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~

Great looking game, really fun idea and gameplay. One think that I didn't like is that the ship projectiles where a little slow and somtimes could not catch up with the enemie.
Thanks for playing! I will definately adjust that and add ship power ups too!
Uu ship power ups would be a great idea!
First, this game was incredibly polished, so well done there! This was also a unique take on a tower defense that I could really get behind. Not having to think about the towers or their placement really put a bigger focus on the action, which is a nice change of pace for such a genre. I think my only critique would be that there is really no reason to save up on gold, as each tower costs 5 each time. Maybe a system where different towers cost different amounts, and triggering a tower with that amount of gold would place that kind of tower? Just a suggestion. That and upgrades to the ships gun itself would be fun, since thats where most of the gameplay is. Seriously though, well done!
Thanks for playing and the awesome comment! That is a great idea~ i will add it to my notes :D
Great tower defence style game. Loved the visuals!
Thank you~~
Amazing game, love the interpretation of theme.
A tower defense game in which you don't control the placement of the towers. That is a pretty interesting premise. The art and the music were nice as well. Though, I did notice that on one of the spots near my planet there were two towers placed on top of each other. Also, the enemies had a lot of health; not making the player feel powerful, but that might have been your intention.
Even though it took strategy out of it, I liked that the towers were placed at random because it pushed the player to just collect as many coins as possible as well as participate in the battle. It would have been too much if there was another strategy element on top of what the player already has to do. I'm super impressed with the game and the fact that you made everything during the 48 hour time slot. Good job!
Great game! I loved the sci-fi visuals, the sound effects are nice and the tower defense gameplay was very enjoyable!
Awesome game, nice job! :)
I love how your base slowly turns into a murder machine as you get more and more turrets. That being said, having towers/placement being completely random takes the strategic element out of the tower defense, so it would be nice if there was some way the player could interact with it. Maybe allowing the player to upgrade towers of their choice?
Hrm.. I may have missed it, but i cant seems to skip the intro.
But still nice TD! kinda different in a way! Keep it up!
Nice game! I think the tower-defense aspect is very interesting when the control is taken partly away from you, good job :]
Really enjoyed playing this game! Solid idea and well executed!
this is such a nice game! very easy to understand and a lot of fun to play. I loved the music and the art a lot :D my only suggestion would be little more feedback when an enemy was hit, so you feel more powerful when you do it :D i abolutely love the game - great job!!
Had a lot of fun playing this, you highlighted what was imporant, having fun!
Thanks for the awesome comment :D
Cool game, would have liked to have a bit more control, maybe having the ability to move the towers after they're placed, so there's a risk/reward to that. Good job!
Oh that's a great idea! figuring out the code took most my time XD(novice coder) I hope to add more to it later!
I'm so happy you played to the end thanks :D
That was real nice, always like a Tower Defense. Nice variety of enemies too. Nice implementation of the theme! Congratulations!
Thanks a bunch for playing it :D
Fun little game! I felt like the player's ship was shooting a bit too slow, though. It got better once I placed more towers. Nice work!
Thanks! I hope to add ship upgrades someday~
One of my favorites! Looks great and it has a lot of potential, good stuff
Thanks!! I'm super happy you liked it :D
Takes a bit of getting used to but really fun! As the waves increase in intensity it would be nice to have an option to either get a turret or a "random upgrade" for 10s, as the random turrets can struggle with the big enemies
Oh that's a cool idea, thanks for playing and the feedback!
Pretty decent tower defense! One problem I see with it is that when you position your ship on the track and one of the aliens touches you, you can become immobilized for a really long time (as you get out of the stun, you get hit by another alien, and it continues until the track clears). It might be good to give the player a few seconds of invulnerability after recovering. Other than that, a really solid entry. I like it. ;)
Yea that's a great idea! I will study how to code that XD
