I really liked the mechanic that you didn't instantly lose lives when the ants reached your picnic basket but instead had to chase them down and reclaim the cookies. Got stuck at wave 5 when no more ants would spawn and the game wouldn't proceed to wave 6. Is there anything else to do with the coins after the initial 4 towers are built?
ouuuhhh the concept is fun ! the "science noises" where PERFECT XD thanks for that haha ! I was stuck at wave 3 with no more ants coming but the game was really fun to play !! love it (especially the ant with guns xD)! and great music too ! (for someone with easy motion sickness this one was smooth to play !! great job)
Pros:
- Fun intro with animation
- Story and lore
- Animated characters
- Solid gameplay loop of protecting biscuits from stealers
- Purchaseable upgrades, like towers
- Recognizable Tower Defence genre
- Music and sounds
- Beautiful models and level design
- Theme is directly involved into game
Cons:
- Poor optimization, I got 1 FPS at 640x480px. I had to look into ground to get more FPS. I could help in that, but I was too busy in my project, which became much less finished.
- Lack of colliders where needed. Camera can look into things. Possible to fall outside map.
- Bugs, like not spawning ants, crashes
- No settings
Good job guys! Love the cute intro. Plays similar to Thornefall, but in 3rd person.
If you add some more upgrades for towers and also for the player(stats, weapon), I could image this to be a cool steam game. Maybe the ants should also be able to attack the player (so you can pull aggro and have to manage health).
It is a little bit buggy. For example, the cursor doesn't always stay on the game screen and goes in the browser. Other than that, I think it fits the theme pretty alright.
Hey! I almost skipped this game and I'm glad I didn't. The game was fun and I enjoyed a lot. Keep up the good work!
By the way, I noticed a bug (pun intended) where on wave 5 there's a ton of ants to fight, but from wave 6-11 there was no ants at all. I also noticed this weird ant stack which I had to find. I initially thought they were a new enemy type but now I think it might be the ants that was supposed to come at later waves. Apart from that, still a fun game, best of luck!
The story/intro cutscene was pretty funny. But I wish there was more to do with the money once I bought all the turrets.
