Nice job man you can add more particle effect or a text score

Developer

Thank you for testing it out! Yes a proper score would be a good idea.

Nice one! I found it real hard to rotate it for some reason, but overall I like the idea and it was a fun game.

Developer

It definitely would need more work to be a viable game. Thanks for playing and rating! :-)

Creating a game in three days is a huge challenge, even for experienced devs. I see potential here. Good job!

Developer

Developer

Thank you for playing and rating! Still needs a lot of work, I know.

Making the game infinite would be more fun, and also adding more buttons to turn and making it easier to see where you are facing would make it much easier to aim.  It also doesn't relate to the theme.

Developer

Thanks for playing and rating! 

It's not good, because I did not get to do everything I wanted. Planned was an upgrade system for the Tower, to upgrade bullet amount, turn speed, health, more guns and other weapons (ultimate weapon should have been a flaming sword to mow the monsters with and for the theme), more different monsters and christmas presents that the monsters want to destroy, that you need to protect, too.

A further view area would also be a good idea, yes.

The simplest thing you can do to make this enormously better is have two buttons that let the player turn left and right. It doesn't feel good to overshoot. And if giving the player more control makes the game much easier, then compensate by having more enemies, and it would be more fun that way.

Developer

This is a feature! You can only turn in one direction or stop, not go back. It should make it a bit more of a challange.

I planned to add more guns (and a flaming sword on one side) to the other sides with updates, to make it easier, while enemies come in faster and stronger. But did not get this far.
