How does you game fit the theme?
Everytime he dies, he goes back to day 1 but its actually not the first day 1. That's why he collect back MagiCore from Mgstones.

Spoilers

If I can make it on time. It's actually a story about a mad engineer who went rogue after loss of his children. He kills other people that he thinks they are monster.

Did you write all the code and made all the assets from scratch?
3 pieces of sprites and few SFX are not owned by me but rest is drawn and made by me. About all the codes, I did not take any ready-written code to challange myself. Several times I looked up Brackey's videos to fresh up my memory. If you ever get my project while I will be too emberassed to explain all the messy code. I had to be on time.

tower defense games are my favorite, and you partner it with an eerie atmosphere, this one is great!

Wow, you did an amazing job with this! I also love the audio and the atmosphere!

Hey that's a very good concept i like it very much ! Tower defensing while having to collect the ressources to build is a very good idea ! Also the atmosphere of the game is quite good too, and you managed pretty well to show the fear of the child and the father while monsters approach.

I liked it, good work ! :)

Developer

Thank you for your feedback and I am sorry for the bugs!

Submitted

Actually there are not that much or i have been not that much shoked of these. The only one that bothered me a bit is when you pick up ressources that are not added to your inventory (or maybe that's a feature and they are not real lol) but when i refreshed the game i could play it without bugs

What a nice twist on a tower defense game! I'm not sure if I missed it, but the ability to upgrade your towers would be nice.

Developer

Thank you for the time you spent for the game! I will be adding upgrade functions for weapon, house and towers. Upgrade function for  the woodcutters exist but can't be activated for an unknown reason.

fun game but I ran into this bug at the beginning where if I would enter the house as I was about to running out of time I get soft locked and have to reload the page

Developer

Wow, I didn't know that bug even existed! Thanks for reporting, I will be checking out

Nice game with a story! I like the vibes!

Submitted

I would like to see a info on the structures , the mechanics were super fun.

Developer

Thank you for the advice. I will add to my list for next updates. I tried your game too and loved the atmoshpere

Submitted(+1)

Interesting, I didnt expect it to be a tower defense at all. Small bugs here and there but the game was playable overall, great game

Developer

Thank you for your interest. I will be checking your game too.

Loved the game, loved the mechanics. There is some major bugs that i can understand and tolerate. Also liked the little story and horror vibe. Keep up the good work.

I really like the eery vibe you've managed to convey here! It's an interesting concept, definitely see potential. If you are building on it I would suggest improving the UI and tips, they are not very obvious and kind of difficult to read which can make the game hard to pick up. Nice art style! 

Developer(+1)

Thank you for your feedback. You are right about that. Unfortunately, I had not enough time to come up with decent UI ideas. I realised that people tend to not to get attention on those important information. I will definetely make this an interesting game so if you decide to check now and then you will see some update.


Thank you again for your time!

Cool I'll give it a follow :D

The game wouldn't let me build a tower when I had enough materials for it, it even had negative values. Enjoyed the game overall, the creatures reminded me of no face.

Developer

Apologies for the inconvenience, I had to rush for the last several hours. I hope other than that you enjoyed it.

Nice td. Text could be bigger. Tower shots got stuck.

Developer

I don't know what you mean by tower shots getting stuck but thanks. Tower bullets are meant to stay on the ground for a while for visual purposes. 

Thank you for your feedback about text. I am not a good UI designer and not good at picking proper colors for texts when it comes to games with diferent scales of colors.

Cool spin on tower defence. I like the horror vibe.

Developer

Thank you. Even though, I am quite upset about the few fatal bugs

Submitted(+1)

Initially hard to understand, but fun once you get the hang of it. Really like how it was put together - graphics and audio are great!

Developer

Thank you for your feedback! I did not have play testers to understand perspective of a new player. Next time i will try my best!

Submitted(+1)

Cool BGM to fit with the scary theme and the gameplay is fun. But I stumbled a problem where I can't build the base even when I have enough resources

Developer

Thanks for the feedback. Unfortunately, i had little time before i could fix bugs. I will be working on the game even after the gamejam. It was a fun experience! 

Known bugs:

-woodcutter upgrade doesn’t work.

-after death, waves are acting unintended.
