Visually, the game is a bomb! Really appealing. The game mechanics are also well implemented!

Developer

Thanks man! I appreciate it!

the art was inanely good for something made in a few days, although the upgrade system could definitely be more clear. Sorry if i’m just repeating what everybody else said, really good game. Can’t wait to see a full release!

Developer

Really appreciate the feedback, working hard to get the upgrade system all polished and working as we speak

Loved the artstyle. Had good fun with the cookie-clicker style of game. Nice to see the engineers automatically build up the tower.

Clean art. Fun clicker-building mechanic. What else? Had a lot of fun playing this game.

Thanks!! So glad to hear it!

Cool clicker game! I built my tower higher than I probably should have lol, it's fun to buy a bunch of engineers and watch it build new levels on every building tick for a bit. The art is incredible, really nice work on that. I'd absolutely play more of this once you expand on it, I love idle games.

Developer

Thank you so much man, it seriously means a lot to me. I can't wait to reveal all the new mechanics and cool animations that are being polished rn.

Marvellous art, but game is literally half-baked. Tower gets higher, money keep flowing, sections can be upgraded, but half of the upgrades do nothing or just make section not to give any income, if upgraded enough times multiplier goes into negatives. Unfortunatelly gameplay is not enjoyable, but there is a feeling that something will happen anytime soon. Just with a couple additional mechanics this will be a nice game

As the description states, its just the demo, as our defense mechanics are still being worked on.

It has beautiful visuals and entretening gameplay but I think that the game need more info for what do all things

Developer

Thank you for the feedback!

The game looks amazing. I'm really interesting to see the direction this would take, as think with the style and polish, if it extends beyond just the idle clicker its really got potential.

Developer

Thanks!!! Our tower defense mechanics are sooo close to being done, just needed final touches.

Fantastic graphics, has a lot of potential!

Developer

Thanks for playing!!!

Beautiful pixel graphics. I like that each tower level has several variations, which makes it look organic.

Upgrading the tower is addictive for a while.

What I didn't understand was if different upgrade types has some "function" or if it is just cosmetic. I noticed light blue ones doesn't earn money and those arrow ones have some range idicator, so maybe they boosts production in that range?

Nice game.

Thanks for the feedback!! We have some very big plans for this game that are not fully implemented yet in this demo. This version of Babel is sorta the peaceful mode, while the full game which is coming soon features some tower defense/roguelike elements in which you must defend your tower from Angels with archers, and maintain your heresy levels by strategically building temples (the blueish towers). Sorry if these caused any confusion, we left these extra towers in the game simply bc they look cool :D

Thanks for explanation, that concept sounds cool.  :-)

I Love this detailed art style!! it looks really cool, esp that each floor of the tower has different designs! 
I was confused on the difference between the workers and engineers at first, but got the hang of it when the game progresses with more floors to work with. Good job!

Developer

Glad you enjoyed it!!!
