Good tower defense game,  I wish the store UI was a bit more obvious (I took me a little while to find it). Other than that great little game with nice particles. Good job!

Submitted

Great game! liked the sound effects and game-play! Great Job!

Submitted

Great game. I really like the particle effects, the sound effects, the music, the gameplay. Only thing is I didn't really understand how it relates to the theme

Developer

For everyone interested: I uploaded an updated version of Heatblast, where i went over the amazing feedback i got from you!
> Heatblastv2

Important:  I still want you to comment things about the jam submission! Every feedback is highly appreciated!
Thanks for playing :D

The tower defence looks great, but I have some difficulties to create my units. I think that the foreground of the first level blocks the click of the bottom of tile. It's a little too easy because we can produce as much tower as we want. Other than that, the visuals is great (too shiny perhaps), there is an ambiance even if the enemies do not fit very well with the rest. Some contrast for towers will be welcomed. Though great job.

Developer

Thanks for the feedback!

Simple game with really easy controls and nice aesthetics but perhaps a bit overdone with the particle effects made everything look like it blended together. One thing I would say is that the "factory" and "core" are too similar and I kept clicking on the "core" to generate my units and was confused when it did not work. Finally, when I clicked on what I thought was a special tile I was able to start creating units. From there, it was a smooth ride.

Developer

Thanks for the feedback and for playing! :D

good game, but perhaps needs a better UI.

Developer

Thanks for playing!
What would you improve about the UI? :P

Submitted

don't get me wrong it actually looks nice but sometimes the menus feel a bit weird when you open a few of them at the same time. It's just a preference, but the game is actually so fun.

And I'm sorry I didn't give a detailed feedback earlier, I was in a rush. Keep up the good work!

Developer

Ah yes. I also noticed this behaviour :/
I will (hopefully tomorrow) upload an updated version of the game where i fixed this issue.. :D
Thanks for the feedback!

This was a good tower defense game. I struggled to see how the theme fit, but I made some assumptions of how it could have fit. The tower defense mechanics were setup fairly well except for the explanation of how to place turrets. The visuals were very appealing to the eye and unique, however the environment and what was important blended in to each other making it somewhat difficult to differentiate everything. This was a fun experience overall! I streamed it here:

Thanks for the feedback and for playing! :D

Very cool game! I like the visuals and the sound design, the particles feel very satisfying too.

I'm not sure about the connection to the them though

Keep it up!

Developer

Glad you like it! :D

Submitted

Nice Game, I love the cool graphic. I would love It if you would play my game.

Developer

Thanks!

Submitted

Really nice graphics, not sure how it fits the less is more theme tho

Thanks for playing!
I thought  of the theme in limiting the player in tiles on which you can place towers. I already got some feedback and i agree this is not very obvious in the game :/
I will upload another version where i try to fix that and go over some other feedback.
Hopefully it will be more clear then :D

Submitted

superb graphics, definitely will play more 

Developer

Thanks for playing! :D

I commented your game in this stream around 12:00-32:00. 

Developer(+1)

Thanks for that and the feedback! :D

Submitted

Great job! You really created an atmosphere around the level with the lights and particles

Developer

Thanks! :D

I like this. It feels really polished and I like the art. It wasn't too difficult and I would have loved more levels. I'm not sure how it fit into the theme, though.

Developer(+1)

Glad you like it!
I thought of the theme as limiting the player in space to place the towers. I know this isnt very obvious..
I plan on uploading another version of the game, going over all the feedback (and with more levels :P)

Awesome! Can't wait to give that new version a play

Submitted

cool towerdefence game i like the art

Developer

Thank you! :D

nice visuals

Developer

Glad you like it!

Nice tower defense! The graphics on the map and towers and effects were really nice. I also really liked the sound effects. It was a little confusing at first trying to figure out how to add more buildings, and on the first level the new building button would need a few clicks before it worked. The sound effects and particles made this game pretty satisfying though!

Thanks for playing!
Yes i noticed that behaviour with the tower factory and some other objects. i will look into why that is so :D

Submitted

Very fun! Although next time you might want to highlight the important parts of your game with the visuals (they blended in with the other stuff, so it was kidna hard to tell what was important and what wasnt). Other than that, I enjoyed it!

Developer(+1)

Thanks for playing! :D

Submitted

Had some trouble to find out how to buy stuff, too. But love the graphics  and there aren't such things as "too many particles" :D

Developer

Glad you liked it! Agree on the particles ^^
Thanks for playing  :D
