Those suckers run fast!! Really good implementation, I thought it was cool to combine tower defense and resource collection. And the art was fantastic!!

Haha yes! I am so sad I didn't have time to animate them! I am imagining everything flopping around like crazy when they are running. :D
I'm very glad you liked the game idea! I am definitely bringing the idea with me for a future jam so we can expand on the general idea itself!
Thank you for the lovely comment on the art! I am usually doing some basic pixel art-stuff, but felt like trying something new for this one! Figuring out how to do a tileset was a fun experience!
Thank you for trying out the game! I am glad you had fun with it!
Thank you for playing the game! The enemies moving during the gathering phase was intentional to give the player incitement to jump back and forth between the dimensions. We have now been talking about having a little "cam" show up during the gathering phase to easily see where the enemies are and when you have to come back, I hope that would make it easier to determine when it was time to stop gathering and return to buying towers!
I am sorry about the music! We were setting it up so it would be possible to change the volume, but sadly didn't get that far! But will bring it with us for the next jam that we should definitely focus on it! Thank you!
Pretty fun! I like tower defense games though I'm not very strategic with them most of the time. It took me until the second run to realize that I could manually gather stones myself, I thought all I could do was assign workers the first time. That said, even mashing space to get a ton of stones wasn't enough to offset the increase in purchase cost.
Did you know that while the player is holding a turret to place, it actually fires at enemies? This gives you a fully mobile weapon you can bring to any area of the map, the only 'price' for it is that the game is much slower during placement mode. However, even with that I was quickly overwhelmed when the tower prices soared up past 300 and the enemies poured in faster and more resilient each time.

Thanks for trying out the game, and for giving it a second try! Yes, the information regarding what each gathering-thing was doing should've been made more obvious. And also better feedback for the player when something was clicked. Sadly the balancing got a little bit unfair after a while, the idea was to have stronger towers but time escaped us!
Hahaha yes, that bug was uh... Funny... We found it super late and just didn't have time to fix it, we decided to leave it in as a fun gimmick, but if we are fixing things up afterwards it is definitely something we are removing.
Thank you again! I hope you had fun!

Thanks for playing the game and for the nice comment!
Yes, I have to say I am a bit tempted to finish of some things that we were planning for this game. Will see if we end up doing it, but adding the other tower and making the coins actually drop + add the costs for gathering things would be nice to at least get in
Thank you for trying out the game and for the detailed comment! I'm really glad you liked the idea and the choice of music! I agree with the shooting sounds, it would've been nice to maybe have a few different but similar sounds for it. Had a little bit of an issue now with the sounds being so long, and with the high fire rate, the volume became higher because of the amount of bullets. Haha.
Thanks again for trying it out!

Nice score!
The build give a constant +1 to stone, worker gives +2 for a little while, and spamming makes you super rich 🤑
Thanks for trying out the game! I'm glad you had fun with it! We had fun making it!
Sadly we didn't manage to balance the castle in time for the end of the jam, so we ended up disabling it to keep a nice game loop!
The build gives a permanent +1 stone and the worker a temporary+2. The idea was for them to cost gold which the enemies were supposed to drop. We will probably go back and add these two things after end of rating period.
I'm glad you enjoyed the idea, I hope you managed to have some fun with the game! Thanks for trying it out!
Nice score!
Thank you for playing our game, I'm glad you had fun with it! The stone issue is weird, that's not supposed to happen! I'm sorry, I hope it didn't ruin the experience!
Love the idea of the tower change. We initially had another tower which had a similar mechanic, but time got away from us and we didn't have time to balance it out so we decided to remove it. (The button is still in there as a little teaser!) Will hopefully be able to update it after the jam with that tower and coins so it's not free to add workers and buildings to the stones.
Good point about additional placing, it's something I normally miss in similar games!
Thank you again for playing and for the detailed comment!
