I've forgotten how much I love tower defense games, and this one was well balanced and really compelling! I think it was difficult for me to see how much the upgrades made a difference during gameplay, but I think that sort of semi-hidden power boost is good for incremental growth games like this. I'd definitely be excited to see a full release of this one with expanded mechanics or multiple levels, and some exciting music would give it that extra punch. Overall this has been one of my favorites of this jam for sure

Really cool game! I think it´s only one in the jam I played for more than a few minutes. It´s addicting, I don´t wanna leave during a loop but when the loop ends and I get a new augment I wanna leave even less! The whole idea is pretty cool. One suggestion is that the tower menu could be something you can open or close, to get a better view of the battlefield. A boss at the end of specific waves, like wave 5 or 10 could also be cool, but I see how you wouldn´t have time in the jam time period.
