It's a very simple tower defence game but still impressive that you made this during the jam period. All the fundamentals are there I just wish that there was more information in game about what everything does. For example, how much cash does the money worm generate, and how often? Cool game especially cause it has worms in it, I love worm games :)

Tower defense is a great take on the theme, props for making a game in Java, it can be a pretty difficult language for games. I think there may be an issue with the audio (I had some issues with that in my LD 45 entry that I coded in Java. I'm pretty sure there's something with the way audio bit rate works). Anyway cool idea, and I liked all the different worms. High marks for innovation for sure.
*I like that it autosent me to go get openJDK, thank you!*
... okay nevermind. I installed it, added %JAVA_HOME% variable, added %JAVA_HOME%\bin to my PATH, tested that I have access to javaw.exe, I do. Click your .exe, and it cannot find Java 17... what gives?
@exevirus Unfortunately the linked version of Java doesn't work. I have linked to a version of java which should work properly. Thank you for bringing this to my attention.
Okay, it plays now. I keep getting to round 3, but it freezes. Three times in a row, same spot in the round. Though I am enjoying the game-play so far. will rate now, in case I don't hear back or don'thave time to update it again. Thanks!
Plays fine on Mac OS X, although it asked for Microphone permissions?
I thought it was a pretty fun game. A relatively simple tower defense, but solid and works fine. I would say the audio actually detracts from the game before too long because the music is so repetitive, I think I would have preferred sounds effects instead. Nice work!
