Nice game! A fun tower defense game with a really cool art style! I was also really impressed with the wizard battles. Some of them were really hard but it think it is balanced because they offer a great reward! I think it would be helpful if it showed how much money you got for beating them. I like the mechanics of the disposable units vs more permanent ones! I made it to the end and beat 4/8 wizards! The into cutscene was great too! Great work!

Interesting take on a tower defense, especially when you have to fight the wizard. The game plays really well in tower defense mode, but the wizard attack mode was not easy, and I felt the mouse control was unresponsive. I wasn’t able to fire shots all the time, making it difficult to hit the ball. Other than that, I think the game is polished, and fun to play. The music and the art are pleasing. The towers/upgrade are fun and has good variety. Well done.

Puckit!thanks for your feedback! Yes the wizard battles certainly could have used some more time in the oven, and I think I forgot not everyone's mouse's have the same settings as mine, making it potentially much easier or harder. Also sounds like you were trying to shoot single shots, the intended wag is to hold the mouse button for rapid fire :D
Hi!
Withstood all 24 waves, but at the same time not a single unique battle with the sorcerer, and did not understand how to fight him :).
It would be nice to be able to mute/unmute the sound as well.
Unfortunately, I did not really understand how the game corresponds to the theme of the contest, but I had fun, congratulations!

Steampunk 2024As an enjoyer of both the TD and bullet hell genres, this tickled all the right spots. I had lots of fun getting massively overpowered, but still having some challenges to look forward to with the wizard battles. Perhaps it would have been nice to be able to use excess power to make battles a bit easier? Art style was very nostalgic, would've appreciated a bit more idle music. All in all, a very solid submission!

Power LiftingGood ideas, good excecution. Love the animations. Could do with a bit of polish, but generally good job!

SquirtcopterReally, really, incredibly good. Probably my favourite entry in this jam so far. I was always on the verge of losing, as a result I was really invested in winning the boss battles every few rounds. My only suggestion would be to make the icons a bit clearer, maybe the mana producer should have had beaker icon or something as I kept getting mixed up between that and the building that slows knights down. 10/10 would play again.

PowerLess HotelPretty sick tower defense game, I like the graphics and the bullet hell part. I found a glitch where after firing the laser the audio kept playing endlessly

PUCK IT UPFor me one of the best in this jam! The C64 vibes are suuuper strong! At first a tower defense and then...the mage approach and BOOM! Bullet hell! Loved it! Great work!
