It was fun to figure out a strategy and win the game! Good job!
Nice strategy game. Hard to figure out at first but got the hang of it eventually.
Good strategy game. Well done!
**just won :) great game with an original idea!**
only downside was that it's a bit too small when not in fullscreen so to everyone reading comments before playing:
Had a great time with this. The exponential feeling of things getting rapidly more out of control while also making money quicker was fantastic! One suggestion in future would be to have more descriptive UI, as I was unsure which towers did what at first but I eventually worked it out.
Great job!
This is very nice game. I like art style very much. Also, if you manage to win and then you restart, the money counter breaks and stucks on 100 credits
@shores @tiago-cruz @glebshik @caladrius @bjakubowski @mrks Thanks for the feedback.
@mrks Yep I agree, I made the initial window size 2x larger on itch.io.
Great game! I love TD games. I found out that you win the game by destroying the crystal in the middle. I think it would be even more interesting if you had to kill off all the plague to win. Then you'd have to figure out a strategy of containing the growing plague (which what I did at first).
Very interesting idea and I really like it. It took me a while to figure out what to do, but I got it :smile:. Btw when I restarted the game, my coins stucked on 100 and did not change whole game. But overall really good job.
Nice :) It would probably benefit from giving different capacities to the different towers (for now it seems like they are just more or less powerful), but it was fun nevertheless :)
I started by placing one of the more expensive towers directly next to the crystal and won without much effort.
Defending against natural growth sounded like a very interesting concept though which led me to start again and try to defend against the growth without removing the source. These runs were very fun and difficult! Screenshot from 2021-10-12 00-50-05.png
(I eventually made it!)
Now for some weird ideas on how to extend the concept: 1. Towers must be placed near other towers. (This would prevent the strategy of placing a tower next to the crystal at the start) 2. Cities are towers that can be placed (These can become the only sources of income so they have to be held secure) 3. The corruption favors growing towards cities. 4. Towers can be deleted 5. You only lose when no city is left. 6. When a city is overrun by corruption it creates a crystal 7. Towers can be destroyed by the corruption 8. Some more unique towers! (One that blocks the spread to adjacent tiles, but is still vulnerable. One that heals other towers. One that explodes once destroyed to take out a large amount of corruption in the area.) 9. Maybe the corruption can build it's own towers (one that attacks at a longer range, the crystal itself)
It amazes me how much potential there is in the core game idea and I'd love to check out a more polished future version when you decide to create one.
Those golden towers are just.. golden. Won with only 6 of them hugging the crystal.
I like tower defense games, so I was immediately hooked! First, things that I like: - the art style is really nice, - the music fits the game well, - game mechanics are easy to understand. - the whole concept behind the game is also good.
Things that could be improved: - I agree with things that reispfannenfresser mentioned, - I would love to have a description of what each tower do (and if they are just a more powerful version, then I would like some different abilities for each tower), - upgrades for towers would be nice too, - instead of destroying the tower when creeps get to it, maybe a mechanic that will turn off the tower until it is not creep is not cleared around it, or even it is turned into another crystal,
Anyway, great game! It was fun to play it.
Fun little game, although like some others have suggested, maybe a way to upgrade towers or remove one and replace it with something more expensive later on.
Good entry!
