Super enjoyable to play. The game play did eventually get a bit repetitive. Something else to focus on during game could help like repairing towers or just something to mix up the game play a little can help keep player interest. In saying this I did love the game. Good Job :D.

How does your game fit the theme?
There is a BLACK HOLE disrupting and cause defense towers to malfunction and be placed randomly! Also your ship's main cannon is on the fritz and shooting wacky. It's all OUT OF CONTROL~

Very nice aproach on the tower defense genre! Its actually cool that you dont need to worry too much about tower placement, and can focus more on action! Very well balanced, and I like the variety of towers and enemies! Good thing it ended on 8000 points, or I would spend too much time on it. Lol! Great job!
I definitely feel like this is one of my favorite games of the jam so far. I have always loved tower defense games and I love your take. The chaos the elements that you cannot control and the frantic nature of the game. Small thing, one time I get hit and stunned by the enemies and because the stunning doesn't allow you to move, I was caught in a stun lock because of the pacing of the enemies. I'd maybe allow like very small movements in that stun mode so you don't get stun locked. Otherwise great! Thanks for sharing and hope you keep working on it and and more levels.
I've given this critique a lot today so please don't take it personally: This game would be amazing if it didn't have all the parts you added to make it fit the "out of control" theme. I guess I'm the type of person who doesn't like randomness in games, but I think that if this was a standard tower defense and it was balanced around that, you could put this on the app store and it'd be better than most of the defense games on there. You did a really good job, but this theme was really hard to create for.
Ah, nice and playable game. I wish it was a bit more "out of control", but otherwise I like it. Well done.
Really nice. I like how the instability of your gun is offset by the increasing number of turrets I get
This game is really well polished! And cute yt channel! :D Good luck !
clever design! well made and the music fit perfectly for this game.
Great presentation, great music. Fun twist on tower defence. One of my favourite games in the jam. Would love to see this fleshed out into a full game with ship upgrades. Great work!
Very fun! I got 7650 points, I missed some aliens. I liked the mixture of tower defense and space shooting. The intro was a bit long, maybe if you could actually try out the controlls in the intro would feel better, and it'd work as a tutorial.
Great job!
This was a cool art style, and I liked that the towers spawned randomly. I think changing the hitstun to a knockback or something might be a good idea, there were many times I just barely clipped one alien and then was stuck as multiple trampled my dead corpse. Overall, this was really fun, and I liked the interpretation of the theme! Good work.
Really enjoyed this game, it was well designed and beautiful art. I enjoyed the multiple types of towers. Though the "malfunctioning" gun was extremely annoying in the beginning, I did eventually overcome it by being extremely close, but it still might have been a bit too wide a margin, especially given the speed of some of the monsters. Awesome work, thank you.
Had a blast! 8400 points! Nice idea, well implemented, really polished! Really nice art and audio! Great job!
Played to completion got 8250 points!
I might have missed something but I don't think there is any gains in not spending 5 coins as soon as you get them. It would have been nice if you could way and "bet" for a better tower or something.
Overall the difficulty curve was good and the art is nice as well :)
This is a great game and submission! Great work on the presentation, and I love the idea of randomly placing towers, it really improves the flow. Good job! :))
