Really solid mechanics, nice variety of towers, with different upgrades, and a lot of enemies. I managed to beat it in hard mode and continued playing it for a while more. Really good game!

A really fun tower defence game. Played it for about 40 minutes getting to wave 100. Very enjoyable :D

(sorry I accidentally posted on the game page)


Pretty fun tower defence game! I got on a roll and could just wipe out enemies no problem with the pumpkin upgrades, I'll have to give hard mode a try. That main music track gives me excellent early smash/mario kart vibes! Surprisingly fitting for this kind of game.

Very smooth gameplay, nicely done!

A very solid gameplay loop, I played until wave 63. Great stuff, keep up the wonderful work! - Mato

Very solid! Nice gameplay loop, and pretty satisfying audio for the destruction sounds and music. If you decide to build this out more, here's a few suggestions for building further on the solid loop you have already:


Different enemy types: I think as it is now, the best strategy is to go full tall on one unit, as there arent any different enemy types that would encourage you to branch out into a variety of things, so after a while it might get a little repetitive. I just sat back and waited for upgrades most of the game, so it didn't feel like a super active role, which makes sense with the genre, but with more time I think adding branching choices would be a cool inclusion.


More in depth descriptions: Would have liked to have seen more description of what each of the different towers did, so I could make a more informed choice on what I want to go with.


Overall a really fun game and one I could see myself spending a lot of time playing idly. Good job! Really had a good time playing it!

Thanks for the feedback! I did feel like spamming slingshots was basically just an easy win so that could be a really good solution.

I like a good tower defense game and this is a good tower denfense game. I probably played this the longest of all the jam entries.

Hey!

Thanks a bunch. I had to work on that track late one night, and I had like, zero ideas, until 5 minutes before I told myself I had to go to bed.
Ended up finishing the track during my Algebra 2 class the next morning!

It was hard at the beginning, but it got easier in the end.

I really liked the artstyle and the music, but i don't think that this game represents the main theme of this jam well///

Submitted

Monsters didnot get into vision field at the end. I was IMBA. I like the game.

I think the theme could be incorporated a bit more but overall fun and engaging. Great tower defense. Beat the boss too;  UPDATE; played a few times now, its pretty fun
