This is a great one! I feel this game perfectly displays the 8x8 Game Jam ideology through its art! 

The difficulty took a bit to ramp up but holy moly did it ram up by the end haha! I got to 21 and just got pounded!

Maybe another turret to work towards would be a good addition!

Overall loved it!

Thanks, glad you like the art! The wife is the artist in our team, but for this game, I was able to flex my programmer art on the critters. I'll hopefully get a chance to update this game at some point, and will definitely add some more turret types. We look forward to checking out your game!

As a PvsZ fan, I like this. Only bear in mind that after the 3er level it becames too easy to win!

Edit: Nevermind they absolutely destroy me at level 16

Hah, yes! I had initially wanted to do a traditional tower defense, but started working on the jam too late. I remembered PvsZ was just a straightforward right-to-left wave, so definitely was inspired by it. Looking forward to checking your game out later today!

Awesome game! The presentation is great and everything seems to work so well together! :D I absolutely love the artwork, the cute lil frog is just so :3 and i love him lol. However, about after wave 5 it just didn't really seem like much of a challenge anymore, so maybe some difficulty curve?

All in all, I greatly applaud you for your very first game submission, amazing entry!

It took a bit to ramp up in difficulty but it really takes off near the end haha I got swarmed!

Hehe, thanks, the frog if one of my faves as well (the other being the crab). I'd definitely like to improve the game down the line and optimize the difficulty. Looking forward to checking your game out later!

Tower defense it's been a long time since I've seen them! From the pros, I can note cute enemies, and from the cons, coins do not accumulate over time. Please rate my game if you want.

Developer

Thanks! :) I loved playing tower defense back in the days, and happy to hear you like the enemies! We'll absolutely check out your game, we plan to spend a bit of today checking out everyone's work
