Love the graphics! I included it in my Mini Jam 107 compilation video series, if you’d like to take a look. :)

Fun and cute, I loved the look and animation of each tower. I just felt the lack of an outline in the characters, they blend a little with the scenery. Amazing job, the music was really good too, nice job!

It's like a rythm tower defence game that reminds me of the old plants vs. zombies, I love it!

Y'all made this in 72 hours!? That's unbelievable, this was SO fun. I kept playing and playing trying to get further and see what different characters do. It's honestly more fun than the first few levels of Plants vs Zombies, and there's some real strategy behind actually beating it. 

This is a game I would actually buy and play on steam (if it had some more levels of course). The artwork, music, juice, it was amazing. It felt well tuned too, and that's no easy feat for a lil' jam like this.

Y'all are going to be at the top for sure.

Impressive concept dude, I found myself playing this much longer than I thought I would - as I typically don't like tower defense. The way the music is layered together with each tower, and the little synergies (symphonies?) you can do just clicks. Put a quit button in though, you don't need to hold me hostage lol.

I really can’t think of much to say, the music was grand, the character designs were fun and the rules were easy to understand! I found the best strategy to be utilizing music boxes as soon as possible, but still it look 3 tries to win. I love that they produce money to the rhythm of the song.

this is a really cute game, love the animations! one thing tho, i couldn't exit out of the game app without pulling up force quit on mac

Great game, gives me plants vs zombies vibe.

This is my favorite game I've seen so far! The animations are so charming and lovely, and the ui explains itself very cleanly. Was *so* charmed to discover that my dudes were each shooting to their own beat.

It was not an easy feat to get the towers to shoot in rhythm. Thank you for playing and thanks for the kind words!

I didn't submit a game this time so I cannot rate it but it is such a cool concept! I love that if you change the strategy you will get a different sounding soundtrack every time since each turret is an instrument! Awesome game!

Developer

Thank you so much for the kind words! I am happy you noticed how the turrets are connected to the music. It took so much time to get it all working.
