Simple but cute graphics—I like it!

@aou, Thanks. Yeah, sadly didn't have time for QoL.

Cool graphics and nice mechanics, I have to think much and after finishing the compo my brain is not working.

This is a cool and unusual take on planning. To be honest, I didn’t fully understand how it worked at first, but once it clicked, it became really engaging.

If I didn’t have to check out other games, I feel like I could’ve spent a few hours playing this one.

The gameplay is really exciting. Unfortunetly, there wasn't enough variety in the enemies and cards, and there weren't many sound effects. Overall, it was fun to play.

simple but cute graphics with a really unusual and engaging strategy mechanic that gets super addicting once it clicks

Overall, a really solid entry! The pixel art and UI/UX are super clean and made for a very comfortable experience. The SFX are on point too, though a background track would’ve really nailed the atmosphere.

The gameplay is super fresh—I haven't played much tower defense game like that before, so it felt really novel. However, the balancing could use a bit of fine-tuning. Some unit behaviors felt a bit erratic and unexplained, and the cards didn't feel distinct enough from one another. Also, the theme connection felt a bit loose to me.

That said, this is an excellent project with tons of potential. With a little more polish, it could be something really special. Awesome job!

Cute and bright art style, i like it, but need to add description to enemies' behaviours.

Cool targeting system paired well with the card mechanics. I liked learning what the enemies would do to learn how to predict them. Overall a fun game, well done!

carterjbx 2026-04-23 02:22

Lots of fun, i enjoyed how the different enemies moved and trying to learn how to counter them!

drainkid 2026-04-23 03:04

Good game! Having to predict ahead to where enemies will be in a few turns is simple but it adds a lot to the experience. Nice job!
