Cute game! I liked the art, and the onboarding is super simple. A bit hard (the turrets nearly exterminated me in almost all levels) but I managed to win! Congrats on your entry :)

nice game. the waypoint system is a bit wanky at times.
The waypoint system is great and easy to get into. I liked the art, too. Nice little game 😊
Easy and tasteful. Good job!
I liked the game and art style, albeit i feel the game is a bit too easy and short but i like the game overall
Nice!!
I like the idea of the game (placing some checkpoints and going to the end without getting too much damage). I manage to win every single level.
The graphics are cool (in general I love pixel art). Good entry!
Neat game. Removing and readding waypoints could use some improvement. Otherwise great job
Cool little game. It seemed a bit easy, I didn't really need to think much to win, just placing the way points at the end everytime makes you win, but it's a nice demonstration of a gameplay mechanic that could be expended futher. I love the little music. Well done!
The levels are very simple and it's easy for me to pass. I never expected to experience a tower defense game from the "enemy's" perspective hahaha. The art design of the environment and creatures are also very well done. I really love this design!
I like the "reverse tower defense" idea! I think there's good potential in this game, and a little more polish would greatly improve it!
Damn it! Sad you didn't realize the time constraint: everything you did was really polished and satisfying. You've got a great base to build on and make some more interesting levels and mechanics.
The game is very fun! I was a bit confused by why my team multiplies so rapidly, but it's a pretty nice game, so much potential too! Congratz
This game has potential! Took a bit of experimentation to determine how far to keep my critters away from turrets, but that's part of the fun. I got caught off guard by some turrets hiding off the side of the screen! I thought I had the perfect route :spy:
@Rambar Thanks for the feedback! I didn't have time to balance any of the levels, so I'm really glad you still liked it! :grin:
@zsharpfire @sketchbookbug @rentem Thanks! Really appreciate the feedback here. The waypoint system really is a bit messy, definitely a victim of quick and dirty jam coding haha. I will work on it in the next version! :smile:
@sasha20 @reyansh @planetary Thank you for the lovely comments! I'm a bit unhappy with the art style in this, I think I could've made a lot more and cooler assets with a bit more time. But that's part of the fun in a jam, glad you guys liked the game and its visuals! :grin:
@winter2277 @cathelaleph @phyrocast @mrspeaker @t-pirozzini Yea the difficulty is an issue in this. Originally I intended to add 3 different turrets and 3 different creatures, which would've allowed for way more diversity in levels etc. Super happy about y'alls feedback! :v:
@ryuu Glad you liked my game! :slight_smile: The multiplication was not intended like this, I only realized shortly before the deadline so I couldn't fix it, unfortunately. I even uncovered a bug that spawns infinite rats so you get a stream of them running from start to finish and the level would never end hahaha
@mullenratte oh, that happened to me once! haha I was waiting until it finished for curiosity but it kept going hahaha
good
Cute game and i like the pixel art, towers were annoying but i like the puzzle element
The game is too simple, and there's no punishment for the death of creatures. Except this, everything is well done.
Nice idea, would have been cool to have some ways to defend against the towers :smile:
