How does your game fit the theme?
Not only is the player character physically connected to a turret via rope, but the turret and the player share health. If the turret takes damage, the player takes damage and vice versa. The turret and player must also work together to avoid taking unnecessary damage by the turret hitting the player.

That was very fun! I really like the cutesy art style and the game play loop of just getting stars to upgrade is nice, simple, and easy to understand!
This was a lot of fun. I think it's one of the best I've played in this year's jam so far. It's really tricky to keep track of both where you're aiming and where you're running to, which makes for an interesting challenge. The only thing I would suggest is to either add or better explain the incentive to collect the stars. Obviously they increase the score, but if the player's main goal is to survive as long as possible, there doesn't seem to be much reason to prioritize collecting them. If the rounds/upgrades are tied to the stars, then I could see that working, and it might even be the case, but if so it isn't well explained in-game.
This was tons of fun to play. Really hectic, trying to juggle both the little guy and the turret. The music is a blast, I love it.
Very good concept! Nice art style.
My biggest complaint is the difficulty. It is hard from the start. I think it would be better if had fewer projectile enemies at the beginning and those enemies were slower or there was fewer of them.
Fun shooter game which involves coordination of the the character and the turret. Music and art style are also great and add to the experience.
This game is very well designed. It rewards the player in taking risks, since you want to aggressively shoot the enemies but also want to gather as many stars as possible. The upgrades don't necessarily make the game easier (since it makes it harder to dodge your own shots), which is a good thing for keeping the game challenging as it progresses. The controls felt smooth, and the art + music were nice touches. Nice work!
This is amazing, I'm loving this game, its hard, has upgrading potential, and the hardest challenge is not to run into your own shots, 10/10
Very cool, nice upgrade system! :) Cool that you can go mayhem! :D
The color palette is really nice for this game. Simple and clean art. Looks great! I also like the mechanic being explored both physically (connected to the turret) and also abstractly (health is connected)!
Probably not a good idea to upload your game as a rar file considering it requires a program / programs i don't have :P
An absolutely fantastic game.
Amazing music, great consistent art, and it just all so well together
Very fun game! Very cute art style and well designed mechanics. Challenging but not too difficult to the point of annoyance! Very cool game :D
Super fun game!
I really like how it plays and feels, also multitasking and collecting stars and not getting shot yourself is pretty hard.
Graphics and audio need improvement, but overall it is very fun and creative.
I love tower defense games and this was a really unique take on one. I really had to multi task. Great entry.

Finally a tower defense game !
Love the art and the juice you put in the game, sounds are also very cool !
Very Fun game! The concept was pretty good and the visuals are good! Maybe make the difficulty easier?
I like the concept, but I feel it gets too difficult too quickly.
