hi there! Just wanted to say that I really loved this game! It has everything a good tower defense game should have, so great work! If you’re planning on upgrading the game a bit you can maybe research some options to earn money during the level.

I loved it! Although I don't play tower defense at all.

I avoided the game description on the itch page and started the game without it.

First I learned how to put up towers, and then I learned how upgrade them with a random click :D

A cell highlight when hovering would have been very helpful, so the player could immediately understand the interactivity of clicking without needing to click.

Also, maybe you know, the cells at the top and the cells in the top right corner are hard enough to interact. The pop-up menu is covered by the edge of the screen. And in the corner, the pause and speed up buttons also overlap the purchase/upgrade menu.

Every level I felt that I was on the edge of defeat and could lose, but I managed to beat all the waves. Very pleasant feeling, and a lot of defeated dice, giving me coins, multiplied the pleasant feelings :D

Sometimes I didn't understand which turret was going to fire at which location. And it was a bit odd when turrets covering 2 roads would fire at those dice closer to the turret, rather than those closer to the end of the road (and the potential damage to the main tower).

But other than that, it was an enjoyable game!

I love Tower Defenses 😍 This one is quite hard! Making progress through the waves is rewarding. Art and music are great, congratulations!

Very well presented, I like the variety of units and am seriously impressed with how complete a tower defense game you put together. The details on selling and upgrading towers and the incoming enemies especially!

Rolling the dice for a reward is super satisfying though can leave you fate up to chance!

Hi, sorry for the little debate that arose earlier. I couldn't stand the influx of criticism, I was wrong. I apologize.

You have a great game, well done for participating! 5 stars from me.

I'm not really a fan of tower defense type games, and I'm really not good at them, but this was pretty good. The idea of your reward being rolling of the dice you defeat is interesting. I'm not sure there's much mechanically relevant to it (other than some randomization to your end-level reward), but it's at least interesting thematically. I'm not sure how well balanced it is, particularly with the different tower types. My first time through, I tried to fully level up towers of each type to figure out how each worked, and lost pretty bad. My second attempt I basically just placed a bunch of once-upgraded of the rapid-fire weapon and did better, but still lost bad after a few rounds. I'm certain I'm just bad at the game, but I am still wondering how well the three towers are all balanced relative to each other, and if there's really a good reason to not just use one type of tower. I did have more fun with this game than the other tower defense games I played this jam, so that's a good mark for the game.

Played for a while and had a lot of fun with this one, the RNG for the coins is a cool take on the theme and overall TD games, sometimes I got very little coins but managing to still defend against a wave was satisfying and rewarding. The visuals are really nice too! Nice job.

Very fun, I enjoyed playing through all the levels and it was very satisfying to see the big rain of dice hitting all at once afterwards. I think I was quite deep into the second level before realising I could upgrade or sell towers, but I guess I did learn it naturally enough through play.

This is maybe an unfair criticism, because I've felt the same way about a lot of tower defence games that were *not* made in a weekend, but I struggled to tell how strategically effective my decisions were, see strategies beyond "slap as many towers down as possible" and sense a payoff. I always like a slow tower in this sort of thing because it gives a very obvious visible synergy - "ahah, this slow tower would be useless on its own, but nested in amongst my high damage towers it's doubling their value", etc.

With the sheer number of dice it was also a bit tricky to tell if I was rolling above or below average. I think once I felt like I was absolutely rolling in cash, but the rest of the time it just felt like decent money, and at that point I wasn't sure I was really feeling different from if I'd just been handed a big pile of cash. It might be more interesting if you were handed a random assortment of towers to place and had to be strategic with what you had?

In any case, still one of the most fun games I've played in the jam and the only TD I've seen. Slick and polished, I would have believed this was a professional browser or mobile game!

A lot of fun and very polished, though a little easy - not a bad thing for a jam game though, most of them swing the opposite way.

Feels like the RNG with the random rewards could get out of hand pretty quickly, but I don't care because it's just too much fun to see them all fall down on the field, I love it.

Congrats on finishing your game for the jam! Well done

The use of theme here boils down to randomized rewards after each wave. That's a fun take on the theme, but I could see it getting a little impractical for tower defense games as these games are really make or break on the balance. I think I needed a little more information up front about each tower's range - maybe show the range when you're hovering a tower before you buy it? 

I lost pretty quickly, but I still had fun building up those towers. The catapult seems too slow to ever be useful though, especially when it's the most expensive. It just didn't feel good to buy. 

Games like this thrive off giving the player as much information as possible - damage numbers, range indicators, wave counts, etc. Tower defense is a favorite genre, but it presents a lot of challenges for a game jam, especially in just 48 hours. Great job overall. 

Keep making games!

A fun and polished tower defense game! I really liked the visuals. The gameplay could be linked to the theme a bit more. You could have a "dice tower" that shoots at random time intervals or with random attack strength. Anyways, pretty cool entry overall!

I had a lot of fun playing this one! The gameplay and graphics worked really well to create a casual (yet still challenging) atmosphere and the rewards at the end of the level felt super juicy. Maybe I missed it, but some sort of wave counter to tell me how far along in the level I am is just about I'd ask for here. Great work!

Nice tower defense game, though I wish the dice determined more than the enemies.

With no information about what the towers do (damage, range, cooldown) I find it difficult to make any meaningful choice on which tower to build or upgrade. That's why I was not very engaged in solving the game. I think the rolling of the dice between each round is a cool visual effect, but the random rewards didn't really improve the gameplay for me. However, I was curious about some of the towers and played a couple of times to discover what they do.

It's a 10, it would be an 11/10 if I wasn't so bad at it.

This is a really fun tower defense game! I love how polished it is, and satisfying little details such as the towers getting taller with upgrades, and the dice determining your gold every round. It took a few retries to get going but it never felt frustrating. Great job!

nice game! good looking and fun!

Very well polished! I especially like when the you collect gold from the dice after each wave. Very satisfying!

Solid game, quite creative! The only problems I had with the game were that I basically just found what I thought was the best tower (the minigun) and then just spammed it everywhere, so it seemed a little unbalanced. The game was still difficult though, which was nice. I loved that I could speed up the process, but when I was killing a bunch of enemies, all of the sound effects were killing my ears. Great work!

Neat twist on the tower defence formula! Funnily enough I found the game a little too easy, and the units seem a little unbalanced; the catapault in particular feels very under-powered. Maybe I was just lucky with my dice rolls though? Good work man, this was a fun one :)
