Cool to play a tower defense game where your towers aren't permanent, which forces you to be tactical. Nice interpretation of the theme, too.

tower defense loop is a cool idea! i like that the towers get eaten by the snake. unfortunately the progression seemed to stop and enemies stopped coming out of the portal.

OOO Ive never thought abt tower defense where the tower themselves moves in a path! It was really fun, altho I wish I could read the card stat without having to drag it up, currently its obscure by the unity bar logo and Im not sure if it's me or the game. And the artstyle is amazing too

dang i was REALLY getting into it when the bug hit. that being said the game is awesome, i love the concept and i implore you to explore it further. also the art is amazing. beautiful.

Congrats on the submission
I really like the way you integrated the tower defense genre with the theme!

If only the game time was a bit longer!

I struggled a bit with the card placing mechanic since the cards seemed to go back into the deck when after placing them in the green circles but other than that, I really enjoyed how you guys implemented the towers being eaten up by Ourobros, really balances out the game so that you can't have too many tower in the later stages and win without doing anything. LOVED IT!!

Btw it would be awesome if you guys could also play my game :)

So unfortunate that the playtime is so short due to the bug, the art is super cool and is a very interesting take on the tower defense game!

Nice way to fit tower defense into the loop theme in a satisfying way. The art is really good too! Shame about the bug.

I need more! Good concept  your Pixel art is beautiful !! gameplay is fun ! but the enemies dont disappear ! Good job team !

I want more! Definitely would have played it much longer. I somehow really like tower defense. Sadly, it was too short before the bug is triggered. I also had a bug in my game that destroyed the large meta loop a few minutes before the submission ended. It was so stressful 🫥. I feel you. Please leave me a notice after the rating phase when you’ve fixed the bug. Then I’d love to play it again :)

Nice idea, it really changes the vibe of tower defense. It's a bit hectic that my tower will get eaten in 30 seconds, but the teleport cards help me save towers which I love :) unfortunately the game is not quite functional since enemies stop coming after a while.. but I can see the potential. Also, you seem to have made all the art and music and sfx during the jam, which is amazing. It looks great!

Really great snake art. Shame on the last minute bug. Fun concept for the theme.

The art is amazing. I love the mix of story and mechanics! Great job (and please never change code last 5 minutes ever again, you robbed us of a good game ahahaha)

Never again! ToT

This is awesome. Love how you spun the tower defense with the dragon eating its own defenses. Fantastic job.

Seeing a twist on the well-known tower defence formula is very enjoyable and well done, it's a shame that the game is so short.

Wow , good job

The bug is really unfortunate, because this is a really creative idea! Great job regardless.

This game is super cool! I loved the tower and spell designs, and felt like there was a ton of depth. Unfortunately, after 2 minutes or so enemies stopped spawning :(.  If I did something wrong or you know how to get around this let me know because I'd love to play more.

ALSO, the artwork is SO SO SO SO good, 5 stars. I love it so much.

We made some last minute tweeks so the end screen would load faster when you beat the game, and by doing so we added a bug that broke the loop progression T^T 

We learned to never change codes 5 minutes before the deadline :)

Anyway, thank you very much for your review. I'm glad you enjoyed our game!

Damn I'm sorry, you should try and fix that bug after the jam and I would totally play more!
