Cool twist on the tower defense genre, I like having to manually trigger the traps. I just wish there was more traps in the middle path lol, that lane was hard to defend. But overall I had fun, congrats on your game! :)

Actually, you don't have to defend the fire. The enemies are on death row, so eventually they will burn in fire. Here, your goal is to maximize the pain to get as high pain points as possible with traps + fire.

It's a great tower defense. Maybe add a shop would be a great ideia!

Developer

Yeah, I too thought that. A shop for buying more traps.

The idea is really cool! It could use a bit more SFX when using the traps, but I really liked the death VFX. I also had a bit of trouble understanding that the enemies had to be taken into the fire. Just one question: if we kill them earlier, doesn鈥檛 the score count?

Ah, I just noticed you used a depth fade for the ground effect on the screenshot. Unfortunately, we can鈥檛 access the depth texture in WebGL, which is really a shame.

Developer

Yeah, I too noticed that. It there a work around for using fade in webGL?

I did some research to find a solution and came across this thread. Basically, it suggests adding the following lines in your shader:

#if !UNITY_REVERSED_Z
depth = 1.0f - depth;
#endif.

That should fix the problem.

Thanks for exploring!!! Let me test this.

The score is pain points, so if you use traps - it will case pain - you will get pain points. So, fire & traps are both pain causing agents.

1. If enemy falls in fire, you will get very high pain points. So basically use as many traps as possible on the enemy and make the enemy falls in fire with as low health as possible to max out pain points.

2. If the enemy dies early (before falling in the fire), you will miss out the fire pain points.

A bad ending for our mortal enemies specifically, I like this idea!

Fun to give them pain (:<

Going to add animation, pain sound and other effects. (Didn't get time to add it during jam but will surely add it in coming weeks)

Nice concept and presentation!

The only issue for me is that there seems to be cases where the enemy is simply impossible to kill by the time it reaches the end, even with optimal play.

Developer(+1)

Thanks for the feedback. There are 3 lanes on the bridge and each lane has the spike trap on the floor, plus xbows to hot the enemy. All the traps are in yellow color.

Not sure if it was conveyed properly, that the enemy will die in the fire eventually at the end. The player's goal is to make the enemies reach the end with as low health as possible for maximum pain to the enemy (basically, make them suffer more without easily killing them). You get extra pain points for doing this.

Oooooh! Now I get it. Sorry!
I was for some reason playing it with a tower defense mindset. As if the fire needed defending...

Meaning any enemy reaching the fire counted as a failure of mine for me.

I did understand that all the yellow things were activatable but even still there were times when you you couldn't kill the enemies before they reached the fire.

Which makes sense. Since you're not supposed to kill them...

I think it wasn't an issue of the game. I'm just stupid sometimes :D

Developer(+1)

Same, I was also stupid 馃槄 to not have added more details in the game start page itself. Anyways thanks for pointing it out, I will take care in the next game jam.

Don't worry. It's probably impossible to make instructions  fool proof enough to be understandable for sleep deprived devs with little time and 50+ games to rate :D
