There are a lot of questions, like why do I need a hammer, why can't I skip waves, why am I always on top of the building? But the game is really nice, it's literally one of my favourite games, so I liked it! The graphics and sound are cool too! I like this part when I don't have to defend and all my turrets are doing all the work :) Well done!

How does the game fit the theme?
Flawless Fortress offers a sense of “flawless” defense strategy, where the player eventually feels like they cannot lose. Ensuring that nothing can go wrong as long as they make the right choices. This could create a satisfying experience where the player's foresight and decision-making lead to a unbeatable defense.
The game is infinite. If you play long enough, nothing can go wrong.
What code and assets did you not make from scratch during the jam (if any)?
The wave manager script was not made by scratch. Most of the art was purchased on itch, but some assets were hand crafted. The music is from Splice.com and a public assets list will be added to the game page soon.

I played a bit more and I think you should balance the difficulty. So that's one thing that makes games successful and keeps players engaged - a good curve of difficulty. For example, do the hard wave every 10 waves. It will be hard to defend against it, but the player will be rewarded with a new cool turret. And maybe add a goal to keep the player engaged, because it feels like the game gets boring after 20 waves.
First of all, this is the longest I’ve played a game in this jam! Are you a genius designer or a wizard? I couldn’t stop playing! Turning a basic tower defense into an addictive idle game was a brilliant twist. I couldn’t resist filling every slot with turrets—watching the cash stack up is weirdly addictive. I don’t even know when to quit!

Thanks for the feedback! I’ll look into ways to keep the challenge going longer while maintaining the fun. Glad you enjoyed the experience! I completely blanked on making a collider for outside the camera. I'll definitely add that!
