Cool endings, little hard to aim at the goats jumping, but I might just be bad. I liked your art btw.
Awesome game, was simple yet really effective gameplay and nice story.
Pretty much nailed everything, the only thing I could think of was maybe not despawning current and starting a new wave until after all monsters from the wave have been killed. But that is a minor thing.
Well, for a game with cute graphics and nice sounds, that got dark quickly. Really fun.

Solid game! It was very well put together, and the story was touching. The mechanics were also very cool, not just being able to adjust the angle but also having a neat charging meter. Overall I enjoyed it a lot and I thought it fit the theme was very nicely. Great job!
Thank you so much! This is fixed in the new version, it will be released in few moment!

A simple yet fresh approach to the wave defense genre.
With a sweet story and relatable characters (father protecting his daughter from monsters), the mechanics are simple yet effective, providing a bit of challenge with the reload of stones and the multiple enemies approaching at different heights and speeds.
Big kudos and bonus points for making the art yourself, abdo97z

I had fun with this one, solid mechanics and nice story cutscenes. It feels reminiscent of the old flash games of the early 00s!

No I am not annoyed at the lack of skip button.
Creepy text saying I am watching you is creepy :P
Is 11the a typo? :)
Goats are annoying :P.
SFX is really important :), listening out gave me a heads up who is coming, nice touch.
Read a few of the other feedbacks, and your new upcoming update and it sounds like you've nailed and hit most of the bugs.
Just checking if you got the full screen on, as the screen size was very small for me.
Love the disturbing underlying tone in the post death scenes etc, hope to learn more in your update when I might get further :)
Great work, really engaging, had me playing it through a few times to try and learn more.
I am glad you are not annoyed even though it was intended to not make a skip for that scene :)
I am glad you liked the game overall and the sounds, I am sure you will like the updated game more since it combines all the feedback I have got from all the players with even more features!
There is a fullscreen button in settings and it is working correctly according to feedback, is it working correctly for you?
Thank you so much! your feedback is very detailled and useful, You absolutely are going to like the update ^.^
This is the size of the window I get on Safari and Firefox.
I click fullscreen button bottom right (the classic Itch one) it just takes my window bar away at the top.
I come to settings in get and click here, nothing changes (when I exit settings the music/SFX changes happen, but nothing to full screen).
Not sure why it's just me, maybe its a Mac thing :D
This is weird, I have no idea why this is happening since this problem was only with itch.io fullscreen button, while in game fullscreen was working fine. I will check the export settings maybe there is something there :)
ahhh! I now try the in game full screen button FIRST, and that works.
Going to the itch fullscreen meant the in game one didn't work.
Issues resolved :)
