The concept was very amusing! Varied sound effects were a nice touch, but maybe a little too close for how often they play. Good game.

How does your game fit the theme?
In my game losing is not the end, because it means getting to choose a buff that will help in next runs. Winning is also just the beginning, because it unlocks endless mode.
Did you write all the code and made all the assets from scratch?
Yes, I did.

Very nice and fun concept, though I encountered a bug where the day couldn't progress, so I had to restart. Other than that, it's a good tower defense game!
Really nice twist on the tower defense game. My (almost all) squirrel army got me to day 8 - fun game!
Thanks for submitting your game to be played in the stream! You can see my reactions over in the vod down below (games are separated into chapters with yours being the ninth chapter)
Neat little game, which actually makes really fun to play - a big achievement for a game jam submission! I like the variety of defenders and attackers and the upgrades you can choose from, when you failed a round - very good idea to keep players engaged! The only things I have wished for were a possibility to replace existing defenders with better ones and something you could do between rounds before starting a new day - buying an upgrade or something like this. Apart from that a very solid entry which I enjoyed very much!
Think it might need some more work balancing, but it's a great concept and original game idea.
Great job, well done.
I think it's the most entertaining game so far! I love the original take on the tower defense genre. At one point I filled all the spaces and thought I would just carry on to the end, but then I suddenly lost, so it's really cool that you actually need to lose and upgrade. The music is fun and chill, same for grahics, especially the start UI. Great job :)
Really fun game, I like the rogue-lite tower defense you made to match this theme. I'm pretty sure all the bonuses you collect you keep for future playthroughs, and if so it's really easy to cheese the game by letting yourself lose a lot at the start then have all those power ups to win, so maybe some kind of goal should be achieved to be able to get a power up after dying. Great game! Keep it up!
This is one of the best games I played so far, I love how the theme is implemented in this game and how your tree grows stronger over multiple runs. I would love to imagine all the animals running to the next tree after their previous tree has been cut down, slowly learning how to defend it better. This is a solid foundation for many more levels (different tree structures), mechanics (like trees bending as they skew towards tipping) and new animals to be added. I'm a fan.
This was really fun! I encountered a bug two times that stopped the day from rolling over, but the rest of the game was well put together and is very visually appealing!
