Haven't played one of these since Warcraft 2, big nostalgia hit! Well done, especially considering the time constraints!

Submitted

Very fun to play, though maybe a bit too simple. The are no decisions to make other that purchasing everything, and I never found a reason to upgrade the villagers.

Overall pretty good and enjoyable!

Submitted

SOLID! That's what I like in tower defense. Pure mechanics! Simple concept and it worked perrfectly! I enjoyed upgrading my towers and also seeing that forest is being cut down was a nice add on for the game.

Well made game design of the trees, wood gathering gets slower, although it's impact is barely noticeable because of how slow you get gold in the early game.

100 percent upgrades btw

Developer

Thanks for the review! I definitely need to tweak the balancing and pacing to get it just right,

really cute :)

Developer

Thank you!

Nice simple tower defense!

Developer

Thanks!

I really like this game, it's really relaxing and I would like to see a little more sound effects.

Developer

Thanks! And I agree, I should have spent more time on it and I could have added more!

Submitted(+1)

Great game! I had fun with it, just at the end the waves were taking waaay too long, and I had already spent all the wood in the map so I was just staring at the screen waiting for it to end. But great job! :D

Developer

Yeah that's a know issue lol. I finished making it at like 4 AM so I was exhausted and out of time so I didn't test the later levels at all. After the jam I'll fix all of that stuff!

Thanks for playing!

Really fun game, I restarted it a couple of times trying to make the perfect strategy, I saw that others already talked about the lack of trees, and that was the reason I got stuck on the 12 wave: To much gold, to little logs, also when you lose it just get stuck on the same screen, maybe add something saying that we lost, but besides that it was a fun game, really kept me entertained, loved it :)

Developer

Hey thanks a lot! Glad you enjoyed it so much. Yeah the end game screen exists but there's a bug that makes it not show up after the first few waves once you lose. 


Once this game jam has concluded I'll make sure to rebalance everything and make more levels/enemies!

Submitted

I'll be looking forward to it :)

Submitted(+1)

Loved it! It's a nice tower defence game! Maybe add like a gold mine, I had to wait like 5 minutes to get enough gold for the next tower/upgrade. Maybe a regroving seeds, like an NPC who would plant those tree back

Developer

Thank you for playing and for the suggestions! I agree with you. Having more trees/the ability to grow them would go a long way.

Submitted(+1)

I mostly enjoyed this game, I wish there was enough wood to upgrade all the towers to the max. I got stuck on wave 11, the next wave didn't start and a game over screen never showed up. I think trees growing back or more resources to gather would make the workers more valuable.

Developer

Thanks for the feedback! Yes I agree, if I could change anything it would be to add a lot more trees to match the amount needed for all towers. And yes it is a know bug that the game over screen only works for the first few waves for some reason.
Thanks for playing!

I played twice before realizing that I shouldn't upgrade anything until all towers were built. During my first playthrough, I felt the upgrade buttons were very tempting to press, but pressing one even once led to game over. Overall, the game was fun and I liked it.

Developer

Thanks for playing! It was meant to be a balancing act between upgrading the workers and towers. Ran out of time to do proper balancing unfortunately! I appreciate the review!

Submitted(+1)

Hello! the game was very fun, but it felt like that to win you only needed to upgrade the first 3 towers and thats it, also when you ran out of wood(no more trees), the game becomes really boring, because you cant do anything but watch, wave 10 is where for me the game started to get boring becuase, wave 10 was just slimes, also after the 600 gold tower upgrade it says that with 700 gold you should be able to upgrade, but i could not upgrade any longer, even if i had the necesary logs, but overall, very cool and fun game

Developer

Thanks for playing! Yeah there were some huge balancing issues I didn't have time to test, namely the wood running out. If I had more time now I would add a lot more trees, and fix the bugs like the final tower upgrade saying it can be upgraded again. Appreciate the feedback!

Submitted(+1)

I liked the idea! I did have a bug on wave 4 that caused it to hang and not continue.

Developer

Sorry to hear that! I know that around wave 4 the endgame condition breaks so if you let an enemy reach the end (which is supposed to cause the "you lose" screen to pop up) it just sits there endlessly. 

Submitted(+1)

Love tower defense genre! Surprisingly the first tower defense I've played this jam. Great job!

Developer

Thank you very much! I appreciate it!

Submitted

The deforestation was fun but I ran out of forest by wave 10, the final 5 waves are very long and boring because I can't do anything now. The music is whatever and the artwork is generic.

Should've ended at wave 10, it was pretty ok up to that point.

Developer

Yeah I ran out of time for testing the end game.. I thought about only doing 10 but feared it wouldn't be challenging enough. Thanks for playing anyway!

Submitted(+1)

Really enjoyable. Died at wave 8. Noticed there was no lose condition/screen (I also forgot to do it)

Developer(+1)

Thanks for playing! That's strange--the lose screen shows up for me, but I only tested on wave 1... Maybe it breaks on subsequent waves. It was just a basic "You lose" with a retry button though, nothing fancy.

Submitted(+1)

Nice Game!

The artwork is very fitting, but the game is a bit boring at times as the difficulty curve doesn´t seem to be very steep.

Maybe add some extra function to the workers after they are done cutting all the trees?

Still, I liked it, keep up the good work :D

Developer

Thanks! Yeah I pushed the development up against the deadline so I didn't have time to balance the pace or difficulty. lol I literally haven't even beaten it because I didn't have time. Thanks for playing!

I think this version might be bugged. It wasn't possible to gain any gold. I think it should by killing the monsters.

It didn't worked on my end. But I liked the graphics, the music and I like tower defense in general.

Ty

Developer

Thanks for trying the game! Unfortunately yes, this was a bugged version. But I fixed it! If you'd like to give it another try that would be awesome! I'll play your game too!
