A good game. Everything works, the player controller was really good and the machanics. The wind up just took too long, I was only running from turret to turret to wind up and couldnt even use my weapon.

Good game. I liked it. Just a few improvements, there should be some more variety in the turrets and just reduce the motion blur. Apart from that awesome job.

Could you please take the time to rate my game too? It would mean a lot to me.

Played your game in this video here at 00:31:05. Didn't get my audio settings quite right so my feedback is a bit, quiet, but hopefully it's still helpful feedback.

It was fun game with nice and working mechanics. Only problem was everything was so slow and i wanted speedup button so badly.

The game idea is really cool and I liked the windup mechanic matching the theme. I thought the time between rounds was too quick and I didn't like having to go back to the computer to buy 1 turret, walk all the way to the front and have to walk all the way back again. It felt like I was rushing around frantically and didn't have much time to enjoy the game. You've done a really good job with the game though and I think its got some real potential. Great work!

Very fun! I loved the design and the gameplay a lot!!!

Unfortunately, I got stuck in the UI. While in the upgrade screen I pressed Esc, pressed No to not quit, and somehow got stuck in the upgrade screen with no way to get out. Hope you will fix this!

I think you could have a shot at winning! Hope you enjoyed making this and good luck! ^^

Quite fun! Great twist on tower defense coupled with the theme. I think I've spent the most time on your game out of all I've tried so far. Not sure if it's intentional, but if not there is a bit of a cheat in that multiple turrets can be wound concurrently if they're all close together.  Helped with "turret management".

Super fun game, spent hours on this and....IM ADDICTED, CANT STOP, HELP ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Jokes aside, love the cute graphics, music and sound effects are super nice. I'm always a fan of tower defense game so i really have no complaints about the gameplay. Altho it was a big laggy to play, i think it's probably because of my crappy laptop idk :/

Fun game! I was able to beat it once I realized you could rewind multiple turrets by placing them close to one another.

Submitted(+1)

Neat game, I kind of wished that I could have more time to change things, but that was mainly because it was so laggy.

Good game though!

Great Game feels like a fully flushed out game almost, I had a really fun time playing. the only things that seemed off  were that there seemed to be weird progression in the enemy waves, cycling between really hard and really easy too often and the controls for the different tools seemed to be a bit confusing to use, i would try to wind with left click because that's how you upgrade but end up picking up a turret.

Cool game, need some balancing I think :) I din't get it from the start that you could upgrade.

I liked it! Very cool game!

Thanks for the kind words!

It was kind of hard to get past the first rounds, the enemies are quite strong and your weapon barely inflicts any damage, but I guess that the point is that the game is quite hard, which is really cool!

The only thing I would change is the motion blur, which can be quite distracting sometimes.

Thanks for playing, and glad you enjoyed it!

Took me a while to find out that computer gives you turrets. Overall a very atmospheric and enjoyable experience.

Developer

Thanks for playing! We're glad you enjoyed it!

Pretty cool game I got up to wave 16 but I called it there with 8 turrets they weren't even coming out of spawn but I think with more refinement this is something pretty great on the lines of sanctum.
The plunger gun wasn't very good though except from at the starting rounds to get some extra cash for upgrades. I don't know if it was intentional but if you clump turrets together you can rewind multiple at the same time I managed to get 4 turrets at once but it made it far easier than spreading them out.

Developer

I'm glad you liked the game! I feel some of the bugs as due to rushing, plus the multiple turret wind-up was not intentional but still funny that the player can do that.

Enjoyable and I like that you need to rewind your turrets to keep them active but there weren't many turrets to play around with and the motion blur was way too much in my opinion.

Developer

I'm glad you found it enjoyable! Thank you for your feedback!
