I had the Realm Rush game and built upon that. Music by Eric Matyas soundimmage.org, Mixamo Animation. I used a YT-Video as the final song from MythFury

Loved the dance, found the controls a bit unresponsive. Also, when I lost and started the game again it was in slow-motion! :D Maybe that's on purpose to make it easier the second time around, haha. ;)

Developer(+1)

Yes I noticed that, too. Should be fixed now :P

But I get it, if you don't have the time... I still have 950 games to go!

Thank you!

Fun! I liked your characters, my mushroom house got destroyed the first round, when I clicked to try again, it played in slow motion from then on, but I was able to take out several more slugs anyway... liked the concept and fun being a Gnome!

Submitted

This was great! Amazed at how much you managed to get done in the alloted time, especially with those 3D models. Was expecting to be able to cheat the system and block the path with flowers but it wouldn't let me, really impressed with that.

Hit a couple of bugs as others have mentioned, randomly going slow motion and not being able to fire, but really enjoyed it regardless

Submitted

Controls are a bit funky but i enjoyed the game fun to see some getting the same idea on the theme :D

Submitted(+1)

Bugs aside (no pun intended), I found it really fun once you get used to the controls. Congratulations on your game and thanks for your feedback!

I hate slimes, yuck, glad I managed to kill off some :D
Really fun game, has a bit of a bullet-hell vibe mixed with tower defense which also ties pretty neatly into the theme. I think the gameplay is definitely the strong part here and you can make it a lot better with just some minor tweaks.

Now to the things that bothered me: the grass seemed to big and dense, it blocked off my view and it was frustrating. I would've loved to see the health bar of the slugs and my damage numbers, if upgrades are involved I think players want to see their damage numbers go up.
And finally the mushroom house was kinda small and hidden away, I didn't understand that I need to protect it at first.

Congrats on your first 3D game, you did great and thanks for your feedback as well!

Developer

Thank you for playing! The grass is smaller now! :P

But I have to leave the rest... because I use my time for other games, as I think it's just fairer... 

Anyways thank you for playing!

nice assets. :) Nice tower defense game.

Submitted

Really fun game! But what did the slugs do for you to hate them? D:

Developer

They want to eat my mushroom house! Every night! For the past 61 years! :P

Really cool game! Only problem I found is that after I died and went back to the main menu, I started a new game and three different music tracks played overlapping at the same time. Besides that though, nice take on tower defense, was very fun!

Submitted(+1)

really fun take on TD. it can get pretty hectic after a while, trying to build, and not get slimed by snails. i would add that you can see your player when in top down mode. other than that, Nicely done!

Developer

I had that, the problem was, that the player got eaten :D

Submitted(+1)

Loved the Slugs. Hate they kill me. hahaha. Great Job. 

Developer(+1)

I implemented your idea from the mouserotation :D And the gamespeed should be fixed now, too!

Submitted(+1)

The gnome dancing animation is amazing ;D

The game itself is good too, frantically running around and building towers while evading the snails.
The camera gets a bit finicky when the gnome is close to the mushroom and I had a bug where I couldn't fire anymore. But overall had a great time shooting those pesky snails :D

Secret ending bonus is awesome ofcourse ;D

Apart from the bug after pressing "E" (the upgrade menu, after that it does not allow me to keep on playing as a 3rd Person Shooter),  it is very cool. I liked the 3D environmet set, and I laughed when I saw the little guy dancing in the Main Menu.

Please keep on working on this game, it has a good potential (you might add more dwarfs, each one belonging to a class with a particular skill - Guard, Bomber, etc)..., you could also add more enemies and they could attack from a distance, etc,  it's just an idea.

Good work.

Developer(+1)

You have to press E again to leave the menu :D

Thank you for playing! Man I hope you play it again to the end :D just place towers and upgrade damage :P You get to see more dudes dancing!

Submitted

reminds me of riftbreaker a lot.

i love it actually, has the old-school-TD flair.

movement, navigation and tower placement is a little hard to understand and accomplish.

Developer

I updated the movement/navigation a little bit, you can rotate with the mouse now. But I get  it, if you don't have the time to play it again! I still have 950 games to go!

Submitted(+1)

It had some bugs where if you press 1 it would teleport you a bit out of the map but overall nice game

Developer(+1)

That never happend to me... But thanks for finding that! Nothing better than gametester :D

Submitted

Just Nice!)

The player's weapon stops working without an explanation. That said, the game is quite well done. It gets out of hand (too many slugs) quickly and I think that's a pretty good sign that you tested it out and tweaked the difficulty to make it more fun.

Developer

Maybe you were in the Upgrade menu? 

And yes I tested it and you can make it. I gave it to a few people and they said it's easy enough. :)

Submitted

Tested and enjoyed it! Please if you have time to test our game go ahead: https://astral-creation-studio.itch.io/your-princess-is-in-another-dimension
