I was already afraid that the Kaiju has too many lives and that I can't defeat it, when it suddenly died! I won for the second attempt. I think that there should be the opportunity to repair the blue building. Otherwise good music and good game!

Did you work in a team?
One mostly with little help from game designer friend. Really fun experience overall
Was the resolution a challenge?
Really difficult to explain what is happening in the screen, and every action you can perform without using text or tutorials. I used icons for mostly everything but still far from I was hoping.
What did you learn?
I have never worked with isometric maps on Godot before, so that was a first approach to something new. I would really love to dig deeper on isometric games so this was really helpful

This game is great fun with lots of potential for future maps and monsters! Really amazing that isometric can be done so well at this resolution, I didn't realize it was possible before this game.
Wow! Cool style! That game shows how much you can reach with such hard restrictions. Loved it.
The art is decent. The gameplay took a short while to understand the mechanics even after reading the description. I tried to be strategic and hide the building behind the vehicles for defense which seemed to work fine but wasn't able to defeat the enemy. Does the beam always do damage on the blue building regardless of where you place the others on the map?
I saw you say you will expand on this, I think that's a great idea ^^ this is already fun to play even as a simple showcase of the mechanics. I kinda like not knowing how much health the kaiju has, but Id like to have known how much stronger planes were, seen as they hardly attack compared to tanks. Really fun game, interested to see where you'll take it! :)
Congratulations on making this game !
I've played your game during a live that you can watch here :
The live is timestamped so you can go directly to your game.
I hope the feedback and live reactions will be useful. Keep it up !
First time to play I don't know about detail of building. But after playing I think it fun!.
Really cool aesthetic, and overall pretty fun.
It did feel a little weird/unfair with the monster coming at this weird angle and no way to block it at all.
Some kind of strategy or mechanic would have been nice, but currently you just place a few buildings and tanks and then wait.
Holy moly that was intense. I killed the Kaijū with only 4 hp left on my blue building
It took me a bit to grok what was going on and how to build other types of buildings, but once I did I had a great time. I think some sort of tutorial would have been helpful, but it wasn't the end of the world I was still able to win on my first try.
Visually it looks nice, I liked the little bouncing tanks they're cute and the plane and tank shots landing on the Kaijū were satisfying.
Oh and I think I said this on twitter but that is one juicy ass laser beam BRRRRRRRRRRRRR
Nice entry!
Really cool game, I like the art and music. This really feels like it could be a Gameboy game.
really fun game and the art is really cool for 64x64 pixel screen.
good job.
It was not really clear how I could build units but once I figured it out it was a fun experience. I also did not get how the ratio of money gain are for each building, I felt like it was random sometimes, maybe it is? I never managed to beat the kaiju though, it had too much life! I would have appreciated a way to check its health too. Anyway I really enjoyed the game, the style was really neat and the controls even if a bit unclear are really simple and comfortable once learned. Really cool game, good job!
Thanks for playing! Glad you like it and you managed to figure out how to do everything. Yes, the kaiju has a lot of health, 2000 points to be exactly. Tanks do 10 damage and Planes 15. Keep trying haha.
Expert tip: Repair all the yellow houses on the map once (Click + Right click). Build yellow houses in front of the blue house to avoid some damage. Build a red building and when you have the tank, put two and wait for the plane. Keep building yellow houses to make more money, but don’t abuse them.
Thanks again! :D
The music, audio and graphics come together to build tension really well. I will say that for a strategy game it can be really hard to get an idea of if my strategy is working or not with so little feedback from the game about my decisions. The buildings visually taking damage was great though, and definitely served to ratchet up that tension.
I did beat the game but I don't understand the difference between red and yellow buildings really, nor the difference between tanks and planes - other than cost, obviously. I also never figured out how to repair my buildings.
Really cool concept and well executed. You could definitely build this out even more to a really interesting city builder.
Thank you very much! I really appreciate this kind of feedback. There was a lot of doubts about all my decisions during the jam lol so there’s some things that never got fully explained.
Yellow buildings are there as shield mostly, but they generate money over time (4k every X seconds). The red buildings allows you to use the tank & the plane, and has more health to use as cover.
Tanks & Planes are similar, but planes do more damage (5 more damage) and they are difficult to hit.
You can only repair Yellow buildings, you click on them and they will show you the cost of reparation and a hammer icon (Sorry for that icon xD), you haver to right click to repair. The repair costs rise every fix.
Thanks again for playing it :D
