I think it's one of my favorite game in this game jam
I loved the concept and the gameplay work very well, it's very simple, and clear, but yet challenging, so very well balanced, i really liked it !

Definitely needs a tutorial with the game. It took me a while to figure out what I was meant to do, but after I did, it seemed quite enjoyable. The graphics and music are really nice, but the game is just a little confusing to start. Good work!

This game seems like it could've been a lot of fun, but the start seemed rather confusing and unbalanced. It felt like more enemies appeared than your starting towers can handle. They'd die, but not give enough money to buy a tower before the next passed the tower on cooldown so you die over and over until you get a good pattern.

The game's great outside of that though. The simple art style is very charming and I loved the transition between the start screen and the actual game, and the one run I had where I didn't die instantly I had a bit of fun.

Overall still good, but needs some polish.

I love this game!! So strategic and the gameplay is so polished! the click and drag option for lasers is so good and the whole game is just so well made! When I saw that you were defending from TWO SIDES I thought you were super clever! Thank you for making this game!

Some constructive feedback for you- hopefully it is helpful!


Feedback:

-one game I started, I had $62

-if you pause and sell lasers, you can place them back up to reestablish the laser. Not sure if this is intentional, or a bug (definitely did "not" abuse this lol)

-confusing to start. Got a little frustrated with what I was doing. Did not realize the lasers were the actual towers and I could sell the ones I start with. Could use a tutorial screen. 


Overall, this is an amazing game for the time period! I hope you finish it up so I can play some more of it some day!

Thanks for the helpful feedback!

  • Yeah, the playtesting was kinda rushed. And an actual tutorial is missing too...
  • I'm not sure about the money glitch, I'll look into that.
  • And I see found the exploit :D (it wasn't intentional, but I didn't have time to deal with it).

I'm happy to hear you enjoyed the game :)

Haha that last level I would have lost for sure if I didn't find that!

Honestly, this is one of my favorite games from this jam, nicely done!
