Enjoyable tower defense!

I like bloons tree defense (\*w\*)

I was starting to enjoy it and then suddenly i no longer received any cards. It was a nice take on the theme. Deck building tower defense. Thanks for making it.

Cool idea with the mix of a card game and td game. I enjoyed it but found the second level to be a weird difficulty spike. Maybe I'm just bad though

This is such an appealing concept to me! And quite of a fun set-up :smile:

Unfortunately, there seem to be quite a bit of bugs hunting this cool game. - The "One of everything" card does not grant an action or mana at all, it was only giving me a card. - "Push Harder" grants only one action, not two. - At some point, the game just changed a view. All I could see was the bottom of the battlefield. I could still play, but could not "scroll up" to see the whole battlefield again. - Sometimes, the new round does not "fire up" properly - you don't get any new actions, so you can't proceed with the game. - Big black UPS truck does not seem to be effective at delivery (maybe a comment on effectiveness of UPS :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:) - it does not deal damage even when successfully arriving.

All these sadly hinder what could be a really great experience! If you are interested in working o this more, I would be curious to play it!

The music is very pleasant and fitting, and so are the SFX.

Interesting and unique take on a tower defense. Really fun!

It's a fun tower game! Personally wasn't a fan of the sounds, specifically the main menu clicking, so I had to disable audio early on in my playthrough. The card concept is really cool, I had fun playing!

Great game, I never thought of implementing a TD game but it's perfect for the theme. I thought the difficulty spiked a lot in level 2 though as I lost all of my towers, not sure what's going on there...maybe I missed some gameplay element that would have allowed me to put down more towers per round.

this is a cool game, love the concept, i did encounter a glitch where it wouldn't let me place my towers anywhere on the map for seemingly no reason, but besides that i had a fun time with it

Quite a full fletched game, a lot of content. Love the wobbly "monster" animations!

I had a lot of fun with this game. The different mechanics worked together perfectly, the scaling was just right to never feel over- or underpowered, the level design and layouts were fantastic, everything felt solid, I honestly don't know what to criticize here. I unfortunately ran into a bug where some letters made it to the portal but apparently missed it and left the map which softlocked the game but I had a fantastic time until that happened. If this got more polish and work put into it I would buy this.

Fun, polished game, The deck building seems like a great addition to a tower defense game.

This was pretty enjoyable, I like tower defense games so this felt right at home. The silly take on the genre is fun, with fighting letters and mailmen, and having different elements like ink or dogs. Maybe I was playing poorly but it felt like the balance was a little skewed towards being difficult; I was struggling in parts of level 2, so perhaps some more gradual scaling could help ease players in. Art and music were also both great; nice job!

tower defence is not really my kind of games, but I liked that one, cool submission

Interesting mechanic with buying Essence cards for future purchases :thinking:
