I like the game. It's a simple tower defense. Nice that you can choose between different bullets. It does feel a little slow though. It's fun to play when doing something beside it, but it doesnt keep you very actively engaged, because it's quite slow. Well done for the fact that you only had 30 days and 2 people!

nice game! add more type of tower or ability will add more replayability.

Cool game! I love the interesting design of the maps with various tiles! I've played the middle level, but I can't get past the first wave in the US. Also, adding an ability to change the existing turrets would be nice, as well as seeing how much the turrets cost.

Very cute and I really love tower defense games. the visuals are nice. my only comment is lack of content though that’s to be expected. for a first submission ever? very nice!

i think the little bit of interactivity is nice. switching between freeze and fire once theyre slowed down nice. only thing is that freeze can make the round go REAALLLY slow if you dont have turrets set up everywhere. cool game though. i say lean into the active gameplay decisions.

Developer

Thanks for playing our game!❤️

Can you explain a bit more on what do you mean by active gameplay decisions?

We do plan to add lots of other stuff like mixing colors, turret upgrades and much more and (hopefully)release a v2 after jam ends. 

If you would like to, you can follow along the features we have planned to add in the github repo(maybe have a suggestion or two).

the active game decisions for me were that i was able to switch ammo mid run. like from freezing enemies to the using the same turret to burn the enemies or poison them once they were frozen. it felt like i had more decision making power that effected my success in the game! just some things to do during the wave other than building the towers kept me playing!

Developer

Ok, got it!

The game is a lot of fun at first, but I think it lacks interactivity, because once all the turrets are set up and the bullets is selected correctly, there is nothing else to do in the game.

Developer

Thanks for checking out our game!

Initially, we had plans to include lots of stuff like ability to mix colors for different status effects, different enemies, shop, etc. But we clearly over-estimated our abilities. :P

I like the theme combo of waves of enemies + wave-themed attacks. It took me a bit to figure out, but once it clicked I had fun figuring out ways to chain different attack types together.

So that's what the winter map is for! ... familiar Kenny asset

Hehe, yeah. I also wanted to use desert pack but time ran out...

Cool game, I like the art! Would love more turret locations, and upgrades to make it more interesting! 

Developer(+1)

Thanks for playing our game!❤️

Yeah, I agree that we need more of everything. Initially we did plan to have lots of things, but we clearly over planned for our first time.

We are planning to do a v2, after the jam ends.

P.S.: I played your game Sona, it is a very lovely game! Kudos to you!

Submitted

Ah awesome, I gave your project a star to follow along :)

Thanks for checking out Sona, I appreciate it!

Art is amazing, audio too. Gameloop is pretty fine though, but i would like to have some upgrades on turrets, after a while my money had no purpose anymore than the score

Developer

Thanks for checking out our little game!

Yup, I agree with what you are saying. We did plan to have shop, color lab, upgrades, etc. but we didn't got a chance to do all that.

If you would like to, you can follow along the progress for v2 version and maybe also add any suggestions you have in the github repo.

I played about 11 waves of snowy tower defense but when I calculated how much waiting it would take to finish the game (20 waves multiplied by the number of locations) and seeing there  as no new type of tower or new mechanic, I figured I had seen everything the game has to offer and stopped playing. I lacks a bit of variety or extra spice, but as a standard tower defense, it's very solid.

Developer

Thanks for playing our game!❤️

Yeah, you are right. It does get monotonous after the initial setup.

We did plan to add turret upgrades, shop, etc. but since this was our first time making a game we had lots of learning to do :P (which was fun not complaining) and we clearly were not prepared for adding all the features we initially decided.

We do plan to(hopefully) build a v2, you can follow the progress or add your suggestions in the github repo if you want to. Nonetheless, thank you once again for playing our game!

This is a great tower defense game, but is it endless?

Although the BGM comes from the public domain, you can choose them, which is also worth appreciating.

:D

Developer(+1)

Thanks for the kind words!

No it is not endless, right now you have 4 maps each having 20 waves.
But we can have an endless mode too in the future!

Submitted(+1)

It is a good game, I have tried all maps (I think). Just I want to know how much waves are on a map? :D

My only problem was, that maybe the reset button should always be in the menu and not just when we lost the game.

Thanks for checking out the game!

Right now, there are total 4 maps with each having 20 waves.

reset button should always be in the menu and not just when we lost the game

We will try to add this in the next update, thanks for the suggestion!
