Great stuff! I really love how each level is designed so that it's possible to beat them with every single unit alive; it adds a whole new layer for players who want to perfect their strategy. Solid presentation and concept with a lot of thought put into each level's design.

It's a tower defense where you send the enemy waves, but with a puzzling twist!

Froggy: The RevengeIt's a very polished reverse tower defence game. I like it!
Also I like the game page design. It's polished too and it's great.

Push The CatA very nicely polished take on tower defense, I could see there were clear uses to the timings of summoning units to make the puzzles, but would have loved to see more variety for the units so its less of a "This is the order" puzzle and more figuring out which units you need

I used to be an AdventurerGreat game! Really polished, and the mechanics are fun to play around with. I couldn't find any better puzzle solving strategy other than just spamming random units, tho, lol. I could definitely see this turning into an official steam game that I would pay at least $10 for! Love the banner/thumbnail as well.

Anti-DogfightLooks very polished, I like the animations and aesthetic. I thought something was wrong with my audio but it's the game, it would have been a good point to add some music. Good game!

Ale & AdventuresGreat take on the reverse tower defense idea, the unique targeting for different enemy types is a really good basis for a puzzle game, the actual targeting for each tower was really clear once I threw my units in, no text tutorials needed. You even managed to keep the puzzles inventive enough that I wasn't really using the same solution multiple times in a row, really good work given the 48 hour time period!
A shame about the lack of audio, I think with some more enemy types and a some sound, this could work really well as a full release. My only real criticism is I think the "Pure Evil" flag could show up for a fixed "Maximum" amount of possible units for each level, since some levels make it literally impossible to save everyone. (Nevermind, this was a skill issue!)

Last Minute Slime SessionReally glad you liked the game! ^^
It actually is possible to beat every level without losing any units - otherwise I wouldn’t have left the level designs in lol. Some of the later levels are pretty finicky, notably levels 8 and 10, but they’re all possible to get perfect scores on ;P
Can’t deny the lack of sound effects though. I was also planning on adding more unit types, like one that’s immune to turrets but has only 1hp against everything else, but time got the better of me and I had to reduce scope lol.
Omg wait... I just found a bug that makes it move TWICE AS FAST ON DIFFERENT COMPUTERS FSR???
I switched to my work computer, which runs on Windows 11 (idk if that's what's causing it). Not sure if this same thing is happening for you, but if so, I totally understand how much harder it is to beat every level that way xP
Love the gameplay and aesthetic! Hopefully you can add sounds after the jam ends :D

Cobble Stone ColossusI really liked the minesweeper esque grid and how it transformed into the level. Just as I thought there wasn't strategy in the levels I lost one due to lack of strategy! Great difficulty curve, made it into a fun puzzle game

Be Kind RewindVery cool idea, loved the puzzle approach. Going for "pure evil" rating is definitely the best way to play since without it the game is too easy. Would've been great if there was some ui for which units survived and which didn't (for pure evil runs) since in some levels it's hard to fine-tune your strategy without that knowledge. Really cool artstyle too
the aesthetics and execution are great, I wish there was a bit more strategy involved though, since every level can be done by just sending out every unit at once.

Dungeon DeveloperSuch a fun game! Love the idea and the art was really polished. While there were a few levels that took a few tries, it only enhanced the game as it was exciting to develop new strategies to shoot for the pure evil corruption. Awesome job!
Submitted
Dungeon MasterThanks for the game! I like the graphics and tower defense is always fun. For critique, I think it could've used some balancing: I beat most levels just spamming each character as quickly as possible. Still, quite enjoyable :)
