I used to play a lot of tower defense on Starcraft and warcraft custom maps. You did a great job although waves where kinda slow. I also like the idea of the levels being motherboards.

Nice entry! I would love a speed up button, the enemy waves felt very long to come! Also more clarity of when you have the tower selected. Maybe have the cursor turn to the tower you are placing? Would be interested in seeing you do more with this as I love tower defense games, with some tweaking to the speed and flow of the game, it could be even more fun!
Great tower defense implementation with charming graphics! It took me a little bit to figure out how to place units and what they actually did. I'm still not sure exactly how to switch from placing one type to another type, but I had fun!
Really like the idea! Had trouble figuring out what to do in the beginning, but it turned out to be a RTFM-issue on my side. As previously mentioned, the game could have used a fast forward button or similar, but other than that, good game
I like the circuit board art a lot. One thing I'd suggest if you intend to keep updating the game after the jam: add "buttons" to change the speed - usually tower defense games have those, for when you don't have much to do but wait.
love seeing some pico8 games here! :D and also love tower defense, i really miss them lately
game was super fun! but i just felt a little slow the first waves to start
and you really did an amazing job with the pixel art!
Tower defense games tend to be some of my favorites when I start playing through game jam submissions. the 8-bit style is a bit hard for my old eyes to see, but I still managed to make it through a couple waves. One thing I might do is make the indicator to buy new units a bit more obvious because it took me a minute to find it on the screen.
Thanks! I'm glad you liked it!
For the music, RobbyDuguay gets all the credits. He did an amazing work with Nine Songs in Pico-8 (https://www.lexaloffle.com/bbs/?uid=11038).
I like this style. Fun little TD game, I haven’t managed to get far, since I am pretty bad at TD games :D I noticed that after restarting, computer disappears so I can’t get any more currency for towers, but it is easily fixed by just restarting the game
Great work!
A stylish, small game with well-made mechanics ;)
nicely done. just wished the wait times would be shorter for each round
