Solid concept! Getting parts and creating your towers is very interesting. We would need the information on the parts to be accessible directly when we create the tower, and it is hard to know which part goes to which slot. Maybe an icon system.

Well done!

Developer

Thank you for your feedback! I will improve all of that!

This is a great twist to a TD game! I would love to see it in a bigger setting. The theme is a little weird but very fun. xD The drag-drop didn't really work so well though, I don't know why - when I dropped a part on the slots, it just went back to inventory. With a bit of polish, I'd spend a lot of time here! :D

Thank you soo much! I will actually make this into a bigger game with multiple levels and upgrading and stuff! 

Submitted(+1)

I’ll be back to play it. :D

Developer

Thank you! That's really nice. :)

The concept is amazing and a solid base for a larger game. The one critic I have is maybe have the stats for each card on the card themselves as with the type of card maybe having a different border color? That and having a deck for your towers might make things more intuitive. Other that that it's very enjoyable, great work!

Developer

Thank you for the suggestions!

Really interesting concept and great gameplay quality audio design and a funny and unique story. Great spin on tower defense games. Keep up the good work!

Developer

Thank you so much! I'm actually planning to make a full version of this game, with improved gameplay,artstyle, music, more levels and so on!

Submitted(+1)

Yeah, I feel like if you differentiate yourself from all other tower defense games with the tower building mechanic then this could actually work.

Developer

Thank you! :)

Took to me a long time to discover that I had to drop the cards on the right (lost 3 or 4 matches until that) but once I discovered it I played for a while and it’s very nice, the music is god, is yours? Great game!

Developer

Yes, i made that music myself, thank you so much! :) The drag and dropping is a bug, but based on this little prototype i'm planning to make a full game :)

Submitted(+1)

Love the music and its a cool idea sometimes the cards wouldn't place though but great game! :)

Developer(+1)

Thank you, that's a bug i didn't know how to fix, try dropping the cards on the right side of the slots, that works...

Submitted(+1)

Cool game! Great sounds! But I spent so much time on placing a card into a slot :)

Hope you can play my game, too! -> https://itch.io/jam/scorejam17/rate/137957

Thank you! Will be checking your game out later!

Great job on the card and tower defense combo! Really like the idea of combining random parts into your towers instead of pulling from a fixed set :D!

Impressive amount of content for short time. good stuff

Submitted(+1)

The idea of mixing card games and tower defence ones is very interesting. In spite of this, I feel that the game itself didn't leverage enough on it, but given that it was created in three days it's totally fine

Developer

Thank you!

Really impressive amount of work, especially just a few days!

The game concept was unique and fun.

I like the visuals, did you do the art yourself?

Nice job :D

Developer(+1)

Thank you so much! I am glad you enjoyed it. I personally am really bad at art, my friend LeaDieWalnuss made it for me (link in the description). We worked on the game together. :)

Submitted(+1)

Same with the art, that's why most of my games involve circles and squares :D

Good luck with the jam!

Developer

Thank you, i will rate your game now, it actually looks pretty good!

Submitted(+1)

Enjoyed this game! I like that you can customize your tower, and the music was great. I think it might be cool to have the ability to add cards to existing to level them up.

Developer

Thank you!

Submitted(+1)

Having the ability to customize your own towers is a really fun and unique concept.  Controls could be made smoother plus I think the black path of the enemy is hard to see against the dark background. All in all, though, it's a really fun game with a neat concept.

Developer

Thank you so much!

I'm impressed with what you got with this little time. 

You should definitely keep developing this game, make interface more readable - tower fire rate, damage etc., immediately on screen.

Crafting in TD game is something new, should be more accessible in this game, cause every player would just build the towers with the parts from chest, and place it without thinking on his own.

At first just fix the bug with drag'n'drop and sounds playing after losing. :D

Really big potential to make something bigger, really cool concept.

Developer

Thank you so much, i was already planning to make this into a bigger game, with multiple levels, a better card system and more.

Submitted(+1)

This has a lot of potential to be really fun! It's kinda fun right now, but a little slow and buggy. I could not place cards. I had to refresh. It seemed like the towers could hardly keep up. Maybe just a balancing issue. The concept of combining cards to make towers is really cool! Nice work!

Developer(+1)

Thank you so much for your feedback! These i think are the two main issues with the game, the drag and drop bug and the balancing. But i will probably keep developing this concept further.

Developer

IMPORTANT: IF DRAG AND DROPPING DOESN'T WORK FOR YOU, TRY TO DROP THE CARDS ON THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE MATCHING SLOTS

Hahaha I wish I saw this before starting.  I got there eventually.  Once I figured out the collision, it was pretty cool.  I felt a little lost about what did what in the heat of the roomba rampage, but it was fun. :)

Developer

Thanks!
