How does your game fit the theme?
With more intense rain and a surge in bubble numbers!

Did you write all the code and made all the assets from scratch?
This game was developed with my personal two years of Unity C# experience, alongside assistance from AI tools like ChatGPT and Grok for coding ( the spaghetti is the real deal ), ElevenLabs for sound effects, and self-made 3D art using Blender.

I couldn't get over the fact that the player's hitbox and camera were slightly offset from their point of rotation, causing money collection and actually lining up to select/place turrets a lot more of a hassle than it should have been. When I found a tornado powerup to pull in all the money I couldn't spend it in time before I died because I had trouble lining up placements.

Other than that, great game! I really liked the cost balance with price increases and having 3 archetypal towers, and the 3d first person tower defense is hard to pull off. The game felt like it was just one constant wave due to there not being many breaks so I felt a bit bogged down. The idea of having special drops is cool, and that's something you could expand upon to improve your game. I would also add a few more tower and enemy types to spice up the gameplay. The idea that enemies would pathfind from all directions to the center through a maze is also rarely explored but could be good.

If there was a potential category you would earn an easy recieve 5 stars there.

Nice 3D tower defense I like that! It lagged a little bit for me but I guess that’s okay. Really good submission!

Really nice job on this game! The graphics look really awesome in this. I liked the 3D perspective and the controls as well as placing the towers on lava worked well.

Something that I feel like I wanted right away was an upgrade for magnetizing the money towards me, but I am not sure whether or not this would really work for the game.

Interesting take on a classic, well done on your submission :)

Nice take on TDs and bringing them to the 3rd dimension! The simplistic style was nice. Controls felt a little weird though.

Submitted

Interesting game!! Thank you :)

First person TD = really cool idea! Got 15 waves, 70k score (not sure if it is impressive or not XD))! I wish it had some visual indicators of the towers that are boosted (so I don't have to open the "e" menu to see it's current upgrades).

nice game, i never got the money cuz i didn’t think it was worth it unless i could see the path clearly :D so tower defense but in first person, cool idea!

Submitted

I like the challenges first person controls introduce to the tower defence. I do not really feel like it has some calm/storm duality, but it is still a great concept, good job.

Submitted

A pretty neat game. A classic tower diffence game, and with the camera controls it gave me Doom vibes lol


Hope you'll also rate mine :) https://itch.io/jam/brackeys-12/rate/2973690

TD in first person! I like that I had to go get my money through a maze. I tried to decide how to get to the money and if it was worth the time. Some TD aspects turned on their head, since it's me who had the maze and the mobs went straight through.

This is a cool TD idea. And it's fun.

Submitted

liked the visual style and the minimap is a great inclusion to have to not lose yourself in the the maze!

Submitted

It is a cool camera view for a tower defense game.

Really interesting take on a tower defense game making it 1st person and 3D. Enjoyed playing several times trying to get a higher score!

Submitted

Pretty cool idea, loved the first person tower defense game the controls took a bit to get used to but overall really good game :)

I like that you had to venture out into the maze to gather your money. It made for a fun balance between leaving your base behind and upgrading all of your towers. I've never seen a tower defense be 1st person like this, and it was fun. The minimap was also helpful.
