  • Cool tower defense
  • For a tower defense game, I'd say this one is solid. Even though there aren't many towers, they're different enough to give some good variety. The graphics are simple but they work fine. The only problem I'd say is really the balancing. You don't get much money from killing enemies for how expensive new upgrades and towers are, and enemies deal a decent chunk of damage to your tower each time, and with no end of wave bonus like you get in most TD games, it means if you have a bad setup you're basically screwed with nothing you can really do about it. So I think changing some of the numbers around to let the player buy more things more often would definitely increase the fun factor of this by a lot.

Did you work alone, or as part of a group? (If in a group, list their names)
I did work alone.

Disclose if you used any public domain assets or not.
The only thing I didn't made myself and in the time of the jam, was the font I used wich is a Windows font.

It worked well for me :D Got all the way to the end, though I did lose some health on the crystal in an early stage. I really wanted some music and I wanted the upgrade screen to be smaller so I could see what was going on. Had fun!

Not bad. Only complaint I have is the difficulty curve isn't great. It's simply too difficult imo. Nice game overall though!

I know the problem, but hadn't enought time to balance it well. At the beginning it is very hard to find a good strategy, but if you build a max damage ballista you almost can't loose, and at the end its too easy. I might come back to the project, and that's someting that really needs to be fixed.

very smooth, and enjoyable, most of the time I don't like these kinds of games but this one is good!

Nice game! It is a bit difficult and he flamethrowers didn't seem to work for me, but still a really nice game, especially for your first finished game!

Nice one. There's so much going on here that I wouldn't have the first clue how to create myself. I opened Blender once and never again lol
