I think this game has a lot of potential honestly. Feedback: I got to the boss, and realised / it seems we aren't meant to beat the boss? I feel like I'm either missing something, or there isnt enough merge slots to make a tower strong enough to beat boss. Also, I think for me, I would make the recipes just a permanent box to the side of the screen that tells you combinations - as there is the blank space for it. Can even have it populate as the player discovers recipes if you wanted. I say this because apart from telling us what we can merge, I dont know what they are for and they take up merge slots. I also found if you do the initial start wrong (very easy to do) you'll get stuck and have to restart. Other than that, I had a lot of fun, played for quite awhile, good job! highest tower I got too was 6 :)
Thanks. Yeah, it was a crunch, so balance is out of whack for sure for one thing. Regarding merge slots - it can be done by upgrading shop and resource generators, but its pretty hard even for me, so I'd definitely consider summoning the boss a win by itself. You make pretty good points, definitely will help me refine game. Thanks for the feedback and for checking out the game!
Nice entry! I could only figure out how to make the one tower, but I definitely feel like this could grow into a full game! Getting out a prototype like this is exactly what game jams are for! Great job!
Yeah, looks like I had a bug where recipes would not load on web build. Fixed it as per jam rules and now you can see the recipes. Thanks for checking it out!
