How does the game fit the theme?
Nothing can go wrong... don't make a single mistake, or that's it! Placing traps into an arena and using yourself as bait to lure killer robots into them? ... sounds like a perfect plan!

What code and assets did you not make from scratch during the jam (if any)?
Some shop code and the main menu + pause menu were borrowed from an older project and modified to fit the game. Fonts were from the 100% free category of dafont.com

Really great new game idea. It is pretty addictive trying to strategically place the traps thinking about not making it too deadly for my self but killing many enemies. Also the traps felt pretty balanced for a fucking game jam game. Did you do playtesting for that? And the visual cues for when a trap is about to shot/explode are very readable and intuitive. On top of that the artstyle is clean and good looking and you have nice sounds and music. If you want to develop the game further I could imagine different enemy types for example faster, slower or shooting enemies. More traps is obvious or even upgrades for existing traps. And maybe different maps. But I have to say this is a masterclass in gamedesign :)

It is a very polished game, I really like the UI, so cyberpunk. Apart from that, it is innovative, combing top down shooter mechanics with strategy ones. I like it.

Wow! The visuals are clean and fun, the gameplay is simple yet not too repetitive, and I have to say, I got a bit hooked.

The fact of having the player triggering the traps to kill the enemies was a really interesting idea !

This game is amazing! I love the artstyle and music. The gameplay is very challenging and addicting, and the game is really polished! Figuring out the trap placements while avoiding the enemies was really fun! Good job, this game is great!
