I really enjoyed playing it, it's really well done but I think is a little too difficult. The prices of the upgrades are a bit too high for me, especially when you get to the round of the boss, if you have already bought some healing previously, healing again costs decidedly too much. I would also reduce the probability of slimes spawning for at least the first 2/3 rounds, because since they have a lot of health, in the initial phases are very difficult to defeat.

Anyway really nice work! with some improvements I think it could become a really fun game.

This is a lot of fun to play! My only note is that the rounds seem to generate the enemies randomly causing difficulty spikes in some of the earlier rounds on some playthroughs. Once I was I made it to around round 20, I felt pretty unstoppable and had no problem clearing any rounds after that even if I opted not to upgrade for awhile. Maybe changing which enemies can spawn in the early (maybe first 4) rounds would help the player to be able to build some money to purchase upgrades. Another possible change would be to let the player collect the money during the round instead of after the round and purchase upgrades in the during the round. Even if the player had to click on the coins to collect them, this would add some additional engagement from the player during the round and help balance out the difficulty. To balance out the later rounds, maybe each round could scale the health of the enemy types up creating the need to keep upgrading. Overall, this was really fun and I hope you continue devlopement on it!

Neat game, I like the minions defending for me (because I'm lazy) and upgrading them.

The first session I died to wave 3 before really being able to purchase anything, but the second session (which I had purchased the same) I managed to get to wave 10 before succumbing to the large blue bois, because they are rooough to deal with. Mostly because of the attrition of having to heal up and not having enough to upgrade anything else.

I like the aesthetic, and the strong thematic colouring of the enemies.

Nice job :D

This is the best I managed, the super big enemy could take a beating and dish one out!

A good, fun game in general. I feel the prices for upgrades were highly priced, often too out of reach. Ideally the player should be able to purchase something at the end of the very first wave, otherwise there's no agency to be had when the fort takes damage on Wave 2. It gives the sense that nothing could be done, whereas if two or more upgrades are affordable and the fort takes damage, the player can think "Oh, I should have tried something different."

The randomization of the waves helps add variety and in theory makes for better replayability, but this also means that the amount of gold the player earns is random as well in a way they can't control. On my first playthrough I could only afford a speed upgrade after Wave 2, and on my second playthrough I could instead buy the much more useful 2xDamage upgrade instead, simply because more enemies spawned for me that run.

Hey this was game was a gem! I really liked the pixel art and music, and the mechanic of being able to target enemies based on different traits was a fun mechanic. I also felt like the minibosses in the waves was a very cool touch. Nice work!

Really fun!! I also really like that one can chose when to start the next wave. The shake effect made me a little dizzy, but otherwise so awesome to play!

Wow. Nice job. Really liked the game feeling, gameplay, artwork and theme. Added to collection. Gave me tons of ideas.

I like these kind of games. Good job, it's great what you did in such a short time!

This is awesome! Took me right back to playing CoolMathGames in the school computer room. I could totally see this getting fleshed out more and polished up after this jam and becoming a full game!

The art is great as well! I was about to look for what asset pack you used, but it was all you! Great job all around!

The art and animation are impressive! UI and control are smooth and I really like the shake effect. The upgrades can do with a little improve though.

Great art! Good job creating all the assets for the game. The music is boppin'. I'd like to have access to cheaper upgrades earlier. I like that you added screenshake.

I really enjoyed this one - Nice one! I liked having the different options but not being overwhelmed by different choices. One of my favourites in this Jam!

fun game! Loved the graphics. good luck in the Jam! 

I liked the overall scope of the project. I definitely think there's something here. I felt that there was really only one way to play to win. But I think you did a great job. Thank you for submitting!

I really like what you made so far! The art in particular is very nice. Definitely impressive for a solo project. I had a very similar experience as Or with the balancing. I found the screen shake to be a bit too much personally. I also noticed the projectiles can have a hard time adjusting to new targets. It's especially noticeable when archers kill the closest enemy before mages can even fire their projectiles. This technically could repeat and the mages would never fire a single projectile.

The game was fun but really unbalanced. It started extremely hard (in the first round, I lost health before I even got money to upgrade anything), but as the game progressed, it became extremely easy. Overall, the game is fun, and I found myself playing up to wave 50. It just needs more balance.
