How does your game fit the theme?
The idea is that some anomaly (storm) is causing robots to come through a dimensional rift. You're trying to outlast them.
Did you write all the code and made all the assets from scratch?
Yes. (Some of the few sound effects I made before the jam)

This super fun. Simple and yet very fun. I should be at the gym, but here I'm playing your game for the fourth time now. Great job.
Thank you! I'm glad you're enjoying yourself. I'll have to give it more options at somepoint to make it even more fun! You can always go to the gym later 🙃
did you beat it?
I have not yet, I did before I made some final adjustments before I released it, but my patience has been a bit thin. I should try to beat it though, typically I try to make sure my games are doable before I release them, but I kinda ran low on time for this one.
Easy to get into, but hard to beat first level (or else I'm just impatient :P)
With more time, I could easily see this game be much better
I seem to have forgot to reply, I appreciate the vote of confidence, and hopefullh I can make it more interesting in the near future 😊 but don't worry, even I can't seem to beat the first level (that or my patience also runs out)
The gameplay is very enjoyable and fun. Best of luck!
Thank you, I'm glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for playing!
Taking me back to DOS era :)
Ooh, I'm curious, did you have a specific game it's reminding you of?
Actually I can't put my finger on it, something I played while back but I don't remember what it was :)
Simple but really fun, and surprisingly smooth controls and mechanics despite what trouble you may have had making this. The towers were eady to place and the controls to shoot as your player were working well. Overall I think you did a nice job on this one!
Thank you, I appreciate that! I'm glad your experience was overall good, I've been really trying to improve the UI functionality and it seems to have paid off some. Thanks for playing, and thanks again for the kind words!
Fun game! I like the combination of a top-down shooter with tower defense. It was handy to be able to go back and get health. Overall, this was a fun game, well done!
Thank you, I'm glad you enjoyed it! I struggled coming up with an idea, but I'm glad it seems to have been enjoyed by many. I'll have to see about updating it and adding the other towers I had originally planned on adding.
What an outstanding achievement! The game is not only fun and challenging but also visually stunning.
Thank you so much, I feel like it's hardly deserving of those kind words though. Thanks for playing, and I'm glad you liked it!
Very fun game! I liked the atmosphere, the graphics are simple but suitable in style, sounds and music are really good. I think the game gets hard very fast, robots kill you with one shot and it's a bit annoying. Also I upgraded the turret to level 3 or 4 and it started shooting not directly at the nearest enemy, but with an offset of about 30 degrees, which made it useless. I hope you continue to work on the game!
interesting, I can think of a few possible reasons as to why that might be, I'll have to look into it. Glad you enjoyed the music and sounds though, one week was hardly enough time, I just wish I hadn't procrastinated so much 🫠 also thanks for playing, I'll have to check out your game when I get some time!
Nice little tower defense game, considering you made all the assets it is an impressive feat, you should be proud of yourself!
I had a hard time collecting metal to place turrets once the enemies became stronger, maybe the turrets should have the ability to collect it in your place? Just a thought, anyway I had fun! :)
Thanks for the kind words and crticism, I would like to add more to it and make it more playable and enjoyable. Thanjs for playing and leaving a comment! I'll checj out your game when I get some time!
Cool tower defense game, I liked the ability to place on the grind, the towers were powerful and the enemies had no chance against me mwahahha. I liked the ability to gather the scrap from the dead enemies but I eventually died that way...oops!
Glad you enjoyed what I managed to get working, and thanks for playing! :)
Nice work on releasing something playable, I had fun playing it a few times! It was very satisfying to set up an array of towers mowing down enemies and taking the risk to pick up the loot. I think my own towers killed me at one point, though I'm not sure if that's a bug or an intentional decision to make me think more about their placement. Great job!
We'll definitely just consider all of those bugs a feature :D Thanks for playing and rating. It was tough, and there was a lot I didn't quite get around to adding, and one issue where when you go to upgrade, the menu goes away, but not always? I'm hoping I can eventually finish this game and make it more enjoyable! I'll check out your game when I get home from work!
Yeah I definitely feel you on the running out of time aspect. But it’s fun in its current state at least! Thanks, looking forward to hearing your feedback if you do try out our game :D
