All the units were really unique I really enjoyed seeing the different ways that the famous paintings attacked back against the AI. Really creative game!
Awesome work!

Great job on finishing your game.

Im'ma be honest, I totally did not expect tower defense! Haha. But it was good and I had fun beating back the AIs!

Submitted

I really enjoyed your game! The intro was the most epic of all the submissions I have played so far, so well done! It was a fun twist on the tower defense genre using the paintings as units. I liked the fast placed gameplay as well I found myself clicking madly trying to defend with my Da Vinci's and Escher's.

Great work!

I love the concept. Using real art to defend against AI art. Well done.

Nice intro! It was fun with unique towers but it took me a minute to realize I had to click on the art stand to get the towers.

Nice take on the theme. We like the different painting abilities. Really nice job!

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.

i LOVED this game.  i've never seen such an imaginative take on tradition tower defense games.  so much fun - especially shooting birds and fish from my Escher painting.  great images in the intro.  5 stars!

Nice idea. Nice tower defense game. It makes us think about this AI art flood.

I love the clanky sounds as the projectiles aligned to a series of them. Great game and story lol

Submitted

This was hilarious! first off the opening cinematic with the repeated 'braaaam" lol, and then watching the mona lisa scarf down a little robot... amazing. Great job

Absolutely loved it! Cutscene and voice acting was awesome, art references were fantastic and it was really fun! Loved all of the animations and extra polish that really made this one pop! Keep it up :)

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

Submitted

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.

Submitted

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.
