Hello, I really enjoyed this game! The mechanics were a little confusing at first but i suppose that's part of the process.

Interesting game, it exploits mechanics very differently then other reversed tower defense game i saw in the jam, also the dark aesthetic reinforces the concept of being the villain, good job!

Really good idea, but seems like a bunch of mechanics clumped together confusingly (Why does the False Promise tower exist? The description talks about a "special tower" that would improve a unit who is at max health, but I can't seem to find this "special tower"). With polish and explanations, this could be a really great and unique tower defense game.

It exists so it's risk/reward tower as it shoots at random units, if it shoots at a unit that can be upgraded, then it immediately gains that possibility, but if it fires at already upgraded unit it "degardes" it to 1hp, it would make much more sense if there would be more unit types and better UI, i agree.
"Special tower" is named "Victory". Thank you for playing and commenting!

I get the idea behind but I was never able to inflict any damage to the portal.

I would leave some suggestion if I may ;-)
1. it at least looked to me as if I could downgrade my souls from pink to white again? (not sure)
2. Maybe add a possibility to delete / rearange towers

You have to add damage to your units to damage the portal, and rearranging was in the plans, but time constraints made it impossible to add. Thank you for playing and the comment :))

This is a great take on the theme, and I really like the names of the towers along with the music. Great work!

Great game! I like the concept, but it could do with more polishing.

A neat inversion of the typical tower defence gameplay, presented clearly. I could really see this as a Bloons TD style pvp mode!
