How does your game fit the theme?
There is a BLACK HOLE disrupting and cause defense towers to malfunction and be placed randomly! Also your ship's main cannon is on the fritz and shooting wacky. It's all OUT OF CONTROL~

nice fun game, i can only think what if it was made with lot time to spare. it was satisfying when i just had to collect the money and let the tower do their thing
I'm glad you found it satisfying :D Thanks for playing! I hope to work on it some more~
It was a very fun game only got a score of 7400 tho but i enjoed it, only feedback i have or this is my personal preference, is to not scale up ur pixel but to keep all pixel the exact same size :)
Oh hey Wuzzy! Thanks for stopping by :D That is true haha. I will update the sprites later for sure, I did the lazy method to make them look a bit different hehe.
Honestly had a lot of fun with this game. Even though it kept with the theme it never really got overly frustrating because of a few strategies that'd typically work, it in fact sort of helped in minimizing a little bit of thought processes by having the towers be placed randomly.
Very nice and polished looking game, I really liked it!
I'm glad you had fun, that is a good point! Thanks a bunch for stopping by and playing :D
My favorite part was the enemies! I never knew what was gonna come from the portal next. I especially like the big yellow guys. They had a neat mechanic
I'm glad you liked them! I hope to think of some other cool enemies~ let me know if you have and suggestions :D
This was a lot of fun! I love tower defense games and this was a fun twist.
By the end, I felt a little like my puny ship wasn't really contributing compared to my army of towers. I wonder how the player can remain more relevant to the action. Maybe you can go to towers to upgrade them, or help defend them against an enemy that's attacking? Maybe the player's gun just needs to get stronger over time? Maybe some enemies drop huge money piles that disappear after a short amount of time, so you have to zoom quickly over to the good drops? I think there's lots of potential.
Thanks for the great feedback and comment! Those are some great suggestions for sure! I'll add them to my notes :D
This was fun to play. It was a little repetitive at times and I didn't like how you could get stunned infinitely by a row of enemies. But otherwise, it was really good! Please give my game a try too :)
Thanks for playing! I added you game to my play list :D I do need to add an immunity frame after getting stun XD
A really nice take on the tower defense genre! This had really good enemy variance, and I especially loved the flying enemies skipping large parts of the track; the wave difficulty was great too, with some waves never making out of the black hole, and some being chased down to inches of the end. Ultimately, I stopped every single one, but they put up a good fight!
I would have loved to see the game be a bit longer, with different tracks and upgrades throughout, but for a game jam, this is an excellent submission!
Thanks for the awesome comment and I'm glad you enjoyed the game :D I hope to take peoples suggestions/feedback and improve it and make it longer~
8350 is my high-score
Overall a great submission, reminds me of X-Morph Defense (a game I loved)
Audio + art created during the jam too! Keep up the good work
Thanks a bunch!! That might be the best score I've seen! I just googled that game, it does look cool/intense haha
I really liked it!
I would love a new version with levels and ship upgrades!
Good luck!
Glad you liked it :D I like the game idea, so I do hope to add more or make a new/better game!
I really like the mix between top-down shooter and turrent defense, it's surprisingly interesting and fun. Good job!
Thanks for playing! I'm glad it was a good mix :D
It was really close but I managed to win on my first try without losing any health.
So awesome! I really need to code it so the planet health adds to the final score~
Really cool game. I like the simplicity behind it with a deceptively large amount of content. It would have been cool is you could make a decision to what you spend your coins on, or have some form of trade off come from your decisions a deep and interesting game play loop. Good Entry!
Thanks for the feedback and ideas!
Haha, i remember you! You were the first to review my game at the wowie 2.0 jam, which was also my first published game. I saw your profile pic in one of the comments.
Another great game you made. I really love Tower-Defense-Games with originality and yours is one of them.
Well done.
Hello again! The wowie jam was fun! Its cool you're still doing game jams~ they are great practice and give many cool game ideas! Thanks for playing :D
The physics when the ship spins is really funny to me. Which I think is a good thing. I also liked the graphics that you put in. The monsters may have had a little too much health. When I'm playing a shooter I want each of my shots to feel like they have impact. Maybe adding more minions spawning and making them faster may have helped. But the game is still pretty fun :)
Thanks for playing and the feedback! Did you put down towers as well? I think I need to make it more clear haha
Ooops yeah I didn't play that long or I didnt see them, my bad
nice game the td space shooter combo is weird but works
Thanks for playing! I'm glad the combo worked haha
What a great take on the tower defense formula! It embarrassingly took me a while to realize that the turrets were shooting the aliens and not the player. Still, the game was quite solid and enjoyable all around!
Thanks a bunch for playing! I do need to my a better intro/tutorial to show the mechanics hehe
I love tower defense games, and I really like what you've done with the mechanics! The towers malfunctioning sold me on the story that everything's gone haywire (and let me focus on my ship). Cool game!
Also, I think it's very engaging that some of the enemies leave the track. In most tower defense games, it gets repetitive with enemies staying on the track, but it felt like a paradigm shift when that first little bugger flew towards my ship off the track! I felt way too safe (so to speak) up until that point. Great idea!
Thanks for the feedback! I should introduce more variety earlier :D thanks for playing!
Great game! Love the art style and randomly placed tower mechanism.
Thanks for playing! Glad you liked it~
This entry is amazing, love the visuals. Although i do think some of the stronger enemies were bullet sponges, other than that though this game is great. Keep up the amazing work!
Thanks for the feedback!
