A lot could be improved and the contrast between different artstyle alongside the lack of animations is a bit jarring, but I can really tell a lot of time was spent on the characters! They look really cute :)
REALLY hard but I love the atmosphere!
This is really awesome! I love this theme so much and the execution is really neat, especially the sounds/music and art. The gameplay itself is pretty simple but that's not too bad, though I would appreciate more telegraphing or time to react to the immune system. Really neat game tho!
Fun and cute!! I enjoyed it although the later levels can be a bit hard and especially with how slow the truck moves and how large the maps are, trying over and over again gets a bit tedious. Really like the graphics tho, especially the town!
Simple but polished to a sheen! This looks and feels extremely good!
Straightforward but enjoyable! The game lagged quite a bit but it looks really nice and having to choose where on the truck to place the items is neat.
I love this! Simple and fun. Really reminded me of Papers Please, and the art feels clean and works well. Bon commentaire politique aussi, ça m'ai fait bien rire. Chais pas si les anglophones vont forcement comprendre mais j'ai trouvé ça bien drôle!
AMAZING!! This is a great artstyle and the gameplay is cool!!! I like the cover mechanic, though the game gets extremely easy to the point of making it a bit redundant after you get the shotgun. The shooting enemies could telegraphs their attack to make the cover mechanic more interesting as well. But otherwise this is awesome!!
minimalist but really nice!
I LOVE THE ART! The gameplay is also really cool, switching between the different mice at different stations is neat and as more chaos spreads it feels very hectic in a good way. Controlling the ship is a bit difficult and clunky but I feel like that's intended. Also the music and voice acting's funny. Wonderful job!
This ROCKS (haha geddit)!! How does this not have more ratings? The art looks wonderful and everything is polished! Having conversation be the main mechanic of the game is also really neat - though it is very linear and kind of hard to be wrong. Amazing job though!!
Cool game! The fridge and drone are cute, there seems to be a good amount of levels (though I got stuck on a level with an impassable yellowish barrier so I couldn't see all of them haha) and the puzzle mechanics are simple but satisfying! Also, nice music!!!
Very nice game!! Minimalist but clean and polished
I like the atmosphere and the lighting! Box physics are fun, though I wasn't sure on what I had to do exactly.
Love the graphics! Game is p simple and really easy (I kind of just walked in the same direction forever and the enemies couldn't catch up to me) but this is a funny way to take the theme haha!
Oh yeah! I should have included that in the How To Play section but the small paths that are only available for the player to use are just there to make traversal easier, they're not intended for the adventurers. Will make that clearer on this page!
@austin-sierra @ryan-bonadie @alisher-fazilov @stormforged Thanks for all the feedback! I do agree that something like a minimap would have been nice haha, fact is I kind of made the map itself in the last few hours of the jam and only had time to add simple sorta vague indications as to where the next wave would spawn. I'm glad the concept is being enjoyed though!! We'll definitely try to expand it into something fuller someday. As for the character's speed I'm not sure if I'd want them to go tooo fast? I think adding specific places that can teleport you to other spots might be an interesting workaround for that while still keeping the frantic pace. Also yeah, game definitely more variety with towers and such, the dragon picks a tower at random out of the three different types available so getting unlucky makes the issue seem even worse haha.
@hexyvexy Aw that sucks :( I have no idea what causes this bug, it seems pretty inconsistent.
@jimmymcginger @andreadbx @cheesecube @dexort @batisdark @augmotic @dabigduck @blazerdom Thanks for all the feedback! I definitely agree with everything - especially the map - so I think I'm going to rework on some aspects of the game during the weekend and make a much smaller map to post on itch.io to see if I can elevate the concept. I've been considering either specific spots to teleport to make traversal easier while still keeping the hectic pace but I'm not too sure how much that would trivialize the game. Also - agreed on the lack of variety, I'll try to think of new ideas for towers! The RNG is made worse by the fact that there's only three types, but I don't think I want to completely forgo that idea. We'll keep brainstorming.
Thank you all so much for playing though!! I'm very happy we could reach 20 ratings, I'm very proud considering this was my first ever gamejam :D

I actually went ahead and updated the game on Itch! Obviously, the changes are way too significant for this new version to be counted for Ludum Dare (I made sure to specify which version to use for the Jam on the store page, 1.1 is the Ludum Dare version, 1.2 is the new and improved version), but I would still appreciate feedback on the changes I've made if possible; here's the link to the changes. https://anomalous-chicken.itch.io/towers-n-treasure/devlog/527274/12-made-the-game-fun
New version to download should be 1.2 - I'd be happy to receive feedback in the comments of the itch.io page! Thanks again for everything!
Reached the money goal on day 3! I was stuck on the results screen and couldn't press next, so I am assuming there isn't a win screen? Or it's a bug
Either way, lovely game! Definitely reminded me of Papers Please, and I liked the different mechanics that were introduced. The music and sounds are nice and fit well, and there's a very satisfying flow to it all once you get it down. Great job!
The jumping mechanics are pretty interesting, having to use chairs and bubble wraps as jumping pads is kinda funny! Obviously the bubble wrap sounds are nice. I would hagve liked more telegraphs for the weird red circles that kill you though. Pretty neat game!
Very nice!! I like how the movement feels, the acceleration when you start moving in one direction feels really good and the animation for the character looks great. The music does get a bit grating but I really like everything else! Short and charming.
This game looks AMAZING!! It's fun too, but wow it's hard lol
Very simplistic but also pretty addicting! I like that it's not just "go up" without anything else forever - taking pizzas to the post boxes add a nice additional challenge.
Cool little game! The game broke after a bit and nothing happened when I pressed Q, but I still got the concept. Very simple gameplay-wise but it looks really good!
