Very nice game, looks really good and feels smooth when playing! I'm guessing in the solo mode you don't get to use the cannon, but if it's the same for multiplayer (4 guys shooting to the center) what would worry me is the balance, given the cannon's fire rate (feedback based on the solo mode, in case it changes!). For the solo mode it's fine, but humans usually come up with better, different strategies when shooting than just aiming at the player like the AI does.

One thing, I don't know what's up with that, but i think that it was most likely a unintended behaviour: I've shot continously one of the cannons and it started spinning like a beyblade, then it didn't know where to aim xD

Great job with this one, I'll keep it around and see if i can find people for a multiplayer session, cheers! :)

Hi!

Thanks for playing! Sadly we did not had that much time to balance the game properly, as we wanted to fix networking as much as posible until the deadline. :D

Really nice visuals!  I wasn't able to play online, so I feel like I missed out on the full potential of the game, but it definitely seems nice :)

The looped cutscene for the main menu looks really polished and the shooting feels good too. Good job!

Wow very impressive multiplayer game! The balancing act between shooting other players and preventing the environment from collapsing was really fun and unique.

The music, sound and main menu animations and visuals were awe inspiring I don't know how you made all that! Great submission!

Hi Andrew!

Yes, Andrew and I (Eric) are twins, so we have enjoyed many a multiplayer game over the years and we are happy to add Jenga Defender to the list! Also I still can't get over how cool your main menu is with the animations in the background with the toy soldiers and everything. Amazing work!

Making the animations was a lot of fun! Happy that you enjoy them :)
