How does your game fit the theme?
It's the calm before the swarm!
Did you write all the code and made all the assets from scratch?
Everything self made, except some shaders and fonts.

At first I didn't get what to do and failed 3-4 times, i wish the game told you how to collect resources. But once i learned i finished it on second try. Good job, guys, I had fun!
Cool!
Decent wave based indie game and good graphics for a game jam!
This was such a joy to play! The visuals were extremely pretty; some of the best I've seen this jam. The music and overall sound design were extremely effective. The movement felt really great.
Overall, this is very polished game that had a lot of talented people behind it.
Great job, dev!
Thank you EchidnaC! We've worked hard to complete the project, and your comment means a lot for us.
Graphics, visual effects, and animations were really great. Pacing was done well. Music and sound effects were all fine. It fits the theme.
I would have liked for more of an explanation of the mechanics. Just adding more info to the help screen would have been enough. It made the game more challenging than it needed to be.
Overall, great job!
Thank you Sundler! We will add them in after the jam.
super well-polished and charming game!
the one thing that stood out as most improvable to me was on-boarding for new players.
since the game starts immediately with a countdown and being attacked, i felt like i didn't have time to figure out the controls in peace. i think it would be better if the controls were displayed/explained in game rather than the escape-menu. and i didn't realize how to base-build until it was too late. so i ended up playing 2 throw-away play-throughs just to figure out what to do. ideally, i would have been able to learn those things during my first play-through. before the actual challenge hit.
but otherwise i'm super impressed!!
edit: oh yes, and use/melee being on 'F' was sub-optimal imo because it prohibits me from running forward-and-right while doing melee action.
thank you for your comment ArokhSlade!
This was such a fun game! The blend of strategy and action kept me engaged, and the art style is fantastic. I had a bit of a learning curve at first, but once I got the hang of it, it was really satisfying. Nice work!
Thank you DayTripper, nice to hear your comment!
Wow, this was a pleasure to play. The sound design and music immediately pull you in. Paired with the incredible art it all works so well together. How you guys managed to make such high quality 3D and 2D art in such a limited time frame is beyond me. Genuinely impressive! I really liked the relation of the gameplay to the theme, that was a clever take on it. Really difficult learning curve, but the clear amount of effort and polish that went into this makes it a joy to replay and try and work out how to optimize each attempt. Really well done guys, this is a great entry.
Thank you so much Cyrus!
We're glad you've liked our game! Your kind words means a lot for me and for the team.
Cheers!
Good game good music.
It very hard I have a run that runout of resource when i can explore only 10 room and I can't go any farther.
Thank you for playing our game!
That's difficult. Love the music, theme and gameplay. Great entry!
Thank you for playing our game!
Hee-ho. Very cool game. Cute visual. Thanks for nice experience
Thank you for playing it ^^ We're glad that you enjoyed it!
The art and audio are incredible in this game. The UI is also super clean, definitely the nicest I've seen so far in this jam.
Thanks for sharing with my stream! Here's the VOD of your game: https://www.twitch.tv/videos/2254453937?t=01h42m43s
Hey Aaaalan!
thank you for giving a slot to our game in your stream, an for your kind words. It means a lot!
All the best
Thank you for playing our game and streaming it ^^
The art is super quite and I love the robot, the gameplay also is quite engaging. Lack of tutorial definitely hurts, also know where the enemies will come from when you are building up would have helped. Last feedback would be the collision between enemies and the player, I had a few times that I just got stuck between enemies or the wall and an enemy and couldn't get out which was really frustrating. But I do really like what you managed to make and would love to see it grow!
Super satisfying animations (lil pop was great). Struggled at first because I didn't know how to upgrade, but really delightful!
Thank you for playing our game ^^
Adding the little pop effect to bursting slimes made us laugh while making them; they look silly :D For now, the game only allows you to collect resources and create three different builds with those resources. So, there is no upgrading them yet.
REALLY COOL ! some tutorial could have been helpfull since i understood how to actually harvest resources only on my 4rth run :') but overall a really nice game, absolutly beautifull, i had a great time !
Thank you for playing! Yes, unfortunately the tutorial didn't make it in time, but I'm glad you had a good time.
Thank you for playing our game ^^
We put the control settings on the game's page and also you can see the controls in the pause menu as well. But of course it would be much easier for the player to play a tutorial section in the game. Thank you for your input! It is one of the things that we are going to add to the game ^^
First of all 3D Models and the lightning attracts your attention immedieately. I like the animations and gameplay. Overall nice work. Good Luck!
Thank you for playing our game and your comment ^^
graphics and audio here are fantastic! fun use of the theme, though I couldn't figure out how to harvest the goop and lost on the first attack because of a lack of upgrades 😅 still had a good time though!
Thank you for your comment! we've written the control scheme in the pause menu and in the itch page but probably it was easy to miss. You can mine resources by pressing F. give it another try, I would like to hear more!
Very fun game, great graphics and unique use of the theme
Thank you BubbleShade!
Beautiful game.
Maybe not most obvious theme implementaton, but waves are coming really like storm in this game. I love animation, effects and generaly art is done extreamly well here imo. Gameplay is quite interesting and strategy aspect is nicely implemented. Grab resources wuickly and build deffence on time.
I think you have great game and congrats on it!
Thank you for your comment, We're glad you've liked our game!

Thank you Narsodos, it means a lot!
