Let's start a Highscore list here in the comments if, I'll start with my Wave 7 score, not super good, but I'll be sure to get better at it when I can put my wacom to the side and enjoy the game :sweat_smile:

My score pretty happy with it Untitled.png

Really good job! Love the graphics and the mood and gameplay is also very good.

My pathetic score :sweat_smile: tlc_hs.PNG

Demonic feel of this really brings it into it's own. Only gripe is that early on I feel like there's more decision into how to place towers, but after a while you might as well place them everywhere, and it's harder to care at that point.

Oof, I placed a high-cost tower first and immediately lost. (edit: twice in a row.) LOVED the Loop Hero style graphics and sfx. The spooky horn on round start is especially great. In general, one of my favorites so far!

Very enjoyable game, had a blast playing it! I think you match perfectly the visuals with audio for the atmosphere. I decided to see how much I learn from just playing the game (ignoring instructions on this page) and gate repair confused me, probably because I saw a glimpse that you can upgrade and hammer icon has been used for that in other games. Maybe adding a gate with it could telegraph better its purpose. You could consider including the turret upgrade cost to the actual upgrade button. Otherwise the button is pretty small and you might miss it in the heat of battle.

Great game, I think I'll play one more round... :D

:) Very fun! Really great sound effects throughout. And the music fits the vibe very well too. Fun art, good tower mechanics! It does feel less intense on later waves, since each action you make matters less at that point. But very fun to play!

I really liked playing this! The tower defense mechanics are clear and visual design is easy to understand (although splash effect is not very recognizable). Still not sure if upgrading slowing tower is worth it.

Here is my playtest: https://youtu.be/l4Ah1MApkhU

Pretty fun game with simple graphics, good job!

applestreet-games 2022-04-06 20:49

Very polished and fun tower defense game. Thanks for sharing!

pwnofprophecy 2022-04-06 20:50

I always love a good tower defense game and it fits the theme of this jam perfectly. Nice work!

emulization 2022-04-06 20:52

as a big fan of tower defense games i m enjoyed, good pixelart and audio design.

skruffye 2022-04-06 20:56

Really fun. I forgot how much I missed playing tower defence games. :smile:

The towers could have been a bit better differentiated so it's easier to tell what you're placing at the beginning, but after a bit of trial and error, it isn't really a problem.

I like the premise and the super simple (but very effective) graphics. Would love to see a post-jam version with more towers and upgrades!

Great job, guys!

Good job on this game. The graphics are simple but neat, consistent, with a good choice of colors. Together with the sound it really conveys the right mood. One thing you can improve on is to make the controls a bit more clear. I didn't know you could upgrade the towers until I read it in the comments here. But I guess I could have read the page more carefully :D

mibehu 2022-04-06 21:13

Nice little tower defense game! Not only polished but glittered as well (with the blood of innocent people).

daniel-username 2022-04-06 23:45

Really neat! Great art style. I couldn't quite tell whether my upgrades were working or not though, but I enjoyed it nontheless.

lanalux 2022-04-07 00:18

Damn, that's an addictive game. Excellent work.

xenobey 2022-04-07 11:06

A classic take on the tower defense genre but very well executed. Really loved the art style and that eerie feeling the music and the sound effects convey. Congrats on your entry.

0x01f0 2022-04-07 11:35

Mind blown! :) Really has everything you want in a tower defense game.. Time flew because it was really fun and juicy.. Well-balanced too, died quickly the first time but reached 404 kills the second time.

The soundtrack is really nice, reminds me of Golden Axe to Sega Mega Drive :heart_eyes:

f1krazy 2022-04-08 19:03

This is very well done. The graphics are excellent, the art style and sound effects really compliment each other and perfectly convey the mood of the game, and the difficulty strikes just the right balance between making you feel like you're getting stronger while also still leading you to an inevitable demise. Making you choose between building more towers, upgrading your existing ones, or healing yourself adds an extra element of depth and strategy, too.

I really enjoyed this! Keep it up!

arend-hintze 2022-04-09 12:29

pretty well made, also the graphic is good, not the greatest innovation, but all in all very solid execution, I liked playing it, even though I am not a turret defense fan, Cheers Arend

nullval 2022-04-09 12:57

The graphics and sounds are well put together. It is very difficult, or maybe I just suck at TD games :P probably the latter...

The music was very good, really haunting and immersive. It puts you in the mood of a dire situation.

Though maybe a city that plans its defense budget around how many people the defenses kill and not how many enemies are projected to show up is doomed from the start? :P

marumari 2022-04-10 16:09

This game felt every polished and was great to play. Its so fun and difficult at the same time. The only thing i missed was maybe an Info text when hoovering over the buildings. To see what the building would do or how much damage it will deal.

evgeney24 2022-05-15 14:54

Nice TD with great mood. Range indicators on towers would be good.
