Use of the limitation
The player may change the color of their placed cannons to target enemies of the same color and deal 2x damage, however this means that their cannons will not target enemies of a different color, giving them a risk/reward situation which may benefit them or result in them losing - Thus making them their own enemy.

Cool game and I really enjoyed it! The ability to change colors of the canons also gave it more of a "competitive" sense to want the 2x damage bonus and it's also interesting how it grants a debuff to the player since the canon won't hit enemies of a different color!

This concept was very unique, the only problem I had was that sometimes I felt like cannons didn't target any enemy, I didn't really get if it was supposed to be like that with the changing colors

Hi, swsandra! Thanks for playing and for commenting! There's definitely room for improvement! 😄

Cute game! Relaxing artstyle. I wasn't sure if it was possible to move the camera though? Interesting use of the limitation!

Developer

Hi, alove1999! Thanks for playing and leaving a comment! When you run the game, try clicking on the embed itself or run in fullscreen and try using the WASD keys! 😁

Cool game, like how you implemented the limitation, but you have added more ris factor to normal cannons so people would actually choose the color benefits as you can play even without taking the color bonus.

Awesome art and music though 

Check out my game as well

Nice game! Love the stetic, at first I wasn't understading why the turrets weren't shooting, but after undestand the mechanic I enjoyed it a lot! I used the color changing mechanic but it is true that the easiest way to play is not changing the colors of the turrets

Hey, jaoc1911! Thanks for playing and giving some valuable feedback, too! I'm happy you enjoyed playing! 😄

This game was fun, but really challenging. My only issue is that I would change my turrets to one color, and then I wouldn't be able to make more cannons to deal with other monsters. However, that's probably my inability to strategize coming into play XD. Otherwise a super cool spin on the Tower Defense genre.

Developer

Thanks for your comment, KirbyC900! Thanks for playing and I'm happy you had fun with it! 😄

That was a really good tower defense game. The graphics are beautiful and it was really satisfying destroying all the little monsters.

I understand you did it for the limitation, but not being able to reset the colors of your guns somehow was a bit annoying. Unless I'm missing something?

I was also expecting the game to end at some point, but I guess it just keeps going. I gave up after round 51. If this was a full game with more levels and enemies I would enjoy playing more of it.

Nice work!

Hi kerneliron! Thanks for playing, I'm happy you think it's a really good tower defense game! (This is actually the first TD game I've made!)

Thanks for your suggestion in resetting tower colours - I would have loved to implement this but I didn't to keep the game more tailored to the jam's limitation! - And yes, the game is indeed endless! After round 20 each round the enemies will get faster and grow in number! 😄

Great game, the presentation and 3D visuals looked awesome. Sometimes gameplay could be confusing, but it was still really fun.

Very good game, really enjoyed it, could use some more visual feedback, but overall it is an enjoyable experience!

Hello! I absolutely love tower defenses and yours is a good one.

There is still a crucial problem with the game design of your game.

I just have to skip and not choose a color and I'll just kill them all with the basic color.

Anyway, good job and good luck with your next production.

Hi SAGIII, thanks for playing and your suggestion to balance the game! 😁

Submitted(+1)

You're welcome. Also, it would be nice if we could choose a color for just one tower.

Developer(+1)

Thanks for the suggestion - I would have liked to design it like this but I think it would be less fitting to the "you are your own enemy" theme 😅

Submitted(+1)

Well done, I like how you use the limitation as one of the mechanics to focus on firing the enemy and make it crucial for decision making.

Developer

Thanks, GunArcher - I appreciate your comment! Thanks for playing! 😄

Great job on this!  It's a simple but fun premise that has lots of room for expansion after the jam if you choose to do so, and the level of visual polish on display here is simply staggering!  Well done!  :)

Thanks for your feedback, MyCousinJimmy - I'm glad you enjoyed! 😄
