- GDD had the wrong theme in its overview. When I ended the day, the game is too dark to see the shadows and you cant see the direction of what you are suppose protected from the shadows, so you keeps losing lives. Also I dont see any alchemy part during my play session.

Casual and I really enjoyed working on this project and learned so much about game dev. There were so many things we put a lot of work into, but didn't get to add. For the time we had to work on it we are very proud of what we made and hope to continue working on GNH. (like giving it a better title)
Extra Notes
Our game is a tower defense focused on using light sources to be able to place gnomes and attack shadows. Players need to use strategy with the placement of our structures so they can survive the waves.

Really nice that you managed to create a tower defense game in the limited time we had. You even managed to have a working skill tree with an unlockable new tower and new campfire. I only couldnt figure out how to place the blue campfire.
I love the sinister feel you get when you click "next wave" and everything goes dark (except for your campfires). Cool game!
I love the gnomes! I had a hard time figuring out where to place objects to be effective and couldn't figure out how to place down a tower. I like the concept though. Great start!
Nice game, it's a bit hard to understand where the shadows will come and how to get gnomes there but after a couple of rounds I got it.
I also found a bug when clicking on the tower during night time, the day started and I wasn't able to close the tower screen again.
Good job!!!
Thank you. We really wanted to get a tutorial in but it had to be cut due to timing. We haven't ran into that bug but i will look into it!
