Very interesting idea with that it uses a bunch of keys on the keyboard and you have to figure it out, to me it's like the mix of a tower / base defense and an input game which are a unique mix to me!

I've never seen a Tower Defence Game which is cooldown based like this one. Even though learning the hotkeys for every trap was confusing at first, I really like the idea.

nice tower defense concept.. love the graphic.. cute.. but for first level .. its too hard.. better make tutorial before the hardest.. but i totally love it..

Took a while to figure out the keys and the game started very fast. Level 2 was the most fun to try and get a good grade.

Bro, you crushed it!!! Very fun and I enjoyed personally!!!

In keyboard, it is like button bashing!!

Bro All the best and try to do more marketing stuff since your games is super and you should be recognized!

Definitely a unique idea! The sprites and animation do a great job of looking like a retro game I'd play on my computer in the late 90s / early 2000s, gameplay too! I'd say my only feedback would be that I struggled to keep track of all the keys, I don't know if it would be better if all the objects of the same type were on the same key? I can see with practice I could probably get better though, just a lot to look at haha.

Nice work :D

Pretty fun game overall! I really wish there was a pause button so you didn't have to rush to figure out what you wanted to do before the deliverymen started spawning in, but that pressure does make the game feel more hectic. Nice implementation of a good idea!

I found the game really hard, I couldn't keep track of everything that was going on on the screen. There's probably a high skill ceiling if you get comfortable with the keyboard controls though. In the 4th level the best I could do was to just keep the three lasers going as much as possible and on the fifth level I just focused on the little island before the bottom, since everyone seemed to come through there

Some Lemmings or Lode Runner style that's why I thought I need to help them first :smile:

Graphics and UI might have been bigger. And the first level seemed over-complicated, should have started with simple things, and increased complexity step-by-step.

Nice work.

Damn that's hard! Neat little concept! Congrats!

Very interesting mechanics. Was truly fun to play especially because of how hectic it was :smile:

Really nice puzzles - I like that there are multiple ways of solving each level. With given creativity everything can be completed!

Love it! Had a blast trying to optimise the chaos of murdering hundreds of deliverymen :joy: A little hard to learn, but once I understood what was going on it was cool

mtwhateverest 2023-05-02 11:02

This was fun and chaotic to play! The traps are well thought out. The UI and graphics could have been a bit bigger.

Overall well done :)

zombiebust3r 2023-05-02 14:20

I like the twist to the theme of stopping the delivery. It is very chaotic but fun to play. Great job!

cole-hutson 2023-05-02 14:57

Bruh, I am to slow for this :( good game I just literally suck a games like this.

jithu 2023-05-02 15:34

Nice work really and nice game idea but i feel its not perfectly fit to theme but in overall its a nice game

weirdbitgames 2023-05-02 15:35

The appearance and style of this game is really appealing to me! I couldn't seem to find a way to make it bigger or fullscreen though? I wasn't too sure what I was doing so I spammed a lot of buttons until all of the delivery guys died haha! A really good entry overall!

jonrei 2023-05-02 15:47

Oh man do i need these traps along my sidewalk :imp:

daniillenin 2023-05-02 21:29

A great concept of anti-lemming game with controlls requiring some skill to master every level! Tip: you can spam Q-E to s-rank lvl2 =D

cmdpancakes 2023-05-02 23:13

Haha very well done. Interesting take on the lemmings idea

jaydubbyasee 2023-05-03 03:56

I really loved this game. I was really digging the artstyle. Really had a retro art style. Reminded me of lemmings or those old nintendo / arcade games like joust. The game mechanics were really clever. Also the understated music was a nice touch as well. Fantastic job!

philipprapp95 2023-05-11 13:08

Very cool idea, I'm a huge lemmings fan and this brought it to another level. so satisfying to see the delivery people getting hit by the various obstacles :D Good job!

kristinamay 2023-05-16 18:29

Really impressive game! It could be fun to be able to place traps yourself in another version of this game. For some reason the art made me think a lot of The Incredible Machine. Just like, a waaaay more violent version of that game. The laser was super satisfying. I also HATE JUNK MAIL. Great work!

mavvy 2023-05-18 04:30

This is a really cool take on the tower defense genre. I love how it's a reverse lemmings, where you don't want them to hit the end goal and work out how the elaborate traps kill them. The graphics double down on that fun factor, great use of effects. Radical game! :thumbsup:

the-syhl 2023-05-20 13:59

Oh waw ! That game was intense ! The idea is great, and it's really fun to play, it makes you want to restart every level to master it perfectly ! It's easy to understand, hard to master, and fun to play, well done !
