Good game! I think there should be a leaderboard for top ranked players
Beating all 100 waves is crazy! If we can figure out netcode or some other global display method then we can consider leaderboards in future projects, sure.
nice work!!!!
I would love your rating to my game!
Thanks, and sure I'll check it out.
Simple but addictive. Drawing works surprisingly good
Glad it felt satisfying, thanks!
I like the notepaper style!
Glad you liked it! We wanted a style that would make the drawing feel intuitive.
Interesting idea, it was fun! Unfortunately, when I built the barricade, I was to the left of it, so I got stuck and couldn't leave the base... hehe
Sorry about that, the wall got implemented late and we just didn't plan and enough around it. Glad you had fun despite that!
Wau this was more fun that it should have been. Please add some more things I can spend resources on.
If we come back to this project there's definitely plenty of ideas we didn't implement. Glad you enjoyed!
Very nice take on "loop" and innvovative ideas!
Thanks for playing and the compliments!
fun little prototype that can be expanded with lots of ideas!
I love that you put this on a notebook background, reminds me of being terribly bored in school or uni and playing little doodle games with my desk neighbors^^ I in general like doing two things at the same time, this sorta split brain stuff with a character and drawing mechanic is a nice example of that!
We certainly had some leftover ideas, so expansion could be on the table. Glad you liked the split focus element. We wanted to add some depth by having more things to micromanage and to keep things from just being a drawing game. I'm happy it seemed to work well!
Fun! Love the art style, very whimsical. My hand definitely got a bit tired from all the circling!
Glad you liked it! Our artist will be happy with all the art compliments.
Using a pen mouse really helps with this game 🤭 Reached wave 14! Enjoyed playing this
Thanks for playing! Nice final score. We would have liked to balance the waves better (and add 2-3 more enemies tbh) but we just ran out of time. After Wave 11 it just repeats that same combination of enemies for 89 more waves.
fun concept and the art is cute
Glad you liked it! Our artist appreciates the compliments.
Fun little tower defense game! I liked the loop mechanic it reminded me of pokemon ranger!! The art is so cute too
The Ranger games were the main inspiration for this. Finding a spin on it and scoping it well was the tricky part, but we're glad people enjoyed aspects of it!
I don' t know if that´s just me, but the circles need to be almost freeky small which gets hard to do with a mouse imo. Might just be me though! Love the tower defense. Wish you could attack the enemy's base.
We tried to find a limited loop size so players don't just circle large chunks of the screen at once, but admittingly we just did not have the time to balance things at the end. It's been a great learning experience and we hope to have more time for that next jam. Thanks for the feedback!
I absolutely understand! Loved the concept tough!
