Nice submission! I love tower defense games, and I had a lot of fun playing this :)

The progression of the game is a bit too fast: the second level felt much harder in comparison to the first one, and I would have preferred a slower pace.  However, perfect balance is hard to achieve in a handful of days. So, don't worry, the gameplay remains interesting and solid ;)

I also experienced the same bug described in other comments; I hope you can fix it in the next release! Anyway, congratulations for your entry!

Thank you so much for playing!! The balancing was indeed my most challenging part haha!

Took me a few tries and looking at the comments here to realize the towers not shooting is a bug and not me missing something.🙃

Pretty nice relaxing music.

Developer

Thank you for checking it out! 

Sorry about the targeting issue, I didn't find that bug till after submitting :(

I have only ever composed for game jams before, so I wanted to add a lot more music, but ran out of time sadly.

Cool little tower defence game! Played with my son (5). He says "give me more money so I can win" - he means it was hard to buy enough towers to survive.

One suggestion, could we have support for fullscreen scaling! My eyes aren't great at tiny screens

Developer(+1)

Thank you both for playing! :D 


I realized after submitting I should have implemented an “end of round” bonus which definitely could have helped the economy haha. I also tried implementing scaling but couldn’t figure it out in time sadly. I actually started a new project the day after the submission and realized it was a matter of project setting configuration lol.

Nice TD game , Like the others I had a bug where the towers just kinda didn't do anything? Maybe i put my tower a little close to the path which may of caused the issue? I would of liked to maybe have the option to speed up gameplay and maybe have tooltips to see what my towers did as I didn't quite know why the long one was needed at a higher cost if it just gave me more range? but overall fun little game. 

Developer

I was running short on time, but tooltips were going to be the next thing I implemented! Also, balancing was a “last minute” deal so I figured I would receive some criticism on that haha. Thank you for taking the time to play!

Nice tower defense game! I really liked each tower's design. I had the same bug as others reported, but nonetheless it was really fun to play

Developer

Thanks for playing!

Good tower defense. Some red blood cell is unkillable/unspotable ( 2 on round 4 and many on round 5) is that a bug or there is some upgrade that i need to have? 

Developer

There is a targeting bug that decided to show itself after I submitted unfortunately. Thank you for playing!!

Nice little tower defence game, I liked that all the tower had different specialities and could be upgraded.

Developer(+1)

Thank you! I was going to add more, but ran out of time sadly.

I enjoyed playing this one. Something caused my towers to stop shooting mid-wave (I think upgrading towers?) Still, fun game and congrats on your submission :)

Developer

Thanks for playing! This appears to be a decently common bug haha. Sorry about that!

Nice work, always like to see a tower defense game. I placed a normal tower mid-wave but it didn't seem to target already moving white cells. Although it could be that I just don't understand how that works.

Developer

Thank you for the feedback! I definitely think the targeting could use some work haha.


Thank  you for your playing my game! :)
