The immersive quality of the music really brought the game to life! It’s great how it’s a slower BPM yet still has such a spine-tingling sound (ツ)ノ
Very fun and engaging and I liked the music too!
Wow! I love the tower defense and the game's design. I had a blast playing! I give it 5/5 stars.
Very nice to play. But I agree that the gun movement is a bit annoying (too slow and frustrating ;-)).
I was able to get to the point where I got much more money that I could spend.
Nice game! To me the gun movement was a bit annoying.
Tower defence type, I would like the gun is a little bit faster to move the aim, or option to get upgrades to the gun and make it faster, etc
Killer music!
Very glad you enjoyed the music! :)
Fun to play, good music and sfx. i think quicker gun rotation would definitely increase the playability. Great entry
Ty for giving props to the music. :)
Nice game concept, but I think it needs more balancing. The slow gun rotation takes away much of the fun. I know there are upgrades, but they feel to weak/too pricey)
Anyways, i think the game has potential! The soundtrack is awesome!
Very glad to know you enjoyed the OST!
I liked the orc sprites, and the concept. The slow gun rotation was definitely a challenge.
I liked the challenge of using the constraints provided. I would have liked the gun to swivel a little fast (or have an upgrade for that... I didn't see one while i was playing).
Interesting game that reminded me of age of war mixed with the zombie survival shooters. some feedback that i think would make the game even better! 1. let the bullets reach the end/indicator for where the bullets reached till. (was confusing for me at first) 2. quicker gun movement (i spent alot of time moving the gun and that made it feel annoying since i was just waiting for the gun to reach the position i wanted it to)
The concept of defending against an orc horde with machine guns sounds like an absolute blast. Really love wave-based defense games like this!
The very slow aiming rotation makes the game challenging, but overall it's fun
Orcs vs The Machine! is a well-crafted defense game, and the upgrade system stood out as a highlight. On the criticism side — besides the gun speed others have mentioned — I found the repair cost pretty punishing in the early game. That said, with enough skill (or stubbornness), you can build up decent gun power.
Once the difficulty curve is smoothed out, this will be an excellent way to kill some downtime. Music and SFX deliver, and I appreciate how distinct the orc types are — readability matters in a game like this.
Now we just need a version FOR THE HORDE.
Ty for giving props to the music. I really enjoyed writing for this game.
now i understand why the titanic happened
are you referring to rotating the gun difficulty? lol
loved your game btw
yes i do lol,thanks
This looks great but it's unplayable. I hear other people say controls are frustrating at first but upgrades come fast... I couldn't get a single upgrade because limited bullets, sluggish aiming, and short range makes it nearly impossible. Which stinks, because it looks like a fun game with great graphics and nice sound.
Pretty fun! Controls are a bit frustrating at the beginning, but you quickly get used to it and upgrades come fast. At the end though I had more money than I could spend, haha.
Great game :) the game rotation should not slow down when it comes to the desired rotation other than that great game :)
Fun game - as already noted, something about the gun speed was a bit off, I think especially as it approached the furthest angles - if enemies got past your defenses you were punished HARD
