Tower defence is a solid concept. Making use of the theme to combine turn-based strategy and real-time tower defence is a great idea. There is so much potential.

It would be better if the player control could be more polished.

Good luck for your first jam game!

A solid take on the theme! The game felt a bit unfair, since you can only move a tiny bit around the map and then the enemies destroy you in just a few turns, and the price for the turrets seemed a bit too high. Also the player's movement looks jittery, guess there's something wrong with the controls? A final note: both player movement during player's turn & camera movement during enemies' turn use the same controls, so you end up unwantedly moving the camera for a second or so after your turn ended but you didn't realize that yet, which is a little bit frustrating. Overall with some polish this would be a cool game!

Nice game, the concept of tower defense is very interesting, I found the game a little unbalanced, the player moves very slowly, the pieces are far away and the price to build the tower is expensive, making the enemy win in just a few rounds, maybe lowering the price of the tower and increasing the player speed can give the game a more fun experience. Overall, good job!
