Fun concept for the backstory and game. I really liked how you came up with different abilities for the different paintings that fit with their theme. I found it got chaotic a bit quickly, but it was a lot of fun. Maybe a multi-placement mode would help, or just making painting placement a bit faster, since I found it hard to keep up with the money I was gaining.

Damn, cutscene with voice acting and epic *WHAM* sounds really elevates this thing. I'm too biased towards Escher's art I kept placing it over anything else, no wonder I lost. Mona Lisa's attack was... unexpected

Original take on the theme. I liked that the towers were radically different from one another. At the end I had trouble keeping up with placing the towers fast enough, but that's not a bad thing.

I know very little about art so I wonder if there is some significance in the middle tower shooting black swans that turn into 4 fish.

Hey, glad you liked it. Google some art by Escher, he made some really amazing stuff!

One of the many things he was known for was drawing tiles that fit together seamlessly despite looking very differently from each other. Such as this one where he tiles bird together and space between them look like fishes, and vice versa!

O mundo impossível de Escher – a.muse.arte

The idea of the Escher tower was to make the Drawing Hands seem like it's drawing one of those birds. Then the birds splits into fishes like in that other drawing.

Fantastic and relatable story, great job on the intro! Hot keys would be great for choosing paintings, especially toward the end of the round, but overall this is a really good entry.

The animations of the Mona Lisa --- hilarious. Very Terry Gilliam! The AI created art at the start is also hilarious. Kind of an odd mishmash of styles with the actual robots being very cutout looking.  Maybe that's the point? The game itself, worked really well. It was fun and pretty straight forward. So glad I could keep art safe for now...

Thanks for playing! Your game was hilarious as well. The robots were supposed to be a little more realistic and in closer style to the rest of the game. But I didn't have enough time to polish them. I did the first robot in the first 30min of the jam as a placeholder, thinking I would eventually add a bunch more stuff to it later. But then on the last day when I woke up, I looked at the clock and noticed there was only 30min left for the jam deadline and I still only had that one robot. So I just doubled the wheels, made it darker, stretched another set of wheels to look like cannons. And now I had a second robot 🤣 In hindsight, maybe using AI generated robots would have been better lol

Incredible intro! BWOOAM! I was really happy to be able to correctly guess what the last line was going to be. :D

What's there is good! Starting out is difficult with low funds, maybe I was bad with my placements and didn't generate enough money or I put too much value on Drawing Hands. Toward the end my only issue was being able to place paintings fast enough with all the money which was rolling in. I appreciated that the paintings targeted the robots furthest along the path, making last minute placements more viable for taking out an enemy getting too close.
