Verrry beautiful and well executed game of the tower defense genry.
Sad that i can't seem to place the tier 2 towers :)
Great graphics, cool skillz, great execution!
Cool level, I loved the character animations! I'm getting destroyed by the dogs so maybe decrease their damage a bit.
A fun concept, quite addicting to be honest. However the level generation could use some work. Too often you end up with an impossible situation (like a large building with a spike right after it).
Epic music! The game makes my head spin, maybe disable the auto screen scrolling?
Cool concept, quite a hard game (although that might not be a bad thing...) As opposed to Dejvo's opinion, i found the controls-scheme and -feeling quite good. I was a little bit confused at the first level (i didn't immediately realized that i was the black thingy), but that's only a minor issue. Good job!
Nice graphics, the way the buildings fade is very nice. Would have been more fun if the objectives were a bit harder to get to.
Nooooo! This soundtrack was way too catchy! Now i'm stuck with it for the rest of the evening :p
I'm pretty impressed what you managed to get together while using UE for the first time.
I had quite a good time playing this game, keep it up!
Lovely music and a great art style! Also, a nice take on the theme!
Pure epicness! I love this game. A few remarks though: at the start i needed some time to figure out how to escape from my cell. Some explanation about what the effects of the different spells are would also further improve the game. But enough with the criticisms! Excellent visuals, addicting soundtrack, great old-school feeling... This is one of my favourites!!
Does not start on windows 8.1 64-bit
Nice game, but I don't see any connection to the theme.
A clever take on the theme. Beautiful artwork, i liked exploring the different possibilities of getting ready for the day. Very well done!
I like the stealth concept, a nice take on the theme. The visual are appealing, the heavy use of ambient occlusion works. Well done!
Nice solo effort, not a lot of gameplay though.
I really like how you worked out the theme!
Outrageously pretty graphics and a very original concept! You did an awesome job, thanks for making this game :)
I don't think I've ever felt more like a monstrous box in my life. And I'm pretty sure my neighbours think I'm a monster now, so good job!
I can't seem to run this game. It is complaining about missing DLL's
Very nice artwork. At first i thought the crackling noisy sounds were strange, but at the end, it all fitted together... Well done!
Loved the graphics, this is a really nice-looking game! It took me some time to figure out how to get to the end, but i quite enjoyed it. Keep up the good work :)
Hilarious entry. Nice pixel art, and a great mood. Bit lacking gameplay wise, but that didn't matter since it was short (the short duration was a good decision).
Pretty sweet artwork and a very catchy tune! I especially like the way the monster is animated. Nice game overall!
I quite like this game, nice visual style. The soundtrack definitely adds to it. Good job!
Neat graphics! I wasn't sure how to aim properly, the crosshair doesn't seem accurate.
I really like the monster animation! Great soundtrack, really gives this game some old-school sweetness :) Well done!
Monster trucks... BOOM explosions, WHOOOHOOO! Why didn't i think of that? Awesome entry :)
Those monsters are really cute! I live how their thoughts are displayed, had some chuckles there :) A catchy sound track would make this game even better. Good job!
The undead prevail! I had fun, looks sweet, felt like a monster, good job!
Broken link.
Crazy cows ftw! You did a very good job on the modeling. Had a great time playing this game!
Also tried to download and play, but you forgot to add the game data folder.
Tried it again, this time it worked.
Got a huge grin on my face the whole time i was playing :D
Really enjoyed it, thanks for making this game!
The introduction story drawing are extremely nice!
The introduction story drawings are extremely nice!
I really loved the intro movie and the 3d part is also very visually pleasing. However, they don't really work together well (i think you should have stuck with one or the other). Anyway, i had quite some fun playing the game ;)
I like the setting, the visuals work. The movement controls could use some work though. Quite a challenging game, i liked it!
Quite a beautiful game, very polished. Nice soundtrack as well, really sets the mood. I'm especially fan of the lighting effects, great job there!
Nice graphics!
Could you post a windows build? I really would like to play this game, the graphics intrigue me (i'll be checking back in a few days to see if there are any updates...)
First time using Unreal? I'm pretty impressed! Good job and congratz on your first LD entry!
Nice entry, well done! Better sound design would have instantly set the mood. Quite fun(ny) to play!
Nice music and a clean visual style, i like it. Quite a relaxing game to be honest. Good job!
I get a message saying SDL2.dll is missing. Where do i need to put it?
Anyhow, i think your take on the theme is very original :)
Congratz on you first LD!
I like the mood of your game and the graphics are very neat! I liked the puzzle parts as well.
I had difficulty playing it for the following reasons: no azerty support (arrows work but the control scheme is difficult) and the mouse look also didn't move the character. This made navigating the enemies very difficult. Overall good entry!
The controls and camera should be tweaked a little. You're walking blind a lot of times, and walking in general feels a bit clunky. I like how it is not just a "run into people" game. The monster asset is very beautifully made!
Great game. The flashing bugged me a little.
I had a good laugh at some of the expedition logs, they were quite funny! Enjoyed spending some time pimping out my monster. Despite the lack of sound, a very enjoyable entry. Good job!
I feel like a monkey, i look like a monkey and im laugh like a monkey
Very coool!!!
Im getting crashes all the time on windows 8 64-bit. Memory leak?
Waw, Amazing atmosphere! I love how time goes so fast as a plant, it just looks amazing!
Kudos for using your own engine!
Nice idea, but the puzzles are extremely simple, I played the 6 lvls without fully understanding the mechanics.
Looks very pretty, a bit hard on pc though
Nice and polished!
(Android version) Awesome game! Super polished, both the graphics and the sound design. It 'feels' really good on mobile, definitely keeping this game to kill some spare hours on the train :)
aaaaaawwesooome :D
Pretty game! I don't see how it fits in the themes though?
The music and art plays together well to set the mood.
Wow, I'm impressed! This was really immersive and original. If I ever need someone to help out with storywriting i know who to contact ;)
The controls were a bit difficult to understand at start (especially the moving around), but otherwise a very nice game.
Cheers!
I love these kinds of game, very addictive! Nice!
Nice story!
I miiiiiiight have drawn some inapproprate stuff (wops), so sorry about that ;) I'm guessing i'm not the only one though. Very cool concept, nicely done. Cheers!
You have to little control over the character. Maybe it would be more fun if you had more control.
Cool idea with the clay modeling!
A really funny game. The audio and graphics are very polished. Good job!
Cool in concept, but it feel unfinished. I don't seem how the theme fits in, it seems to be the theme from previous LD jam??
It looks good and is fun to play. Nice game.
Smart thing with the timers, but a lot of waiting involved in this game.
Very neat interpretation of the theme, original mechanics and nice graphics!
Polished, fun and level 11 was a bitch, good entry!
I think this game might be more enjoyable with a touchscreen. Nice polished game. A bit of music would be nice.
I can honestly say that I haven't arm wrestled with my computer before this.
Concept is ok. But there are some problems. The descriptions are not always clear and my clicks are not always registered.
Retro strategy, good job! I would try to shorten your explanation part.
Very pretty! It takes alot of effort from the player to understand what is happening, maybe give some more feedback to the player, like company charts?
Very basic, but ok. Keep it up!
Original take on the theme!
Nice ambient, but the two button theme feels very artificial in this game and it could use more gameplay.
It fun to play, but its snake, so maybe It's snake, so, yeaah. But its fun to
I had no idea what was happening, some instructions or feedback would've been nice.
Kudos for trying out Unreal engine. I like that concept, but I feel that it needs some more work.
Respect for doing a game jam in c++!
Love the concept! The controls are a bit unrewarding though.
A nice game, i like the setting. Adding some music/sounds and checkpoints would drastically improve it ;) Cheers!
Retro graphics are cool
Got crashes too. Here's the report (the relevant part of it):
IndexOutOfRangeException: Array index is out of range.
at GrassTile.UpdateGrowth () [0x00000] in <filename unknown>:0
at GrassTile.OnTriggerEnter (UnityEngine.Collider col) [0x00000] in <filename unknown>:0
Hope you manage to fix it, cheers!
Looks neat, I like the soundtrack.
I've balled it twice! Very nice interpretation of the theme, very cool level generation, overall, very cool :)
Original, the monster art is amazing ;)
Quite a nice game, but it's very difficult (maybe a bit too difficult?). I like the art style. The music also quite suits the game. Keep up the good work :)
Cheers!
Fun game. I would have liked a slower level to get started. Very addictive.
Cool idea, but the realisation really needs some work
I was really excited when I saw the starter cards, but besides placing the cards there isn't anything to do but watch?
Basic but fun. Pretty graphics!
Pixel art!
The game works and looks very good and polished, but i found it a bit boring and i had the feeling that i didn't have a lot of control.
Cool ideas, original graphics, sad that the polish didn't get done in the jam version. Good job!
Original!
Hard to play, how does the theme fit in?
It works, some more content would've been nice.
Its kinda hard to see what i'm supposed to do.
Not too bad, i liked the concept. The abrupt white/black changes are a bit hard on the eyes though (maybe do a slight fade instead?).
Keep up the good work, cheers!
Interesting idea, but im not sure the controls really work. I did get dizzy though
Very playable game, overall, very good!
Basic but innovative, good job!
Very pretty and cool concept.
Very pretty game, the audio somewhat destroys the mood though.
Great artwork! Love the music too. I think you really nailed the difficulty. Only remark i have is that the controls are rather unintuitive on azerty-keyboards. Cheers!
It is difficult to click the correct tree if they are close together.
The game would be much more enjoyable if it was narrated. The art and mood of the game is very good.
The sun is setting, and my world is soo preeetttyyy :)
Interesting idea, feels somewhat limited though
Sloooow
Hard controls, could use some more content
Innovative concept, I like the progression. Good job!
Cool interpretation of the theme. Did you make the soundtrack yourself?
I also can't run it. I get the same error as geckojsc
I wonder what inspired you guys :p
Cool interpretation of the theme!
I love the music and artstyle! The audience looks amazing. Defense seems a little bit overpowered tough.
I love the sonar concept!
Moving around with only one button is quite hard. The different kinds of plants to grow are very nice, but there should be a tutorial to get to know them (i forgot what they do by the time the game had started). I enjoyed the graphics and sound design. All in all a good entry.
Congrats on you first jam ;) Cheers!
Not really much to play, but keep at it I would say
Shooting camels is always fun and original, good job!
I played this for a surprisingly long time, it's really addictive. You did a really good job for your first jam!
Cheers :)
A very beautiful game! Does a great job setting at setting an athmosphere. A nice entry!
I was definitely captured by the story, it had two buttons and something was growing, and I saw it through to the end. I can't say that of all games these last few days! I would've given 4 on innovation but its disabled nooo!
Didn't know what to expect... well now i know :) It's hilarious!
Good job guys!
Enjoyable game.
It surprisingly fun to play. You should make losing hp more visual.
Works smoothly. I don't see any of the themes though...
Turns out i'm not a good at this
The game is more enjoyable then i expected. A bit of music would impove it. I liked the message at the end of the game. I played until i got a very good message.
My impression of this game was: "oooooooo" and "oeeeeee". I only wish I would know if i reached the end.
Simple but polished!
We seem to have had a similar idea for this jame ;)
Nice atmosphere, nice concept! Good job :)
I didn't however get how to change the ending.
Nice polished game
Amaaazing amount of content, amazing mood, good to play! Am I supposed to be able to reach the end thingy or is it the ending?
It looks pretty and fun, but i didn't really get how i could position the units to win, and the enemy units all got stuck inside a door after the 2nd wave.
A grandpa eating carrots and turning into a rabbit. Very good entry all round! Loved the musical themes :)
Very pretty game! I did miss a bit of gameplay in this.
Good idea with the core mechanic!
Challenging and nice atmosphere!
I don't get it. I can't move past the first wall, and if I press space while pressing left it seems to glitch out and move the camera right so that the character is out of view.
I dont really get what this is about
Very soothing music, very soothing game.
