Didn't quite understand what was going on in my first run, but managed to wake up (thrice) in the second. Should've looked at the known bugs since I was definitely trying to play really fast and some of the cards went haywire haha.

The design of the game is quite elegant, although there seems to be one clear dominant strategy. I had fun with it. One small suggestion would be to indicate that the player can't wake up just by the depth, because I tried rushing that and it kept saying "Can't Wake Up" and no explanation why.

The art pieces of the cards and enemies is really cool, was enjoying looking forward to what kind of a monster shows up next! I think some interface adjustments would help showcase the art better and also explain the game nicely.

Smooth controls and awesome art! Some of the later messages in the mirror are interesting to say the least...

Damn, this is pretty badass

Nice work!

Amazing! This is a great initiative and has some really spectacular pixel art!

We're sorry about the bugs... :( Not really sure how it happened, since it was working smoothly in scratch... but we still hope you enjoyed!!! c:

Thanks for playing our game!

Thank you so much! Very happy that you tried and enjoyed our game.

Thanks for playing, glad to hear you enjoyed it!

Thanks for trying and for all the feedback!

Really nice game, the art and music especially created a beautiful underwater ambience.

Awesome game! Simple but as juicy and enjoyable as possible - 5/5!

Absolutely hilarious! I have always enjoyed games like these and this is a stylish, classy and really well executed one. Great work, congratulations!

Oops! That shouldn't have happened, thanks for letting us know!

Oh, I see! Yeah, there were a bunch of restrictions and suggestions they added afterwards :\

Awesome! Will take a look for sure!

Thanks! Personally, I like playing the Versus mode just by myself too. The game mode is slower at first so you can actually coordinate well enough with both characters.

Nice game, it feels really polished! I was puzzled about the name and it only hit me after I was done playing. 

Really interesting game but I found an exploit where I could move while infinitely performing an exorcism.

Also, I sort of went outside the map and couldn't get back in.

Really nice work on the art and story though, congratulations!

Interesting game but I'm unsure if the smooth camera movement is valid for the Lospec Jam... I like the aesthetic going on in the environment, very cool!

Not too harsh? I felt like I reached almost the top most area but then fell down all the way into oblivion... I don't think I have ever raged this much hahaha.
Nice and simple game, well made!

Funny game, the skeletons were my favourite!

Nice game, I was spawning right on top of turrets or enemies often though.

As far as I could tell, you have to plant the thorny seed in order to be able to plant a bridge seed.

Awesome work, the art, music and controls were really nice and polished. The bubble shooting concept was really cool. Tiny bug I encountered was that some of the enemies sometimes got stuck mid-air:

Congratulations on making a great game for this jam!

Great work! It was fun to play this game, I like the art and thought the level design was fantastic. Found a couple of small invisible colliders in some random places (screenshot below is one). 

I would suggest making the game a bit faster by increasing the walk and jump speed. The wall jump took a little time to get used to. 

Overall, I had a good time playing it!

Nice work - looks great and plays smoothly!

Thank you! Good point about the rotating pixels, I have a pixel perfect camera to fix it but it was giving some issue with the resolution. Perhaps I can fix it after the jam. Appreciate your feedback!

Thanks for playing, glad you liked it.

Thanks for playing it! And you're right, it's the embedded window of the web version even though I have checked the "force fullscreen" option. 

I think it goes against a jam's spirit to have material already prepared. Besides, the theme hasn't even been decided yet.

Thanks for the feedback swoopie! I agree that the mechanic is cumbersome, I wanted to tune the level design to make it flow a bit smoother. This was a part of the 3 hour Trijam, so I really didn't get to spend a lot of time on it. The bugs you mentioned seem to be a WebGL issue, they're all resolved in the Windows build. I really appreciate you taking some time out to play and give feedback for this game. Thanks!

I had published the game at that time by mistake haha...
It's now functioning properly, thanks for pointing that out!

I enjoyed the story and liked the roguelike format that Tecnotupa has. It was a bit difficult at times to enter rooms that were in the bottom right or bottom left.

I would love to see more progress in this game - more abilities, more enemies, more areas. Keep it up and keep me posted!

Hello Hynt Studios!

I played your game today and had a fun time doing so. I think Last Stand solves an important problem in Tower Defense games - it makes the player have an active role in the game while the waves of enemies are attacking. The concept of attaching and recharging batteries is really good.

While playing your game I felt the pacing could be improved a bit - the introduction cutscene was nice but it felt slightly long (I couldn't wait to start the game). This feeling carried on later in the game too, I was completing the levels (or days) pretty quickly and was eagerly waiting to get a new tower or ability.

I had a good time with the game, it kept me on my toes. All the upgrade options were interesting and felt nice to have as a player. 

A couple of very small notes I made while playing:

• The robot keeps moving when the day ends and reaches the edge of the map. When the next day starts, I have to bring the robot back to the middle from the end of the map.
• The music was great, but the voices were being repeated a bit too much. Either some more variety or some more space between voice effects would be nice. 
• Sometimes the sprite sorting would be a bit weird and sprites which are supposed to be behind are shown on top (happened mostly with the robot and the batteries).

Overall, Last Stand is definitely a unique take on the tower defence genre. The gameplay and UI is polished well, and everything works together nicely. I will be playing it some more and maybe be back with some more feedback. Congratulations and keep it up!

Hello, I played your game today for a bit and it was a wonderful experience!

The platforming controls were very smooth and the story was quite interesting. The standout for me was the audio (the music, ambience and voice acting was awesome!) and the fire guardian chase scene (it was intense and very well executed). The music and ambience gets an extra shoutout for being really great - both in the levels and in the menu. 

The introduction was very well written (and voiced) but the in-game dialogues need some more proofreading and editing, as I found some grammatical and spelling errors. Note: this is only for English.

The level design was good, in terms of the puzzle-platforming parts. However, in a few areas I felt that the walls were a bit too crammed and I wasn't getting the space to properly move or jump without unintentionally bumping into walls.

I had noted some very minor issues which can be fixed/improved: 

• The falling leaves in the background of the main menu are nice, but sometimes they disappear abruptly. I actually have a very similar particle system in my game and I gradually decrease their opacity over time. Another option is to shrink them over time.
• When I held the down arrow key, the footsteps sound was playing constantly even though the player wasn't moving.
• While trying to use the level up points, the arrows shoot when I'm clicking on the menu. You can disable attacks while that menu is open.
• Enemies can be heard from off screen, this sometimes confused me. Maybe you can use 3D audio to make it more faint.
• Some weird animation issues when I was pushing the boxes around (sometimes it played in slow motion and sometimes too fast).
• The fire guardian boss dropped too many potions, it was a bit too easy.

These were all very tiny things that I noticed in my playthrough. Overall I enjoyed the game immensely and will be going back to it to finish it till the end! 

Congratulations on making the game!

Lovely game! Very enjoyable!

Thank you so much! Absolutely, we'll be looking forward to your video!
