I like the style! It has a great look and feel. The first time I tried to play it crashed for me almost immediately - as soon as the game started I pressed J and it popped up with an exception and froze.
Hilarious idea and I like the minimal pixel art! Balancing the boat is an interesting mechanic and the feel of pushing off the large weights is satisfying.
Nice tight platforming with a good use of the theme. The puzzles were well done. The ghost was funny! Only comment is sometimes it was hard to tell if I *wasn't supposed* to be able to make the jump because I hadn't solved the puzzle correctly or if I was just not making the jump.
Love the art style and the animations. It did ramp up way to quick. Overall a neat idea and well executed.
Awesome game! Very fun to play, it feels great and is a great take on the theme. I like the art style, it's pixel but very animated. Even the enemies are pretty unique and fun, acorn shooting squirrel, jumping fox, snapping crocodile. Only comment is I kind of wish the birds followed you closer and maybe you had a faster drop time, but that's all probably part of the charm!
At first I did not know what was happening - that the balls were going in the containers on the side. You could possibly change the angle of the camera to point down a little? Its hard to control but I do think it fits the theme.
Surprisingly challenging! And I like the art style!
I liked it! The controls felt super nice. If anything it was too easy. Maybe ramp it up at some point?
Pretty cool! Interesting little idea that fits the theme! I wasn't sure if the game ended (like went into an infinite mode or if I was on a level). Also I didn't understand why I died the first few times and what the game even was, but then it clicked, and it is neat!
Thanks for the feedback @mrnyarlathotep and @smogen! I just made another build with your suggestions - I tried slowing down the camera spin time. I added something beneath you (it's an odd circle thing) just to give you some reference and shadows.
@smogen I do not have any issue playing it in Firefox on Windows 10, which version of Firefox are you using?
@seththefirst if a guy dies you have to go get him again, and there are markers you have to pick up to spawn the next platform. The spinning numbers are how many guys you need to have to unlock.
@gulyasarni66 the star is the end game, so i think you beat it? or you got it without getting a big squad first?
Really cool idea: a platforming tower defense game where your health is how you place towers is very interesting. The art looks great! I do have a few issues with the execution: the health/energy is very hard to see and I didn't even realize it was there for a while. I had no idea what the towers cost - I just guessed and spammed until I figured it out. Sometimes the guys would stop chasing me and hover frozen in one area and since I have no health I can't place a new tower so I have to restart. The platforming doesn't feel great.
