This is so smooth, I love it. The puzzles can be kinda brute forced but I still liked figuring out the strategies for the unit ordering. Amazing music and sounds too.

Great game, not simple at all, but it's absolutely fun :)

Great game! I liked the aesthetics! Not simple but fun!

I enjoyed it. A fun little puzzle game.

I'll admit that I gave up on the 5th level.

love the reverse tower defense !! cool music too :)

Nice submission! I loved the idea as it changes the tower defense into kind of a puzzle game.

Didn't manage to beat level 5 tho..

Nice take on the reversed tower defense style. Great minds think alike ;)
The levels were not too easy. I liked it, good job!

Solid entry in aspects of overall readiness, but not enough strategy as for me - random picking approach worked better than with thinking)

Developer

Interesting. In our testing we didn't find random clicking to be effective, especially on levels 4 and 5. I appreciate your feedback, though!

Very challenging. Levels felt really well thought out!

Submitted(+1)

Really fun game. Last two levels required use of all the units, which was very satisfying to complete.

This is my favorite game so far. Love the art and it's also really fun. Level 5 was too hard for me tho haha.

Developer

Thanks. We were actually gonna call our game Tower Offense too until we changed it pretty late in development.

Submitted

WOW! You did a fantastic job on this. Love the artwork especially, it looks so professional!!! You are a gifted game designer and artist.

Developer

It was a team effort :) thank you very much for your kind words.

Submitted

Unfortunately the game doesn't load in my browser (I'm on a Mac so that's probably why) but I just wanted to say, using Google Slides as your graphics??? That's kinda genius good on you!

Submitted(+1)

I LOVE IT! I wound most definitely play this game on my phone while on the bus and stuff. xD

Managed to beat all 5 levels and I love how you eventually think of different strategies to go up against the slow ( just use a 1 first and then the fast boi), or the AOE ( splitting tanks with the 1s so only 2 get hit at a time) Good luck in the challenge my friend :)

Id be very grateful if you rated our game as well <3

Developer(+1)

Thank you so much for the kind words <3 I'm glad it was engaging in the end and that you could see yourself playing it as a full release :)

A lot of people had a similar take on the theme and did a reverse tower defense, but this one might be my favorite! I like how it's almost more of a puzzle game than just a tower defense. Crazy how you made almost all the art from Google Slides too.

Developer

Hahaha, I've been using Google Slides for my research presentations for about 8 years now so it's just a tool I'm fluent in. It has its limitations of course, but it can do some pretty cool things ;)

Good game ! it's a bit difficult but i love the way you deal with a reverse defense tower!

Submitted(+1)

I like your game

Submitted(+1)

This is definitely the best reverse tower defense that I have seen so far! I really love the minimalist style and everything felt great. The only complaint that I have is that the difficulty spike from level 3 to 4 is massive, but I was still able to get through the game and have an enjoyable time! Really great entry!

Developer

Thank you for the lovely comment and your feedback! Level 4 was previously solvable by spamming the fastest packets, and I had some time to kill a couple of hours before submission and decided that wasn't gonna' cut it. I ended up fixing that solution, but the result is much more complicated. I'm glad you were able to complete the game though :)

Such a cool realization of this idea! Very neat page and game desing. Music fits very well

Submitted(+1)

Really awesome game. I really love the circuit board/electrical component design of the world. All around it's very polished. Good Job!
