Nice, I enjoyed it. Not the easiest of games, but kudos for all the effort you put into this.

I would have loved to see the projectiles that the towers shoot.

Well done,  keep it up!

Developer

I did not do any playtesting so I didn't realize it was very difficult. The projectiles I didn't know how to do them so I just scrapped it but yeah it would be a nice touch. Thank you so much for playing and giving back feedback!

The game's too hard in the beggining - the game is super punishing; doing 1 mistake and having to do everything over again is super feel-bad for the player; the base should have more than 1 HP.

That aside, I like the idea of "less towers = more score"; it means the player is incentivized to fine tune their defense rather than just spam the most cost/efficient tower. It gives a different dynamic to the genre that I greatly appreciate.

Yeah, I did not realize it was too hard. I did not do any playtesting at all. Really appreciate the feedback. Thank you for playing!

Hello.

I have some suggestions.

- Firstly, you should explain that towers lose health over time.

- Secondly, the enemy on the tutorial is pretty bad. I actually thought the game glitched and that I was stuck there, as the enemy was not being attacked.

- Furthermore, you should add projectiles/some kind of way to show what tower is attacking what enemy.

- Additionally, having only one piece of health on the thing that you are protecting feels super cheap, as if you take one damage there, you just lose. No other Tower-Defense game I played is like this.

- Lastly, most towers feel ( or are idk ) kinda useless.

Despite those things, I got a score of 1050.

Hi! Thank you so much for playing and reviewing my game. I will try to learn from those mistakes for the next project I work on. I wasn't able to add the projectiles because I couldn't think of a way to add them. Yeah some of the towers are a bit useless, didn't have much time or people to playtest it. I also originally planned to add health to the base but then later scraped it, I thought it made it too easy but I was wrong as it is a bit too hard, again I didn't have much playtesting done. Really appreciate the feedback
