Very well done for your first game.

Controls are a bit weird, you have to use your mouse to cast spells but everything else is on keyboard so you have to switch between the two. Either make everything on keyboard or on mouse, you can also avoid using buttons on right side of the keyboard so the player can use left hand for keyboard inputs and right for the mouse.

That's everything I wanted to point out, good luck in the Jam.

Kingdom Rush is one of my favourite tower defence games, and you've managed to bring out a reversed version of it, which I still really enjoy! Although the blend of enter, space, arrow keys, and mouse is confusing, I probably would have given up on the game if I hadn't tried to find the right input controls after scrolling around on my keyboard.

Neat game, could definitely see it becoming addictive

I tought it was kingdom rush but it's kingdom Crush haha good one

I love tower defense games so much, specially the kingdom rush saga, such a delight to play these games. I enjoyed very much your implementation of the tower offense dynamic, it's something I've always wanted to experience in these types of games (playing as the enemy). Great job!! (^▽^)

Mmmh I see.. Great minds think alike :D
We also thought of a reversed tower defense game.

Great job for yours! Check out our version too (if you're interested)

Hello and welcome to Kingdom Crush! This is my first finished game and my first jam entry as well!

It is a tower offense, meaning you will have to command the monsters that attack the kingdom while your opponent (the AI) builds defensive towers. There's only two levels for now but if people like the concept I will continue to work on it outside the jam.

Controls:

• Press T to speed up progression. Note: this also speeds up tower spawn rates.
• Use arrow keys to navigate the menu
• Spacebar to upgrade
• Enter to spawn selected monster
• Click to cast a spell. Note that the heal and freeze spells are relative to the cursor position.

Thank you for checking out my game. I know it's sloppy and unfinished, but I hope it's playable, maybe even enjoyable. Any feedback is hugely appreciated!
