How does your game fit the theme?
It's a tower defense game where you prepare for a storm.
Did you write all the code and made all the assets from scratch?
No I used these assets:
https://goglilol.itch.io/cute-knight (sprites for knight, bat, snake and also used as a base for other)
https://arcade.itch.io/1980
https://datagoblin.itch.io/monogram

Needs more clarity on how the mechanics work, particularly how you get money passively with those coin-headed frogs, but it's pretty fun! Could also earn money by killing enemies.
it was fun to play! got a bit easy if you just buy the gold goofers in the start :P
I didn't understand that you NEEDED a merchant to get any money at first, would be nice if killing enemies gave some money so you dont need to start with merchants to get any money, but really nice and polished game
The game is very simple but I think that's what makes it enjoyable. Gameplaywise all of the necessary elements are there, although it would've been nice to know how are the goofballs comparable in damage. I did not know that Hitter > Wizard 0_0
The difficulty is just right for a jam game and the time capped at 3 or so minutes feels enough to show everything it has to offer. (btw I'm still in endless as I'm writing this 11+ minutes and it shows no signs of breaking my offensive defense!)
One small nitpick as an artist. When the coin spins the shading spins with it as if light source is rotating around it.
Over a neat little game. I like it!
Edit: I died at 84:23 by an enemy that somehow flew above all of my goofballs! I wasn't looking to know how and around the 30 minute mark it started lagging which worsened near the end
thank you!! I really appreciate tips and staying till the end of endless mode!!
I admit there are many bits to make a great strategy game such as info/stats/tower (?) popup that displays specific info about units.
I'll make sure to improve and do better on these stuff on my next gamejams! thanks once again!
This was surprisingly fun for how simple it was! The pixel art is fantastic. The grid system worked very well without too much jank, the perks were fun, and overall I think this would be a great base to add more twists too to develop into a full TD game.
Nice cute graphics, vfx and animations are well made good job
Very good TD, the random perks add a good twist to the game !
This game is absolutely brilliant! Every moment feels thoughtfully crafted, and it’s clear you’ve put in a ton of work to make it this amazing!
Good plant vs zombies clone. Think there needs to be a little rebalancing but good still a fun game.
Really cute game! I Love the character designs. I think there's an issue with the balancing since I couldn't regain any money from kills (meaning once my 5 knights went down, I couldn't do anything) but I wish it did work because the roguelike upgrades sound really exciting
Edit: Nevermind, I got that the frog merchant gives money! makes for a pretty hectic and fun game. I couldn't counter the flying lil' baloon guy for some reason even with wizards and batters but oh well. Enjoyed it a lot regardless!!
The game is fun!
The characters are so cute
I'm looking forward to the future
Took me too long to figure the merchant is the sunflower lol. With the perk system its almost like a roguelike, which is a pretty interesting twist to the pvz formula and could be explored further. Overall it gets really chaotic really soon (in a good way), i just hate the spider flying (?) enemy who went past 4 rows somehow
Honestly, I had a great time. I learned a lot about each of the four characters and the different enemy types. I thought the characters were balanced well and the little perk system was neat. Overall, was fun O:!
wow the game is great i cant believe its made in just a week
As a person who LOVES PvZ, I really enjoyed this one, I know some of the assets aren't yours but overall I had a really fun time playing the game.
