How does the game fit the theme?
A chill and relaxing tower defense game where resources are easily obtainable, making defense feel effortless and almost like a leisure job, requiring little strategy. On top of that, the player has full control over defining the enemy's path. So, what could possibly go wrong…?

What code and assets did you not make from scratch during the jam (if any)?
I built the game from scratch, brick by brick
Except for the SFX, which are mixed from freesound.org and Jsfxr

very interesting features, of creating the path and you have to survive your own defense, really fun!

Submitted

I really enjoyed this game, haven't seen a tower defense game where you place down your own path

Submitted

It's a very cool game! I just didn't understand why we needed to blow up our turrets :)

Submitted

cool game .really like the art and concept!

ok, this was really good. clever too. i started to get the idea and was hooked. do i shoot my own turrets? do i run? do i hide? balance was not easy. the theme actually works. i think it's one of the best i've rated so far. well done. one person too! will come back to play more.

What a great, great idea! At first, I was like "wtf is this, this doesn't belong to the jam, where is the theme?" and then you got me hard xD. 

The concept is amazing, and the more I played, the more I learned about the mechanics and subtilities of the game, it felt amazing. The planning of my first and my last games where COMPLETELY different and went through a lot of iterations because of all the little things I learned. The fact that turret have unlimited range, but friendly fire, the fact that you cannot just hide behind debris, the fact that hearts stay between runs... All these little mecanics create DEPTH to your game, and heavily influence your thinking. Playing felt good and rewarding. Something that felt a bit unfair sometimes was that turret seemed to shoot on whoever the wanted. Usually, on TD games, the turrets always go for the enemy that is the furthest on the path, but here, I don't really know, and they sometimes tried to shoot an enemy behind another tower instead of somebody that is going to reach the end ^^'. But that's just a nitpick, the game design is awesome ^^

The graphics are really cute and I loved the little details like the particles when you place a path. The visuals are clear and pleasing without feeling overwhelming whene there are a lot of enemies on screen.

The sound is nice ^^. Every action have a sound, and the music is enjoyable. I would have really enjoyed of the music changed during the swap, tu put more emphasis on the change, but overall, the sound design if nicely done!

So overall... That's a great game! A cool concept with a nice execution! Congratulations =)

Nice survival concept. Reminds me of "Meet Your Maker" FPS game where you build defenses and then test them.

The hand drawn style is also cool but the laser icon looks like sounding lmao

I wonder if the goal tile looking like amogus was on purpose

good game

Good game, well done, I like when you had to survive that was a cool feature.

hi! played and rated it!

Very cool - great job! Nice "what could go wrong" twist! However I needed a few tries to fully understand the game ^^

Keep it up!

Good job building the game by yourself! A little hard but still fun to play. Interesting concept

Submitted(+1)

I like the twist where you have to survive yourself, allowing you to destroy your own turrets. I also like the turrets that can hurt other turrets, which makes for interesting design when creating a path. I would like to be able to speed up the mob rounds though.

Game is really cool but no upgrades is making the game kinda worse. Turrets damaging each other is also making the game harder by a lot. The game is enjoyable tho! keep it up. Also u could add some music!
