Interesting take on the tower-defense genre! I like that each tower comes with its own gameplay. It's also great to see so much variety within enemies! Animations are quite long though, changing position or weapon takes a lot of time. Despite that, the game is pretty merciful, given that enemies don't deal a lot of damage. This make a game last a bit long in my opinion, I wouldn't have been against losing earlier. But despite it I still had a bit of fun trying different weapons on these armies. Congrats for making this game!

This is a really fun and creative idea! I was very confused at first so adding a tutorial would be a good idea but after I read the description it was very fun and very challenging. It would be a big change but I think it could be interesting if you had to place your towers which would survive for a limited number of turns and you could switch between them with the number keys or clicking. Great job overall!

Screw This Fish in ParticularMaking it so you control the towers is a simple but very cool change to the tower defence formula! Nice job!

Fish Food: Father and ChumThe different towers having different shooting mechanism was a nice touch! The graphics, animations, and sounds were well done! Good job! :D

Space EscapersVery intuitive and fun! Like the idea and the art work! Switching position is a very good idea for the reverse tower defence game.

The Horse RacingInteresting idea! Though gameplay could feel a bit slow. Maybe allowing for more towers at once, and having the towers have autonomous, but played-controlled behaviours, would have sped up the gameplay? Otherwise, with some additional features, I could see this being a full game! Well done.

Kingfort EscortThe audio was great and the art super amazing. I wish there was some UI telling you where the crossbow was going to target. The three towers where unique and the gameplay was fun. Overall great work well done. :D

Lil PiggiesCool game, love the concept!
And i think that it could be made into a pretty fun multiplayer mode! :)

Villains Never WinPretty good game. The concept is pretty original and creative. I liked the presentation. The magic tower is almost unusable, it takes too much time for not enough reward. The cannon felt very nice and satisfying. Good job!

Wizard MasterLove the art style and the concept is really creative. The bow was a bit difficult to aim, and it would have been cool to have enemy types that take more / only take damage from a certain tower. I found myself using the cannon the most because it just felt the strongest and it was quite satisfying to aim and use. Great entry!

Deep WatersThis is a really cool concept!
Some ideas if you tweak it after the Jam - I got to wave 8 with about 70 health - the yellow enemies have way too much hp for their speed in my opinion and I basically only use the cannon - the bow was surprisingly hard to aim - maybe turn it around that you drag towards were you want to aim - should make it easyer and the magic tower felt useless because I could not tell how much dmg it dealt and who it would attack...
But I hope you keep working on it - one of the best TD games this Jam

Plat FormerThis is really fun and addicting! It'd be nice if you had the time to implement that currency system you spoke of but 48 hours as we know isn't a lot haha, awesome job!

Alligator Ball PitIt's a REALLY satisfying feeling game! I feel like it could be made better by having tower switching bound to RMB rather than LMB. Extremely satisfying to just set myself at the end of the route and just spray and pray arrows (and ruining my fingers because of it, lol). Great job!
