Love the clock themed music and adored the handrawn art style, a really unique entry! Not sure how many waves I beat, but there were about 1000 grandfather clocks on screen by the end

Very cute tower defense game. I liked the art style and the different tower variations. Great job on your first GWJ entry! :)

Kinda fun but didn't really have much strategy other than "spend all the money ASAP"! I wish there were some upgrades or choices to make. 

But that didn't stop me from playing to the end. It was a really nice little tower defense with super charming graphics and a really interesting soundtrack to keep me engaged. Could have used some sound effects, a health bar or HP text display, but all the basics are here! The way you have time as a spendable resource is interesting and I think could be developed further into something really cool! Nice work!

I love the clock ticking bgm. Perfectly suit the game theme and enemy design

Developer

Thank you! This is actualy wintage pendulum clock ticking, i recorded at my parents house.

Nice concept and cool art style.

There were some z index issues. How many rounds are there? or is it endless?

Developer

Thank you! Regardin the art style, it was my wife debut as an artist for a game.

At this point, z-offset is officialy my nemesis.

And it is not endless. About 10 waves. But win state isn't triggering for some reason.

I got to the end? The enemies stopped spawning at least :)

There were a few issues with layering that made it hard to place towers behind one another...

Otherwise a really cute little tower defence!

Developer(+1)

Yep. You won :)
There should be the win message somewere, but it's not triggering.

Regarding z-ofsset ... it's hard when 2 hours left til the submission closes :) 

I'm glad you liked the art style. And my wife would be happy to hear it!

Interesting premise. I like the use of time as currency.

Great graphics. Great concept.

I felt like some of the area2Ds could have been improved, or maybe the range of the towers should be made more evident to the players. I placed a tower and it felt like it didn't shoot anything.

Developer

Thank you! We bit more than we can chew, with this project.

So lot's of place for improvement.

But overal we are happy whith the results :)
