This was amazing, finally I got to be the boss instead of the shrine maiden!
The spell construction was awesome fun too :).
Yoooo! Awesome job on getting this made and up for the Jam!
3rd Person/Over The Shoulder is definitely a far different style of game to say, Rail Chase or Jungle Strike indeed :D.
It took my brain a little bit to properly adhere to the control switching on each paddle hit, but once I did I was trucking and scoring like mad :). Feels like the movement becomes harder the more hits (speed/etc) so the challenge was there too.
Only feedback I have would be to look into Physics Materials for the wall/ball colliders - setting friction to 0 and increase bounce - so you can't cease the ball's movement by "steering" hard into the walls :).
I had no idea what I was doing, or how anything worked, sorry. I've never played wordle, so I was out of the loop immediately.
I thought I needed to send the bats to letters to spell something, but I'm not certain how the bats spawned, or what unlocked them - I spent most of the time with only 2 or 3 bats that kept dying.
I'm sure if I knew a little more on how to play I'd have been able to work it out.
Nice tower defense game, I tried the 3rd level 4 times and couldn't win it, either not enough damage to kill the bosses on the waves, or not enough HP remaining on the crystal to weather their attacks.
Made it hard not having an indication of what was coming in the next wave from the different nodes - might be something to add in future. Had to lose to realise one side needed more protection than the other during the waves :).Nice work.
