With some work, this can become a great game!
My suggestion is to have 2 phases. During the day you prepare, upgrade and charge your buildings. During the night you attack with the creeps, gaining coins for upgrades. Give the player a health stat and an attack for the knight.
You have a great base, so adding upon what you have will improve it dramatically! Good job nonetheless!

Fun game, everything is pretty well done I don't have much to say.

The only thing I can say could be improved is the upgrade system, it just pops up and if you are trying to press a key before you just automatically pick one but it's not that big of a deal

All the art and audio is well made, I like the idea of a reverse tower defense and I think it's solid in spoopiness

Yep, upgrade screen definetely could be improved :) Thanks for playing!

Solid entry:

- fun concept and staying on the "other side of barrier" was something nice, maybe it should be Tower Offensive? :D

- really nice music, gives the spooky and chill vibe at the same time

- upgrade system ( are the base stats the same for every character at the start, just curious?), very pleasant

Developer

thanks!

Zombies have more hp and low speed, skeletons have almost zero hp and fast, pumpkin also low at hp and has medium speed. And can destroy towers. 
and I posted it as answer to another comment, towers will attack zombies first.

i loved raising the spooky guys! echoing below comment, maybe i'm bad but my creeps also die right away lol. also i think maybe there could be some fine-tuning of the controls? sometimes the help page would come up when i was intending on energizing. good job :D

you are right, the game balance is far from perfect :)

But there’s hint: when attacking, towers prefer bigger units. And zombies are bigger than skeletons and pumpkins. And  4 pumpkins will destroy a tower.

Nice! It's like a spooky version of Anomaly Warzone Earth. A bit tough, but it's really cool to energize all the bases at dawn and launch a huge attack at sundown.

Cool entry!

thanks!

Tbh I didn't understand what I'm supposed to do at first, but it's a very interesting idea! Though all of my creeps are dying the moment they leave the cemetery lol

Developer

Probably I need to tune down the difficulty :) 

Thanks!
