Enjoyed this one. Fun and cute. Only problem I had is sometimes upgrade menu closing on it's own unexpectedly - poor connection, maybe?)
P.S. wait, you can place toasters on a enemy track?)

The game is fairly colourblind friendly, and has some settings for audio levels if needed. Though there wasn't enough time to add more tooltips and a tutorial

Thank you for trying!
The upgrade menu should only be closing if you don’t click on the tower (meaning if you click anywhere outside), so it would be weird that it’s closing on it’s own. I’ll check on the code and try it out myself, thanks for reporting the issue
In the current build, you can place toasters on the enemy track as there were no checks done to prevent that
Thank you for trying the game out!
There are events in the game that do cause glitches, as it was made to simulate lag, like Ping Spikes, packet loss etc. Though there also exists some bugs as well that I’ve recently found out. The taking of money is actually intended currently, as some of the backend stuff I’ve yet to fix made it duplicate money when refunding the player after an event, thus I left it to not refund the player for now.
The hotbar actually has some invisible turret types that are currently disabled, as they were a little too buggy with the events for my liking, but will be enabled again once they are fixed. Going for damage upgrades are definitely a better choice than range or cooldown currently, so I’ll be doing some balancing for that as well.
Thank you for your feedback, and thank you for hosting the jam!
The game is quite fun, and you did very well in implementing the Tower Defense and Player got disconnected game mechanics. I don't think I have any feedbacks in improving the game mechanics, maybe not allow players to spawn towers on enemy paths? But I like able to place on enemy paths XD
Hope you will post update the game after the jam with more polishing.
I actually forgot about that and didn’t implement a check as to where the tower was placed. Never tried placing it on a path so I didn’t actually know haha, will likely be fixing it unless I can incorporate it somehow. I will definitely update it as most of the main mechanics and features are already set, just needing some polish and content.
I’m glad you enjoyed parts of the game! The tower defence side is definitely lacking, as I spent a lot of time making sure the different events could work with what I have, so I made the tower defence simple to try the events on. I didn’t really have time to expand it past that though. I will be working on the tower defence side, but more on the UI and feedback first to give players a more chaotic feel to the game.

Bread is the best. Thank you for the feedback! Sadly didn’t have time to fully polish the connection issues and add more of them. Do look out for more glitches coming!
Thanks for trying! I was quite busy this jam so I settled on a really simple idea and just tried to get a working game. Will definitely be adding on to it as most of the core features are already set up, just missing content and polishing. There was more towers until I commented them out, as they were still buggy to play with, regarding screen shake, do you mean when the enemy damages the player?
