Solid game! I had a lot of success with the 4, 5, 6 towers, getting up to Wave 67 with no signs of slowing down.
I'm not a huge fan of the additional layer of having to collect coins/dodge enemies, and it would be nice to see a more concrete description of what each tower does.
I had a ton of fun though, completely losing track of time!
I know from experience that tower defense games are hard to make for jams, so good job.
It was fun to try and figure out the optimal strategy, though the game was a bit hard at first. I'm not a huge fan of enemies detracting coins when you run into them, but it's really cool how the mouse moves around with WASD and has to go around obstacles. The towers are neat, but 2 and 3 seem like the only ones that are super good. But all-in-all I had a lot of fun playing it!
Definitely, something we just didn't consider in development but luckily it can be a fun and exciting experience to roll and see what happens. We'll include this in an update if our team decides to work on it more!
Wow, we greatly appreciate all the praise and criticisms you offered here. The "endless" nature of the game is not all that and you are right about it lacking a boss battle in the jam build. Our priorities were aimed towards executing the concept while the difficulty and content being made with a 3 minute playtime in mind. The player visibility and hitbox sizes will almost definitely be adjusted in a future update if we make it. All around you made great points and observations which makes me really happy that you wrote it all out for us. Thank you!
We definitely were tempted to change the dice throw, but when we started experimenting with diagonal throws and bank shots off the wall/enemies, it was just too fun to get rid of and added a nice sense of mastery to the "unruly" throw. Did you ever try those tricks while playing and did it make any difference for you?
I got the hang of the trickshots eventually, and they certainly make it easy to place a tower in a specific location that is far away from you. Though it does make slightly moving towers or trying to reroll them while keeping them in the same spot more difficult. Being able to push the dice maybe would make small adjustments to existing towers easier while still requiring mastery of the bank shots to place them otherwise. Overall the dice throw is still very fun, though!
