Hi :)
The lighting really gives a great atmosphere and the mining etc. feels good. So, well done.
I think it would be nice if you could always see the castle. maybe in a small window on the top right. I kept going down to mine wax and suddenly I lost... I did not see it coming and that felt weird.
However it was still a fun challenge for me so I tried it a few times. I survived 5 minutes.
It might also be interesting to add some time goals with rewards. So after surviving for 5 min you get 200 wax or something. At 4:30 it just felt hopeless.
I think enemy and tower variety are not super important tbh. I only got to build one cannon and I still think it might have been better to go for wall + tower... So of course you can try to balance this but I think by adding more you would just waste your effort on something that no player will ever use/see.
For anyone except the author reading this: This game is nice so if you are trying to find something to play and rate, this is it. ;)
very nice mechanics, definitely develop this further!
Fun as hell. This is the kind of thing I buy on Steam. Love turtling in tower defence games! My only complain is that there isn't more yet!
Good game -the art is nice, the mechanics are simple with very few (if any) bugs. You can develop a strategy quite quickly with this, for example I tend to drop right down and mine out the lower regions of the map first. Maybe consider listing the controls somewhere, had some issues working out how to build turrets and stuff.
Nice graphics, good game
It's a good game and I like it! Graphics is wonderful, atmosphere of dangerous world is great. But I think enemies are too strong, or I just a little sloppy :-)
Really cool game! It reminded me of Kingdom, which is a game I like a lot!
Ohhhh This was super fun! Huge fan of the lighting here and it really adds to the mood of the whole game, I played for a while! Also, nice art!!
Fun game, reminds me of dome romantik a bit from ld48!
Nice grapchis and fun gameplay, could be fun if expanded upon as it seems the difficulty level stops after a while!
Good job!
It's very nice! I love the collecting/building mechanic, that's great that you had time to put that up for a jam! I felt like it was a bit too easy, I didn't really had to think of any layout for my towers or strength/weakness of the enemies, but it's still impressive to be able to do this kind of mechanic! Good job :clap:
Nice game ! Cute art, smooth controls. Well done !
A really nice game with awesome visuals! <3 Especially for your first LD. And it was great to have you on the stream! In case you want to watch it again, here's the link: https://youtu.be/moEABKSaTuI
Outstanding art and lighting!
Nice game. Looks great but is a bit too dark.
Absolutely love the graphics! Gameplay feels solid, albeit a bit easy once you figure out they do not attack the towers that do damage. just collect the full 300, build one mortar and one arrows on each side, collect up 100 again, 2 more arrows, and you are pretty much save.
If you wanted to expand it, adding in a day-night cycle and the ability to get items that let you venture into previously closed parts of the mine would be cool. E.g a pick to remove bolders. Could even put some story into some hidden parts.
This was really nice! Huge congrats for you first Ludum Dare!
I would look into how you could make snapping onto the ladders more forgiving for the player, rather than requiring them to line up perfectly. Unless you want that to be a mechanic of the game :wink:
Thanks for submitting your game for me to play on my stream!
If you’d like to rewatch the playthrough, you can find it here: https://www.twitch.tv/videos/1450162412?t=06h27m19s
Good luck on your ratings, see you next LD! :D

This is a great submission. I do feel that music/sfx would have helped immensely, but nonetheless it had a good atmosphere with the lighting. I do wish there was a way to see the castle while down mining to know when you have to head up to build more.
