The pixel art was really good, I might not be the best at the main gimmick but it did kept me coming back to learn more about it

Super cute game! The base only taking one hit to die feels a little unforgiving but I still had a blast playing this and everything meshed together so nicely!
Wow, very polished, surprisingly balanced; managed to survive to day 30 and destroy the last nest at the same turn, and the screen told me "YOU LOSE" until the bombs went off, and it said "YOU WIN!" - Surely not intentional but I laughed out loud! But seriously the presentation, clarity of the rules, built-in-tutorial are all very thoughtfully crafted. And yeah, the artwork is just fantastic. I could see this being expanded to include different enemy and unit types, and more attention/thought given to specific tactics-style components a la Into the Breach. A standout submission, for sure!
The concept here is solid, I like the idea of a tower defense game that works on a power grid! I do wish there was some more clarity on some of the items/descriptions.
Also I made it to day 30 and the game told me I lost lol.
Really impressive presentation, love the sprite-work! Clean mechanics, great tutorial just a fantastic submission overall.
i've been a big fan of slash/jump for quite some time now. but anyway, this game is so well thought out and really beautiful too. very good gameplay that requires strategy. good stuff.
really fun tower defense, took me a couple tries to get the hang of it so i can destroy all the nests, but was really fun, decent amount of strategy involved, and the visuals and audio are great!
Great implementation of the theme. I liked that it goes beyond simply accumulating power as a currency, requiring you to connect units to the power grid that steadily branches out from the central power source. A well-scoped and balanced game
Really really tightly made tower defense. Had me hooked for a while trying to get further and further. Awesome work
Great game! I thought the goal was to make it to day 30, not to destroy the nests by day 30, so I lost on day 31 with a bit of a surprise! But the gameplay is fun, intuitive, and really polished. The fact that you included a tutorial, and the ability to skip the tutorial, is really great. Unreal levels of polish in the timeframe, well done!
Fun, polished, well put together tower defense game! Tutorial was super clear, and I found it difficult to put down once I got past the first few nights. Nice job!
I Love it!
this is my new idle-ish office game for the time being :D
It's clever. You are working on a simple concept and thriving when making it well polished.
If you continue development on this, I think you'd be making a great decision. Well done, absolutely. I don't like these types of games and found myself playing this for over 20 minutes while on a mission to "quickly run through and rate games." I think you really nailed this, especially in the time frame of the game jam. Great job!
