very satisfying effects ... I think I did not get the controls 100% tho
@velvetlobster its just Space or mouse click anywhere on the screen. You simply swap the cannon and the archer
Continuing to defend the castle with the new color when you (inevitably) loose, is such a genious move! Such a fun little game :heart:
got it @kupnu4 , thanks, I was doing that, just did not know where they would shoot the projectiles
this was very satisfying tho
So clean. I don't know how you managed all entities when they enter into the tower but it's well done.
Love the bounciness and animation of the enemies. I agree with the other commenter, very satisfying to play.
Well done, funny engaging game with nice graphic and style. Great entry :)
PS I had graphic glitches all the time on firefox.

I tested on chrome and everything works fine there, so it must be something with firefox. I had similar problem with one of my game. Its nice to add info like "recommended to play on Chrome" on itch. Anyway i had a lot of fun :)
Wow, that's hella fun! Nice entry here! Congrats!
Nice Game! I would love to see some upgrades!
Really fun idea. Simple and very pretty game. Great job.
@martinek Thanks!
Great weekend game! I dropped bombs like a mofo out there... until they got me. I hope you expand on the concept and throw me a message for another play through if you do!
Thanks!
It was a cool surprise when the attackers won, and then replaced the defenders and it just started all over! Very cool!
Nice work, super clean too. You all did a good job keeping the various 2D/3D/sound/music fit together. 494 was my best score after a few plays.
@ghostmaple Many thanks!
Really nice looking game! Interesting mechanic about switching around the archer and the cannon. With some upgrades and maybe some more weapons to swap between this could a really cool full game. Good job!
Fun game! really interesting mechanic and the graphics were well done!
Love the concept and the art style. You could make this a little steam game if you add upgrades (I am sure it would sell) and other features! Love the music.
Great entry!
One of my favorite game so far !
Switching the team at the end of the round is a wonderful idea instead of having a screen proposing to player another one.
Graphics, sounds and humor magnifies it all, well done !
The graphics, animation and sound are the things that stands out most in this game. The game feels rather fun to look at, although the gameplay is very simplistic. Everyone else has already mentioned this, but the idea of having the castle switch colors upon defeat is really clever!
Ahh, that's a nifty take on the tower defense genre for sure, the gameplay is a bit simple, but also easy to understand, the art style is cute and the music and sounds play into the production to make it feel finished. A good entry all in all! Cheerz!
Honestly, for this being a one button control game this is one of the most fun ones I've played this jam. Just the sheer happiness of blasting an oncoming flock of soldiers to pieces by pressing space is something few games have managed to get out of me. The artstyle and sound design were on point as well. Top shelf quality product.
It's amazing how strategic this is with only one button. You really start to plan how to reach higher scores by just choosing the side of your cannon and archer. The art is so funny and the restart is such a nice touch, but the gameplay. So original.
it an amazing and innovative game. It would be nice if the game would show which group of soldiers are about to be attacked
I really dig the art style and the atmosphere. As previous reviewers stated - I haven't played a game where I feel so stressed but I only have to press one button - was a super cool experience. I would have liked to have some boosters to be able to bypass one or two times the most intense moments when the random generator spawns too much enemies at once. Anyways - this is just a game jam and the game is solid the way it is :v: Keep up the good work!
The best tower defense game on the jam! Simple mechanics and addictive gameplay!
This is really cool and looks absolutely amazing! Great job!
Great looking game and its fun - got boring fast just due to the lack of variety but for a jam game this was great!
Very nice polish and cleanliness, really bouncy and satisfying to play. I really like the bomb effect, specifically. I will have to take notes!
Great artstyle, very pleasing to the eye. Cool idea, definitely a good basis for further development :)
Very nice and simple game and the restart animation is just on point, well done
YesyesyesyesyesYES!
Legolas eat your heart out
So good, so simple, so effective. Lovely art! The enemies running in at the end belongs on r/oddlysatisfying
My only complaint is that it's a little too simple in its mechanics, as in the optimum strategy is just to play over and over until the enemies neatly spawn in hoards on the side of the cannon, and spread apart on the side of the archer.
Love the switch of the city to the invading force's colours. Such a neat way of implementing the replay. Also means it's very easy to keep going on for ages without stopping :D
Nicely done!
Hi Score:
Hoard.png
Well done! I absolutely love the artwork, animations and sound design. The gameplay is simple but fun. Is there any chance to kill all the enemies and win?
@dmitrygalias Thanks, but what do you mean by "win"? There is absolutely no such thing as "win". History runs in circles as we all know. You only get to take a glimpse of what is destined to happen. In other words - no win, sorry🤓
@brotherst Ooh, you've managed to beat my highscore! Going to stay up all night now!🥸
Thanks for all the kind words everyone! It's a blast!💥
@kupnu4 You are right, sad but true.
This is a fun little game, simple concept but executed really well. It was only until I saw the ship that I noticed that it's 3D. :D The style reminds me of pixeljunk monsters. The little effects make the game come alive. Good job!
Love the enemies and animations! I wish the were some more strategy involved - e.g. armored enemies that can be only destroyed with the cannon or flying enemies that can be only destroyed w the archer. I also really liked the twist where they go inside and the flag changes the color :smile:
Here is my playtest:

@icxon Thank you so much for playing! Now when I've read it, all of your suggestions seem just like being on the surface all the time, and it's hard to believe that they didn't cross our minds not even once! It fascinates me the most in game development. You simply wander around cool ideas that eager to be stumbled upon. Mind boggling.🍪
OOh, I liked this one. I want more! I want to be able to upgrade or add more defence the longer I'm playing. Sound effects were lit. :fire:
Great entry, surprising depth with simple one button controls! High score: 361.
That really escalated quickly. Nice premise!
Simple, efficient, really cute (I just love those little guys) and it loops flawlessly. Why ask for more ? It would totally work on me as a phone game. Thank you for this nice little moment :)
@garymarance Thanks! It's going to end up as a phone game eventually🦄
Great entry! The mechanic is genius in its simplicity and the art complements it highly. I really like it. I would just suggest making the difficulty curve less steep, because the game goes from easy to impossible in a matter of seconds. My highscore is 479 :)

Really cool and promising game you made there! And it was great to see you on the stream today! Here's the link if you want to rewatch it: https://youtu.be/n5c0GndY1SY
Is it a beautiful game with interesting innovative game balance usage.
Amazing game! Really addictive, looks and sounds super good! Awesome job! And here is my highscore :)

Really cute game!
I love the super simple gameplay, the very nice art and the nice visual and audio feedback everywhere!
I think there is a problem with the highscore, it seems to show you last score and not your best one?
Thanks for the game I had fun 🏰
Ahhh I love how polished this is. Graphics, audio, camera setup, everything felt right. This was fun and exciting, and I couldn't find any problems with it. Nice job!
