This game was well made, didn't come across any issues while playing. It was really fun trying to optimize a path and the camera effects where a nice touch that made the overall playability of this game awesome. I wish the difficulty curve was a bit more forgiving, as I felt like if I just barely made it passed one wave, the next was not an incremental step but a crushing increase. I think it would be cool to add some different kinds of towers in the future, this may also help with your difficulty curve. Most importantly I had fun playing! Well done.

Really excellent job! It felt like a really complete game for a game jam.

The setting and story were fun and all the parts fit together.

Liked that you were able to fit in a bit of polish with sound effects on the clicks in the menu.

Nice that you included so many different tracks to listen to!

Good camera work as well - nice how it followed the ants as they moved and the intro at the beginning that shows you the start and beginning is a really clever way to tell the player where the important points are.

I also appreciated that the layout of the table is different each time, so each playthrough will be different.

Most importantly, the game was fun! I really like tower defenses like this and had a good time playing. I think you did a really good job getting the difficulty just right so that it wasn't easy but not too challenging either.

What I'd Love to See:

- More juice! Sound/visual effects when shooting the ants, when your friend eats the ants, when placing turrets, etc.

- More variation to mix things up. Different types of ants/turrets, etc.

Awesome job!
