Space To Self-destructHi! I've put together a list of my top games from the jam and before I post them on the community section, I'm just checking that you are okay having your game's link on the list?

Prisoners of ConscienceVery fun and engaging, the visuals are great, controls feel nice and the idea is very creative, its one of the more unique takes on the theme I've seen. An amazing job subverting the TD genre, Great work!
If you can, please consider paying and rating my game :)

A-Deadly-PathNice game! It was a unique take on a reverse tower defense and it worked really well! Having to manage both a player and some towers helped add to the strategy of it all and it also gave you something to do at the start instead of just watching a couple of towers, so that was a nice addition. Having to have the lines cross the track was kind of confusing at first, but it made sense after a while - and it was actually really fun once a network of them started building up across the map, and you could just sit and watch the chaos unfold. Of course, some more variety - new towers, upgrades, more enemies etc. would've been nice, but the game, as is, is still very fun.
The graphics were nice too and the particle effects helped show what was happening, because it wouldn't have been too clear otherwise what the towers actually did. Music was good as well, and the sound effects were decent too. All in all, it was an interesting tower defense game, and it works great, so well done!

Wizard Of ChaosYou know, if you'd told me about a reverse Tower Defense game I would have imagined the player being the invasion force, but this is a nice twist as well.
Good job!

Hostage SituationThe game concept is addicting. I've also made a tower defense game, but yours is so much better in terms of strategy.
Unfortunately there is only one level, i wanted to play more.
Good job on making the game though.

UmbraFrostI was bit confused at first but than it was fun. The design was great tho!

Tower BrickThis was a really good interpretation of the theme and the concept was executed well! The gameplay loop itself was also very strategic in terms of placement due to the depth added by where you place a terminal! The towers could have maybe done with some for of upgrades so there are more elements of the game that need to be focussed on at once creating a managing-a-hectic-situation feel like the graphics would seem from as screenshot. Other than that, overall, I really enjoyed playing and the concept was really implemented, I can definitely recommend playing this game!

Prisoners of ConsciencePretty cool! Inverted tower defense, the art was really nice and i liked how the lines covered up the screen at the end, Il say that at the start i was confused about why should i be placing towers, becuase the enemies turned red, i tought it hurted them instead of boosting, so maybe changing the partical effect would help.
good job! :D

BlackoutI love tower defense games, and this is a great twist! The visual design and simple UI immediately drew me in. However, I was confused for about 5 minutes wondering how the core gameplay was supposed to work. The reason for this is that in the tutorial, when placing your prisms, the game does not force you to place them in the indicated boxes. I placed my towers in a more traditional tower defense location, and had no idea the enemies needed to walk THROUGH the lines to get lit on fire.
I would also appreciate being able to see the node's range while I'm placing prisms, with confirmation about whether they'll be powered or not.
I enjoy the speedboost mechanic, it gives me something to do while I'm waiting for more money!
So far my high score is 212, but I hope to keep playing :D
Take a genre (tower defense). Inverse the goal. There you have it, a nice and polished (for a game jam) game that fits the topic!

Last but not leastCool concept :D!
Kept playing the game to get more enemies to the finish. Fun to play and I like strategic games and this has that also.
Visual style was nice too and very coherent throughout the game. Audio fit well also.
Maybe some more tower type options for more strategic decisions.
But enjoyed playing it. Job well done!
