Really loved the look of this game, I love the design of the enemies and characters, and the icon as well! The gameplay felt fun overall, though a bit tough when the player is slow and had to go around the whole thing, to then after be more on the other side already. Still, it’s a creative idea and well for the jam!

Developer

Wow.. really grateful for the input and for playing my game. I hope you enjoy the game concept I created. :D

Visuals Were Awesome

Developer

thanks for the compliment and for playing my game!

Wonderful visuals in game and even the icon, really attractive. During gameplay there really isnt any way to protect the towers other sides, not sure how you could fix it: maybe the tower has a half movable barrier and ourguy is trying to protect the open left part or sth like that. also i cant even hit enemys on towers sides without going exactly behind them(cant see projectile after shooting). its really frustrating cuz waves come from all sides and you need to circle at least twice to clean while machine ,which is unfixable, needs to tank. if i said anything wrong, feel free to correct me.  Good luck on your next project!

Really cute tower defense game! I love the upgrades and the fact that you have more than one weapon. I think an important thing to add would be proper strafing animations so that the direction the legs move matches the actual direction you’re moving.

Developer

Yes, that's right. I'll fix the game animations which are still messy. Thank you for your input and for playing my game. :D

So, I really like it a lot. As you asked, here are some notes (just my personal opinion): I would change the sound of the bullets of the first weapon because over time it gets a bit annoying. I’d also add weapon switching with the scroll wheel, which I think feels nice. Maybe, maybe I’d also add a highlight on the equipped weapon in the bottom left where the weapons are displayed. Other than that, I like it a lot!

Developer(+1)

Thank you for your input and suggestions. really helped us. in the future we will improve our game even more... :D

Submitted

Fun game, liked it being a circular board so you had to think about getting to the other side in time before enemies dealt too much damage. I did run into some issues when switching guns where they would either get jammed or the aim would be much further to the right of my cursor.

Developer

Thank you for your input and feedback on my gameplay. We'll fix the gun aim issue in the future, which is still a problem. :D

Submitted

The concept is really original

Developer

Thank you for your comments and for playing my game. :D

A nice tower-defense style game! I like the art style and the wave system, the UI needs some work though -
1) Make the tower hp slider non-interactable (in the editor you can turn off the interactable option)
2) You can't quit the game in the upgrade menu (set the canvas order layer for the pause menu higher than that of the upgrade UI panel)

Apart from that, a tutorial would be helpful for newer players (especially regarding weapon switching); overall good job!

Developer

Oh yeah... I forgot to turn off the slider. The UI menu also seems to be in the wrong order, so it can't be pressed. Thank you very much for your feedback and for playing our game. :D

Submitted

I liked the game, it has really fun gameplay, despite not making the enemies more difficult or offering a variety of behaviors. Lots of potential!

Developer(+1)

thank you so much for playing my games. your game jester i also really like it.. :D

Submitted

Cool game! I liked the graphics and the variety of upgrades. Good job! :D

Developer

thank you so much for playing my game. :D

Submitted

Nice wave shooter, would be cool if you could shoot the corpses. Good upgrades and interesting graphics !

Developer

Thank you for playing my game. ^_~

Submitted

The graphic design choices are great. This gives me Fallout vibes. Great work!

Developer

Thank you for the compliment. It's true, the graphic art is similar to Fallout. Anyway, thanks! :D

Submitted

Pretty good, but the game would feel better if enemy corpses didn't block shots and if object materials were less smooth.

Developer

Thank you for your feedback on my game. We will tweak it further to make the game smoother. :D

Submitted

How do i heal the sphere? Feels like it should heal after each wave, but it doesn't. Stuck in your game for some time, really like it. Good job!

Developer

We haven't implemented the healing system into the core yet. There are still many features we haven't implemented yet. We might implement them in the future to make the game even better. Thank you for playing my game. :D

Submitted

Impressive 3d assets. Visual side is very good. As for the player experience, i couldn't tell if I was shooting or not, sometimes it does, sometimes not? Audio is also quite lacking. Overall good fun, high rating for visual side :)

Developer

Thank you very much for your input. We will improve any shortcomings. :D

Submitted

Top down, round based shooter!!! MY FAVOURITE! I liked the rotation mechanic. The bullet particle effect needed to be a bit more clear because It blended too much with the background. The time for each wave was also a bit too long. But those are small things. Good job though 🤗🤗

Developer(+1)

Yessss.. it's nice to be able to make my favorite people happy with the game I made!! thank you so much for your feedback. :D

Submitted

Played your game! Honestly, the shooting sounds and background music don’t quite match, but I liked the game’s pacing🙂

Developer

Thank you for your feedback. We will improve the sound quality next time. :D

Submitted

This game art style is pretty charming i love it , the sounds of the guns were honestly awful in my opinion , game get repetitive really quickly and there is really only a single enemy which is the robot , when i was playing sometimes i would accidently click a random card because the pop up is very sudden. over all decent game , keep going !

Developer

great! Thank you for your input... in the future we will add several other models to the game. :D

Submitted

This game has a lot of things but I feel like the two other guns fell a little bit useless

and the game does get old really fast

however I love the robot models I think really sick!


Developer(+1)

yeah.. that's very true. in the future I will improve it so that all weapons will be more balanced. thanks for the input! :D

Submitted

Well, look!

  1. We need to solve the problem with the appearance of upgrades. Since I spammed clicks to attack, I often just chose a random upgrade.
  2. I would like a visual display of weapon reloading
  3. For some reason, my weapon fired to the right of the laser.
  4. There are not enough sounds for the robots.

But the game is good! Visual is cool

Developer

Wow! Thank you so much for sharing some things about my game. I will improve some of the feedback in the future. Thanks. :D
