How does your game fit the theme?
There is a BLACK HOLE disrupting and cause defense towers to malfunction and be placed randomly! Also your ship's main cannon is on the fritz and shooting wacky. It's all OUT OF CONTROL~

Really cool interpretation of the theme! Great job!
Thanks for playing :D
Of course! We'd love your feedback on our game as well. SpaceBus
Pretty nice interpretation of the theme, even if it is out of control, you still have to defend with your ship until the end so it's well balanced, and music fits really well, great job ^-^
Glad you liked it and thanks for playing! :D
nice and fun, good job!
Thanks!!
Really fun! You being a turret is a great idea! The only thing I would change is some kind of balancing system. Example: The more turret you have, the less bullet you can shoot.
Oh that's a really cool concept! Thanks for playing and the suggestion :D
This game makes me go YES!
YES! XD
A tower defense game where you're a turret, awesome idea! I think that more, weaker enemies could give the player a sense of power and juice that the game was currently lacking. This has a lot of potential for you to add screen-shake, particle effects, and post-processing to really make it pop.
Oh that's a great suggestion, more things to go boom! haha Thanks for playing :D
Very nice game. One of the few game-jam games I played to the end. You should continue development and release it as a mobile or browser game. Some suggestions might be to change the tower's sprites to make them more distinguishable from the stars, Also, I think you should make it harder and add more enemies and powerups, etc.
Wow thanks for playing until the end :D I do want to work on this some more for sure, thanks for the suggestion!
Nice game mate. Made it to the end on my first try :)
Oh hey~ Awesome! I will update it later with some harder content :D Hopefully haha. Thanks a bunch for playing!
I did not expect to find a concept similar to tower defense games, so I was surprised by your idea since I love these types of games. I managed to finish it by getting 8050 points =) great job mate!
That's a great score :D Thank you for playing all the way through!
At first i thought I'd lose after one minute, but once I was used to controls and players speed I made it to the end: 8300! Very good game, I had much fun :)
That's awesome! I'm glad you had fun and thanks a bunch for playing!
It's me :) I knew I had to play your game and I was right to do so. Amazing game my friend! one of the best I've played in this Jam! Highly addictive!
Oh hey Grizzli!! I will play your game tomorrow for sure (gotta sleep now , work tomorrow XD) Do you have a new YouTube video coming out soon? Thanks a bunch for playing!!
I really wish to upload something about my experience this Game Jam. I haven't started yet though. I noticed you posted something new. I will watch it in a minute after I write this :)
Cool! yeah I made a tangent devlog haha, cut it down as much as I could XD
nice fun game, i can only think what if it was made with lot time to spare. it was satisfying when i just had to collect the money and let the tower do their thing
I'm glad you found it satisfying :D Thanks for playing! I hope to work on it some more~
It was a very fun game only got a score of 7400 tho but i enjoed it, only feedback i have or this is my personal preference, is to not scale up ur pixel but to keep all pixel the exact same size :)
Oh hey Wuzzy! Thanks for stopping by :D That is true haha. I will update the sprites later for sure, I did the lazy method to make them look a bit different hehe.
Honestly had a lot of fun with this game. Even though it kept with the theme it never really got overly frustrating because of a few strategies that'd typically work, it in fact sort of helped in minimizing a little bit of thought processes by having the towers be placed randomly.
Very nice and polished looking game, I really liked it!
I'm glad you had fun, that is a good point! Thanks a bunch for stopping by and playing :D
My favorite part was the enemies! I never knew what was gonna come from the portal next. I especially like the big yellow guys. They had a neat mechanic
I'm glad you liked them! I hope to think of some other cool enemies~ let me know if you have and suggestions :D
This was a lot of fun! I love tower defense games and this was a fun twist.
By the end, I felt a little like my puny ship wasn't really contributing compared to my army of towers. I wonder how the player can remain more relevant to the action. Maybe you can go to towers to upgrade them, or help defend them against an enemy that's attacking? Maybe the player's gun just needs to get stronger over time? Maybe some enemies drop huge money piles that disappear after a short amount of time, so you have to zoom quickly over to the good drops? I think there's lots of potential.
Thanks for the great feedback and comment! Those are some great suggestions for sure! I'll add them to my notes :D
This was fun to play. It was a little repetitive at times and I didn't like how you could get stunned infinitely by a row of enemies. But otherwise, it was really good! Please give my game a try too :)
Thanks for playing! I added you game to my play list :D I do need to add an immunity frame after getting stun XD
A really nice take on the tower defense genre! This had really good enemy variance, and I especially loved the flying enemies skipping large parts of the track; the wave difficulty was great too, with some waves never making out of the black hole, and some being chased down to inches of the end. Ultimately, I stopped every single one, but they put up a good fight!
I would have loved to see the game be a bit longer, with different tracks and upgrades throughout, but for a game jam, this is an excellent submission!
Thanks for the awesome comment and I'm glad you enjoyed the game :D I hope to take peoples suggestions/feedback and improve it and make it longer~
8350 is my high-score
Overall a great submission, reminds me of X-Morph Defense (a game I loved)
Audio + art created during the jam too! Keep up the good work
Thanks a bunch!! That might be the best score I've seen! I just googled that game, it does look cool/intense haha
