Really loved the sound effects on this one. Great to hear the animal before it appears so you can prepare for the attack. Good fun!

Loved the graphics and the idea! It fits perfectly well to the jam. The music was good and it was spot on on the game. Perhaps the waves are a little too long, but that is the only "but" I have found. Good job!!

The Archer of EbondaleCool game!
Maybe only make aiming more responsive, sometimes hard to understand where rock will be thrown.

Last BomberNice, and very fitting to the theme, but I think difficulty increase is a bit too slow for a jam game where people have limited attention-span.
Are you aware that you can reload while holding your "aim"? I mean, if you charge a shot holding the mouse, then keep it held and press R, you will reload but also be ready to instantly shoot. Not sure it was intended, as it's an interesting mechanic but does not seem to fit the theme of the action.

Enjoyed Playing the game. Nice Graphics, Dialog System and the reload system. Having curve showing where the rock would be thrown would make this even more useful. I like the balanced gameplay. Nice Main Menu Animations. Keep up the good work :)

Survive The HordeNice! Simply mechanics but enough of a challenge once the difficulty starts ramping up with different enemies. The first couple levels felt too long though.

This is a great game! I really like how your performance affects which ending you get. The introduction of new enemies was paced well, and the different styles of movement were really good (the jumping one was tricky to hit). Overall a very good submission!

The Wizard TowerDidn’t get far because there are still so many games to try out. The bird got me by just flying over. Must be one heck of a bird poop. Had to figure how to aim at first, didn’t realize it was locked in once you click. Nice entry!

Very good! Starts a bit slow but quickly gets intense. Made it to wave 7.
Most games here(including mine) just put the story text in the menu but you animated your story and it looks great.

That's a nice game! I do think like say before - its a bit repetitive.
but the theme here is well done and it truly feels like the last stand!

I really liked the art and animation, but I found the game a little repetitive, I think introducing a bit more variety earlier on might help. I see from other comments that you have some ideas for this already to tweak after the jam, so best of luck!

I really enjoyed playing it! I appreciated the inclusion of the new enemy from wave 2, which changes the game dynamics a bit. One thing that bothered me a little was the fact that I couldn't change the launch direction while charging.
I appreciated the choice of music and sfx, however the music at the beginning is way too loud, I got quite scared I must admit haha.
Overall, nice work!

Space InfestationThank you so much! there is other enemy appearing after though and also the game has multiple endings :) The changing of direction while charging might be a good idea even though it was the case at first and I changed it to make the game more challenging, but this will be taken in count in the next update, so stay tooned ^.^
The music volume issue is fixed in the upadate as well, Thanks for the feedback!

Very nicely done. All art created yourself, that is amazing. Love the new enemy types. Unfortunately, I got a bit bored after a while, but the entry is a strong one!
