also impractical since the tower can't shoot the blocked slimes as they instantly die after colliding with the wall block and also the wall breaks down too fast. Personally i would prefer more durable towers compared to wall blocks.
Sugar cubes are very easy to miss because they somewhat blend with the background. adding a glow effect or something bright will help players spot sugar cubes.
I guess that's all, had a lot of fun playing it though. Thanks for the submission!
Very great game overall. I really appreciated the quality of the graphic design. I might benefit from having a little tutorial at the beginning because it took me some time to understand how it works. I would also differentiate the little monsters from the sugar cubes and maybe add some sound design to have more impact on the player.
So cuuuuuuuuuuuuuute~~~ Surprisingly, it is actually a tower defense game. Nice job!
loved the cute art! very well-polished for such a short period of time!
Nice mixture of styles. Having the angry boss was a nice touch. But took me a bit to make sense of what was going on
This is the most fun I've had playing a jam game so far. The graphics are cute, the music and sfx are chill and the gameplay is fun and not too challenging. Great game!
Hi Lucy, good job! Cute~
It's fun to play and beautiful to look, an excellent entry indeed. These kind of games are often unbalanced in the rush of 72 hours but you guys managed to find the right spot. Congrats!
Edit: returned and played a little more, really fun 5/5
Amazing art! The music is also sooooo calm! Great game!
One of my favourites, really nice graphics and quite addictive :) Very minor nitpick would be I much prefer the tutorial/instructions being integrated into the game (I guess I don't have the attention span to read through the instructions screen at the start). Really nice job and impressive in such a short time. Well done :)
This is amazing <3 I think it's gotta be one of my favorite entries. I'm a sucker for cute, relaxing games and this just matches that to a T. The pixel art is so cute. This was definitely one of the entries I spent the most time on because it's sooooo addicting and relaxing HAHA. Love the boba bear!!! :))
The only bug I found was that I couldn't click sugar cubes if they were under certain structures (I forgot which ones).
I think this would do numbers on mobile. Congrats on such a cute game!!
Brilliant fun, it was a really unique concept that was executed very well! I loved the way you had to balance tower building - not only did you have to worry about the elder slime, but also the paths of the smaller slimes too, as well as how well positioned your towers were - it led to some great strategy. The towers were all good as well, I liked how much variety there was in them, and how not all of them were used for killing slimes either. The variety in enemies helped the game a lot too, I'd love to see that idea expanded upon with more variety in enemy types! The artwork was wonderful, calming in a way; the nice nighttime background was nice and peaceful considering the battleground in front. I appreciated the animations when slimes died too, as well as the little amount of sugar you got - it made those waves with dozens of weak slimes so much fun. The music and sound effects also worked well, especially the little squish noises. Overall a very good game, with even more potential too - fantastic work on it!
It's a good game, glad to have spent time with it.
Lots of fun! Great work. Beautiful artwork and easy to pick up game play. I would have liked to hear the music ramp up as the slimes invaded more to amp up the tension.
Nice little tower defense, although the slimes are not following the light green paths and instead are going through the outside territory which feels like cheating to me and kinda removing the whole point of walls other then that, well done and feels quite polished!
