I made it! But I feel like the wizards were actually stronger separate, haha. The first level made me think the game was unwinnable at first, until I read the other comments and then came back and just took the hit.

This was a fun game and the first tower defense that I have seen! Using other mages to buff each other was a very interesting concept that works with the theme very well and could be a very interesting idea in the entire tower defense genre.

I think you should have made the first level the second level, because i think the second level is easier, making the player have enough money to buy more mages to defeat the enemies and maybe make the first enemies of the first level have less health so is easier to deal with, but other than that, the game is pretty good being a game jam with 7 days of development, thumbs up!

I thought I don't like tower defence games, but actually reached level 14 and proud :) Cute visuals and fun game, great job!

Nice game enjoyed it but you really need a speed up button.

and also rating is appreciated.

Submitted

i really like tower defense games and this was a good one, i wish there is a button for speeding the game up. if you miss one enemy, it will take a long time to end the level. beside that very nice game, congrats

Rated, If you can play my game and rate it, i will be very glad

Cool game! I love the idea of tower price increasing after buying it. It encourages variety.

I got wrecked though.. haha. I couldn't make it past the 2nd level.

Come get similarly wrecked in my game.. the boss is really hard :D I'd appreciate it if you could play and rate it :)

It is cool that we both have TD games, but it is uncanny that we have such similar base game ideas. Although I do have some issues with the game. While the sprites, animations and actually properly working sound was nice, I felt like the game could do with some balancing because, as far as I know, it is impossible not to leak the first wave. I also have some gripes with the earth and fire types being quite visually similar e.g. the enemies in the first 2 waves looked like brownies, but one was overcooked. Overall, quite nice, but could use some polishing and balancing.

Submitted

Nice and simple, good animations and I found it is very satisfying listen to the attack sound effects.

Some instructions would make it better.

Love TDs. I may have liked to have a description on each turret somehow. Did not got to understand what brown mage did :). Great job either way.

Selecting a tower in the shop menu or on the field shows their description in the lower right

The earth mage improves the range of adjacent towers!

Very interesting mechanic.

A game with charming design! The affinity triangle was a creative way to execute the "Stronger Together" theme.

Submitted

I found the game to somewhat fun but mostly I could not enjoy it. 

Why was it that you couldnt enjoy it?

Submitted

The enemies did not have health bars, there is no clear insturctions.

Submitted

It is fun but the ennemies could have been drawn better. Also, can you add health bars? 

Submitted

A little hard to get into, but fun if you figured it out! There is great potential to this game!

Submitted

I really like the GameDesign and the fellings of freedom to approach the game. Audio is very nice with the game. I will like better Direction artistique, in particular for background.

Once I got over the initial speed bump of the difficulty and understood what the game was going for, this really revealed an amazing game. Despite there being so few mechanics, each of them integrate near perfectly with each other and reveals a surprising amount of depth and complexity without it ever feeling out of place. What makes it even better is the way that this complexity doesn't feel unwarranted, more creating more layers of strategy rather than complexity for complexity's sake. The way this core mechanic ties so seamlessly into the theme is also really awesome. Main thing I wish for is some way to restart or fast forward the game to make certain parts feel less slow paced and tedious, but that's really a small detail. I also wish that there was some way to know what sort of enemies were what, because I found the distinction between fire and earth enemies a bit difficult to make. This is a solid foundation for a game that could be expanded further in the future, but for what it is, this is genuinely extremely cool and I'd love to see more in the future :)

Great game ! I was puzzled by the difficulty at first, but once i managed to reach level 2 (after a few more tries than i'm proud to admit), I really got what the game has to offer. I HIGHLY encourage everyone to try it out for themselves, as it has great potential for a tower defense game :)

The principle of the game is very interesting and innovative. I really like the possibilities that the game leaves to the players. The Sound Design is totally in line with the game. I could spend hours on this game. 

Congratulations.
