Who doesn't love a good tower defense game? :D
This is one of my favorite genres and I had an absolute BLAST playing this game!

RTS games can be super hard to pull off, nice attempt!
Unfortunately, I had no idea what I was doing. Any sort of tutorial or instruction in-game would have helped understand what I was doing and why I was doing it. Still, I can tell you put a lot of time and effort into what IS here because it all looks nice and controls well.
Congrats on finishing your game jam submission and keep making games!
Nice changes to the Code Monkey Tower Defense. The art you used looked amazing. Good Job on the Game Jam submission.
Nice tower defense,
When you place a tower or a resource collector, maybe add some circle area, green or red, to easily know if we are too close from an other building or not.
Great work !
Liked it! It was a bit confusing at first tough, I would suggest to introduce buildings mechanics to the player first.
Good job! This game is really fun. I'm on wave 24 right now and still going. Now that I've built up the resources, I'm building so many towers, it reminds me of defending against the zerg in Starcraft. I could see this game having a lot of potential cool upgrades and enemies if you kept going with it.
As tower defence games go, I found it quite relaxing. Made it to wave 20-something but got distracted with a conversation and died. The camera movement was way too fast for me - mouse and keyboard on a laptop. Combined with the camera shake, I never even got to see the enemies!
As has been mentioned by others, spheres of influence/can't build here representation would be good. I'd also like to click on the minimap and move my camera to that location.
Not the strongest connection to the theme, but not the worst by a long way.
Played and rated, nice game!
Once I understood all units and how the game works it got really fun. Played until wave 13 and eventually got bored a little.
The music is noticeably repetitive.
Overall great submission, I had fun playing for a while :)
This is a great game and has been said by others it's a good place to build from too. It took me a few moments to get the hang of where I could place certain buildings etc. Others have already mentioned the idea of upgradable buildings and more enemy variety, which I agree would also be great. Something I'd suggest is being able to see how far away buildings have to be from another of the same type, as that is something that I had a bit of an issue with.
All in all it's very fun, well done :)
Great work! I really like these style of games. Not sure what they're called....survival RTS? But yeah, it's always fun to hold off insurmountable odds. I think you have a great base for a game that can easily be fleshed out into something more. At the moment, I do think the game is a bit too easy. Resource collection seems to snowball really quickly and repairing the towers probably shouldn't be instant since I found if I click repair as fast as it pops up then I almost never lose a tower.
Good job with your submission! Hope you continue with developing it!
Hi, I noticed your submission is missing source folders. Your source is everything someone needs to download your game, open it in the game engine, and hit Play to play the game. In your case, your source is missing the Packages and ProjectSettings folders. Here is an example of what your source should look like: https://github.com/icepol/DeathIsOnlyTheBeginning
GG, you created a fun game - and a solid foundation for a lot more content I think!
After a quick few deaths I got the hang of it and managed to get the economy running and a a few solid circles of towers around said economy! Different enemies, upgradable towers and maybe some bosses in between and this game has a lot potential, good job!
Feel free to check our submission out & good luck in the future!
