Nice idea and gameplay. I think it needs a little more player feedback for UI, I didn't notice the stacks were in the astronaut's back until late in the game!

Nice idea and gameplay. I think it needs a little more player feedback for UI, I didn't notice the stacks were in the astronaut's back until late in the game!
Cool little tower defense game :) Some better feedback on the stack size and a minimap for better map overview would have improved this a lot :)
I enjoyed the game and I think it was a well fit for the theme. Having health bars on the enemies would be nice to see how much damage we need to make.
Nice idea, not bad to play.
Lack feedback from UI, about how many wood I have, so I lost time to cut tree with full stack. No pause menu, and settings of volume is also the problem... But nice job :)
some weird UI choices with the keys to move and the on-screen buttons to chop/build. if i could leave the axe by the trees instead of that drawn out animation every time I feel i'd have done better :) it did keep me coming back tho, i got over 50 kills, good job!
Nice simple idea, and the gameplay is smooth but has some issues. It would be nice if the UI showed X/Y stacks somewhere. I also didn't notice them on the astronaut until quite late. You also have to spend most of your time chopping trees in a place where you can't see what is going on which is not great, which also means you can't see how much health you have left so game over is unexpected. The run upgrade didn't seem that useful. I scored 55 kills.
Fun and simple little game. I really liked the astronaut's design. An indicator for the current stack size would have been great, I wasn't sure at first if was supposed to continue chopping until the stack size was reached. I'm torn over the slow axe preparing animation - on one hand, I was always annoyed that the little guy took all his time to get into the perfect position to chop wood while aliens are attacking the base, on the other hand, this fact forced me to plan my resource distribution a bit better. All in all, I had fun. I reached 30. :D
Nice game, feels pretty well balanced with the upgrades! Like many others it also took me a while to notice the stacks on the player, also took me a while to realize that you could partially put resources to upgrading.
Oh also on a meta-tip I noticed that you have given over 20 ratings but still don't have 20 ratings for your game, I recommend leaving some comments as the new "smart" algorithm that most people use to discover games really requires.
Overall a simple and pretty fun little tower defense game.
I got sucked into this a lot more than I expected! It would be nice if the animation/timing to go in and out of chopping was shortened a bit, but this may be part of how you decided to balance running between chopping/building? Overall really great entry :)
Really nice idea, I liked the physicality of having to run off to get the resources in order to build up your own defenses. The delay between animations starting/stopped and when you interact with things caused a little frustration, having accidently clicked the chop one too many times meant that during this incredibly tight get was losing a lot of time because of that. I did really like the partial upgrades that you could do, really nice idea there.
Fun little tower defense, but the gameplay felt a bit uninteresting to me. Instead of choosing between different tower types, or where to place them, I was just running back and forth. I also think some more UI feedback would be nice, but as is it was mostly fine once I realized the things appeared on your back. Good job on the audio and mood though!
Neat little game. I almost didn't realize I could build the guns, took me a minute to realize it was a tower defense game. I obviously missed that you show it in the screenshot at the top, but mentioning them in the instructions could be helpful as I almost missed them and closed the game without getting the full experience. Nice graphics and audio, they really helped pull it all together. Great entry overall!
