In what way does your game fit the theme?
Placing turrets on top of each other (combining them) will make them stronger!
Did you write all the code yourself and made all the assets from scratch?
Yep

Very fun game! It would have been nice to use the combined turrets more often.
This was fun! I was a little stumped on some of the levels. Great game! It kinda took the fun out on the harder levels when it was obvious there was only going to be one solution that worked and I was somehow supposed to find the one out of the infinite possible setups. ;) haha, but overall very well done!
Really cool idea, but one of the levels I couldn't beat, even when doing exactly what you did in your video.
Which level was it?
I don't recall if it was the third or fourth, but the path goes down and up multiple times. In the video, you placed all of the shooters on the right side facing left. Except for the top one. I tried a couple of variations of that, but I couldn't get anything to work for that level.
Yeah, the game has an issue with determinism so sometimes even the correct solution will lead to a loss. I plan on fixing this after the jam though 🤞
Very satisfying to play! I especially like that you can put several canons on top of each other that makes the game much more interesting. But a few more sound fx would be cool i guess. Other than that well done!
it was a really nice game, I enjoy playing it. congrats. rated.
I will be glad if you can play and rate mine

I'm really impressed with what you managed to do here. I think that these types of puzzle games are so cool but can't get my head around how to design them.
Overall a really good game! Rated and followed for future games :D
Thank you for putting so much detail into your feedback! :)
Interesting, I had fun trying to place the turrets in a good position.
Please check my game out too!
Really fun game and great use of the theme! It's a really innovative combination of a tower defense and a puzzle game. It was difficult to understand what to do at first, but that seems to be a problem with all jam games. Great work!
Awesome game, looks really polished and it's actually difficult can't get past level 4 but I still like it :D
There’s a walkthrough if you want to see what the solution is:
amazing game, the screen will shake when hit enemy is a good point.
I can see you spend effect to split the map into grids! I like the way we place guns.
another innovative point is I need to control where the gun look at, this is quite interesting
This is a really challenging game. For me, it was less of a tower defense game and more of a puzzle game, which isn't a bad thing. The crossover between the 2 genre is pretty innovative since it combines the elements of precise tower placement and critical thinking. It felt satisfying to watch the game play out once I figured out where to place the towers. I also like how there is a pattern for the enemies spawning. It makes the game feel easier, although it's not really that easy. Sfx and music will really make the game "pop" more and feel more fun, especially since puzzle games take real long for some people(like me). Nicely done!
Thanks for the detailed feedback!
Really cool game! I got stuck on level 6. I just couldn't figure it out. Would you mind trying my game out?
Sure, I’ll try your game out in a bit. I’ve got quite a long list of games that I plan on trying but I’ll get to yours eventually! By the way, I made a walkthrough which shows the solution for level 6 (and the other ones):
Ok. Thanks!
I like the gameplay. You should add some music.
Thank you and I agree!
I got really invested in this. A simple concept, but the challenge of figuring out a good placement for the turrets made it really fun. The graphics are also very pleasant to look at and the visual and audio feedback is great :)
The only thing this game is missing is a really killer soundtrack. I would pursue this idea further and maybe push it into the mobile market.
Love the art style, its simplistic but engaging
Audio is the only thing I could suggest needs improving, some music or ambience would help a ton :)
The SFX are good, but just some music would really improve the game. Its nice to try new tower setups, which is a must for a tower defense, but is not very intuitive where are the best spots. Overall a really good game.
Yeah I agree, I really wanted to add music. I actually did create some but I ended up scrapping it as it was really bad (it was my first time making music)
You could just use some royal-free music. But the purpose of the game jam, is to try things, if you had put your music, someone could help you improve ;)
That’s what I would usually do but I really wanted to do a jam where everything was done by me (I’ve never done this before)
Very solid program and I see what you did with the theme there, and the difficulty curve is really well made.
But I personally think that combining the turret kind of make it weaker... unless it provide better shoot rate or some special ability as you upgrade
I completely agree. I feel like the turret combination mechanic was very forced and could have been expanded upon much more. A lot of the levels don’t even require the mechanic
My God thats polished.. Loved it! Rated it!
Actually I was impressed by the tower defense idea, but with a clever twist you included. I would say, keep it up, improve the graphics and make a nice new kind of tower defense game out of it, it is worth it! Congrats.
Please vote for our game too :slight_smile: Thank you.
