Hi are you still looking for a team for this game jam? Me along with another programmer and an artist could use someone in the sound design and music department.

I sent you a request on discord, if you're still interested. my ID is _belligerent_

Hey thanks for the feedback, glad you enjoyed the game! Yeah we did use Suno AI for the music but we plan on making our own soundtrack when we update the game again in the future (hopefully). Our idea for the game was combining RTS and Tower Defense with a focus on resource management. Definitely could use a tutorial and more fleshed out mechanics and levels.

If you're still interested you can check the game out again in the future, since this is one we did want to revisit outside of the game jam. 

Thanks for trying out Grid Guardians, Glad you enjoyed it!

Glad you enjoyed it! 

Yeah there are some bugs with this release, but after the game jam is done we'll upload a bugfix and maybe some more levels. Make sure to check it out then if you're still interested!

Hey, thanks for playing our game! Glad you enjoyed the concept and game art.

We did end up rushing the sound design and I may have made the viruses a little too tanky (I tend to get jaded from hitting the same mob a million times when testing). Something we'll try to improve on over time. Thanks for the feedback!

Glad you liked it!

We had a lot more plans for the game but our lack of time and skill caused us to have to abandon some core game ideas and rush the sound design towards the end. We're still trying to establish our rhythm for developing games so that we hit all the important markers. One step (or jam) at a time I guess haha. Thanks for the feedback, we really appreciate it!

Thanks for playing! No yeah, there are still quite a few bugs especially with the tesla coil. The turrets not firing might have to do with the upkeep mechanics, if your blue number reaches over a certain percentage over the current maximum it stops all the towers from attacking, so you need to power down some towers to get things running again. 

That's a good suggestion, I didn't realize that I jumbled up the order for the prices in the UI. Thanks.

Credits to the artists, check the link on our page description.

That's one way to play the game haha, in all honesty, we may have made the HP a bit too high. Thanks for the feedback!

Yeah, we were kind of trying to incentivize coming up with a strategy for choosing cards by making the boss HP much higher. We may have fumbled with the probabilities of the card drops by a bit so Aces were a tad too rare...

The art came from artists here on itch.io, you should definitely check them out using the links in our game page description. We wanted to add more visual feedback and effects but sadly we overestimated our abilities to pull them off given this was our first game jam XD

And yes, I believe we messed up the resolution scaling. Not sure how to know if it works since it worked on our computers so we'll definitely keep it in mind in our next jam. 

Hey, thanks for the feedback though! We really appreciate it :D

Thanks! Appreciate the feedback. The animations are from artists here on itch.io, you should definitely check them out, links in our description. 

Thank you!  It does have a lot of HP haha, but a proper strategy with your card combinations can make the game easy to beat!

Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it :D

Thanks for playing! It's not a boss for nothing haha. But it is easily beatable with the proper strategy, it'll just take some luck and time.

Thanks for playing our game! Appreciate the feedback

Thanks for the feedback! The royalty-free assets we used were from different artists here on itch.io, you can check them out in the description on the game page. 

Glad you enjoyed the concept!  Yeah, we had a lot of ideas on how to make the gameplay a lot more interesting, but we overestimated how much work we could do within 2 days so we had to botch several ideas in favor of completion XD

 Thanks for playing! Yeah me too haha, it was our first time messing with this implementation of bullet pattern generation so we only managed to cook up a few patterns for this short jam.

Thanks for playing it! Glad you enjoyed it.

Thanks! The artwork we used was from the free assets selection on itch.io, you can check them out in the game page where we linked the artists :D

Fun game! the last level is a little tricky but you realize after a few tries that it's actually not that hard. Wish there was more levels xD

I like the aesthetic and despite the simple mechanics it has quite a bit of depth with your strategy in selecting the people you choose to steal from. Overall a solid game, great job!

Thank you! Oh right, thanks for pointing that out haha

Thanks, this means a lot! Glad you enjoyed the game despite it being a short one! :D

Thank you! Also, congratulations on your submission! had tons of fun with it especially trying to climb the leaderboards xD

Thanks! It does have a bit of a difficulty curve haha but we're glad you had fun :D

Super fun game! Can't wait to see the leaderboards updated once people start getting competitive. I like how the custom color of the player is shown in the leaderboards too, gives that extra sense of personal achievement seeing your score, username, and color there.

That was more fun than I was expecting. Great game concept and execution! The color customization and the leaderboards really make it a lot more personalized, great job!

Simple but fun game, I like the enemy AI movement. Wish there was more levels!

Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it, and congratulations as well for completing this game jam! 

Thanks for the interesting review!

Honestly, that's not a bad interpretation haha, I wish we had thought of something like that for our story! Unfortunately, that is a bug with the Webgl version of the game when played on certain browsers. So if you're interested in reading the dialogue you can check it out in a different browser maybe! :D

Thanks! It takes some getting used to if you use wasd more but you'll get the hang of it ;)

Hi there,

I'd love to join your team if you still have space.

I do have experience in software design and development from my degree in computer engineering and my personal projects. My game programming experience is also in Unity from developing our own game with a team of some of my friends (but not for any game jam).
