You can't let anything go wrong. You need to balance keeping the doors repaired and fighting for upgrades. If you mess up you and your people are dead.

That's a cool game ! It may needs some polish, the inverse kinematics animation is neat but I had some bugs with it

Keep up the good work !

Interesting concept, didn’t see that many tower defense games based on character upgrade instead of building towers since Warcraft 3 maps.

Game needs a lot of polishing. I got 2 game-breaking bugs: Credits cover X button, so you cant go back to menu. And when opened upgrade table, didnt find way to close it, so just walked away. Update window closed, but i was no longer able to open it back.

But, in my book unpolished idea is better then polished bland game.

This is a solid little base defense game! I wish there was some feedback for when I lost health or some way to track how many people I was protecting were left, but the core loop and stakes are established and clear. Nice job! :D
