this game is in the tower defense style, one of my favorite styles, the mechanics are well polished without bugs, I just found a small problem that when the enemies go to the left they are upside down, the game is very intuitive, I for example skipped the tutorial and being able to play well, at first it's very easy, but as the stages progress it gets more difficult, but it's not unfair, I liked the detail of you putting the skip to skip the dialogue and I also liked the extras talking about towers and enemies , a personal detail is that I thought the first phase lasted longer than it should, but this is something personal, this game at the end gives a feeling of "I want more", if you were going to continue this project, a tip is to put a button that speeds up the game time, it's a great game congratulations
Hello :D Thanks so much for playing and for the improvement ideas!
Yup the enemies do get upside down haha🙃I saw this while testing but pushed it aside to fix later and in the end I totally forgot about it >_<
Thanks again for the review, I'll definitely add up the ideas you mentioned (◠‿◠✿)
Always liked the tower defense games, This gives the gives the same feeling but with different taste.Well done
Thank you so much for playing \(^_^)/
Relaxing, low spec tower defense with an amusing take on the theme. If only cleaning infected computers was this fun in real life.
Hi there and thank you so much for playing! =^_^=
I'm happy you had a good time and I agree, I wish cleaning infected computers was easier and more interactive haha \(^▽^)/
I see you used the Kenney asset pack for the basis of your turrets just like I did. Very cool tower defense game I really liked it. The levels difficulty, maps, and enemies all seemed really well made. I also loved the music and sound effects. A+ game for sure!
I just have to know, did you by any chance get inspired by Club Penguin's System Defender game? It has the same feel to it/concept. If not, then my bad but I thought maybe you did xD
Great job!
Hi there, thank you so much for the comment and for playing my game!
Yup, I used the kenney towers and also, the level decorations were indeed inspired by the System defender from club penguin haha (^▽^)
I loved that mini-game s a Kid and it was the one I missed the most when it shut down >_< I also got some inspiration from the world "logbox 720" from Banjo e kazooie nuts and bolts. Oh I miss these games T_T
Anyway, I'm happy someone recognised one of my inspirations (✿◠‿◠)
Thanks again for playing, I'm really happy you liked it
I like that you took the time to set the stage with the text prompts at the beginning. To me the occasional fast units and big enemy waves were very succesful at creating tension and mixing up the pace. It would be handy to be able to look up the different towers during or before the start of the wave. Overall, good fun and +1 for using Godot, it's nice to see some other engines being represented as well!
Hiii thank you so much for playing and feedback! I'm glad the big waves successfully added some tension >_<
I'm working on a tower stats preview during gameplay so the player can check as many times needed and choose which is more convenient to place more easily and I'm also working on wave time improvements so the player can breath and place a few towers before more enemies pops up.
Thank you again for checking my game out and for the 1+ from using Godot ≧◡≦
Great game! I love tower defense games. Very nice and well polished. I managed to finish it and would have loved to keep going! Great job!!
Hello! Thank you so much for checking my game! I'm really happy to find another tower defence fan and that you liked it (◠‿◠✿)
I'm planning on adding more levels in the future and I'm happy you found it well polished, I tried my best ^-^
Thanks again for the sweet comment and for playing my game ＼(*^▽^*)/
It starts slowly but after some time the game sucked me into the gameplay and I've finished it all! It wasn't difficult , but it was very satisfying. I love the variety of viruses, big and slow and fast swarms coming one after another. It forces player to use different stategies. I enjoyed it :)
Awn thank you so much for playing and for the sweet review! ≧◡≦
I'm really happy you liked and had a good experience with my game (◠‿◠✿) Also, I'm happy to read you found it satisfying, I tried to make eliminating the viruses (especially the fast swarms) as relaxing and therapeutic as I could haha >_<
Thanks again for playing :D
More Levels!
I'll take that as a compliment haha :D And I'll make sure to add more levels, don't worry＼(*^▽^*)/
Thank you so much for playing (◠‿◠✿)
Awesome that you included a tutorial! Art style was simple and clean, I liked it. Music and SFX were fitting, too. Very impressive that you managed to submit a tower defense game, they are very hard to balance in my opinion, especially in such a short time. This one was very fun to play, thanks for sharing.
Hi there! Wow thank you so much for the review :D I'm really happy you liked it ^-^
I like to code very minimalist tower defence games in my spare time so I personally didn't have too much trouble with the basics of it. However : I always leave tons of features out of my little prototypes (since they are just for fun) so I did have to learn how to add many features that I'm not so familiar with but that are expected to be in this type of game.
So yeah, I had to rush to make it look decent and get it done on time, as well as make sure it was as bug free as possible haha ≧◡≦
Once again, thank you so much for playing! I'm really happy you had fun with it \(^▽^)/
Fun and addicting game, nice concept, those viruses can't even touch me. I hope you add a feature to remove a tower in the future. Keep up the good work!
Hello =^-^= Thank you so much for playing! I'm really happy you found my game fun and addicting :D oh and I love the idea to remove towers! How I didn't think about this (ﾉ◕ヮ◕)ﾉ*:･ﾟ✧
I'll definitely make it a feature in the future!
Thanks again for stopping by and for the sweet comment \(^-^)/
I really loved the code side to it I thought it was amazing and done really well, especially the code that made it that the turrets shot the ones closest to finishing. I thought the art was basic but fit the theme really well.
Hi there, thanks for checking my game :D
I'm so happy someone noticed this tower shooting feature \(^▽^)/ I felt like it was kinda hard to notice and was wondering if it had been worth the extra code so I'm really glad you liked it ^-^ Thanks again for playing and for the comment, it means a lot \(^-^)/
ofc no worry's I'm happy your having a good time and enjoying the jam.
Overall a fun game. I noticed that you've put a lot of thought in the code. The art is simple but it fits the theme you're going for. I think the game gets too hard too quickly though. Also, I think you should make it so you see the stats of the turrets when you hover it. The game could also use more audio/visual feedbacks to give it a little bit more oomph.
Hi there thanks for playing! My plan was to have the stats hovering the towers when you clicked them but my code for it was too buggy so I removed it and improvised by placing the tower stats on the extras menu >_< I'll definitely add this feature in the future and maybe even add an easy and hard mode to each level too.
Thanks for the feedback ^-^ It's really appreciated
For the first time in a long time, I liked a game of this genre! Good music, a variety of opponents and towers, their detailed description is great! If you like the tower-defense genre, you will definitely like this game!
Awn thank you so much, I'm so happy I'm speechless!
I'm really glad you liked my tower defence game, I'm glad to know you enjoyed the music, towers and especially the enemies in it because in the end I had to leave 4 enemies out of my game and was afraid there wasn't enough variation.
Again, thank you so much for the review and for trusting my game enough to give it a try despite the genre, it made me really happy!
Sorry it took me so long to write this!
This game is amazing! I'm a fan of tower defence games and this one has the mechanics well sorted out. I loved having the ability to slow down some of the larger viruses so that I could have more time to take them out, that was a lovely and well balanced mechanic. The tutorial level is a really good tutorial level as well. It doesn't let you get by easily and makes sure you understand the merit of each item.
Overall, I enjoyed this game a lot :)
Ohhh please there's no need to apologise, you dedicated part of your time to play my game and even was sweet enough to leave a comment! You already did so much! (^▽^)
Thank you so much for playing my game, for the review and the sweet compliments on it, I'm really happy you had fun and a good time with it =^ ^= I'm really happy you liked the tutorial because it was the part I most struggled with >_<
Thank you again for giving my game a try \(^_^)/
Cool tower defense hacking game. I'm enjoying the rocket launcher lol
Hi there! Glad you enjoyed :D After the freezing tower my favourite one is also the rocket launcher haha >_<
Wow nice hacking tower defense! good job!
Hello :D Thank you so much for playing and compliment, I really appreciate it ^-^
Fun tower defense game! Loved the sound design and vibe!
Hello :D Thank you so much for playing and for the sweet comment =^-^= I'm happy you had fun
Super impressive package you've put together here. I'm impressive by all the effort you've put into the stuff that goes around the game, the extras menu, it's all really nicely laid out, your itch page is really well put together, you really embraced the whole virus protection theme, sounds are great, it all fits together well visually. Really nice work. I found the game itself a bit too easy, I didn't really have to think about what I was doing, just make sure I have some slow towers spread out, and I only ever let one enemy through. Still, really nice work :)
Hi there! Wow thank you so much for this review!
I was really afraid about how I combined things together in the interface and also the story with the theme since I had issues with the cutscenes that would add more details and make things feel more Connected (no pun intended haha) so reading this makes me feel much better! >_<
About the difficulty I also agree . My first TD received a lot of feedback that it was too hard so as a result this one ended up way more chill and less chaotic than would have liked, I'll add more pressure and challenges in the future to make it more interesting ^-^
Thank you for your kind words and review \(^_^)/
I personally love tower defense games, so i am the target audience for this game for sure! Love the audio in the game from the SFX to the music, the artwork, the level design is different in each level which adds variety and the level difficulty seems to be increased at a good amount. Overall great job! Loved the game!
Hello and thank you so much for stopping by, playing and commenting! ^-^
I'm always happy to find and get a review from fellow tower defence players who likes this type of games just as much as I do >_<
I'm really happy you had a good experience and enjoyed my game. It also makes me relieved to read that you liked how the difficulty increased too since one of my main issues in my first game was the fact that it was too hardcore right from the start haha :D
Once again, thank you for the review and sweet compliments \(^_^)/
Really loved the music, really like the vibe of this game, reminds me of an old flash game I used to play as a kid, really fun game.
Hi there! Thank you for playing and for the sweet comment, I'm really happy you liked the music =^-^=
