Feel like I barely need to mention it but yeah the graphics are amazing, love the paper look and the animations and how it combines so well with the 3D! That along with the really unique execution of the quite common idea of a reversed tower defense makes this a gem, great work!

What can I say, it's cute as hell! The concept alone of tower suddenly sprouting wheels attacking you is great and game play is solid enough to keep you entertained till the end. Good job!

The gameplay was fine, but honestly that’s just a bonus after being presented with such a charming opening cut-scene. I certainly didn’t expect to see an oblivious little monster scribble get spooked by my tower sprouting wheels. It’s very cute.

Very cool game!

Great game... I played it through... keep me updated if you ever expand on it.... I dig the idea of a Mad Max style tower bristling with weapons mowing down enemies... good luck with the jam :)

really enjoyed the art style, it really reminded me of the cut scenes in battle blocks theater (which is a game I love / used to play a lot) game play is pretty simple though being near impossible to loose but is still creative and pretty fun

Developer

Yeah I used to play a ton of battle block theatre! Love that game, definitely an unintended inspiration

I am in love with this game's graphics, the paper aesthetic is really cool! I also really like the concept, but I didn't find a lot of use for the shield or the flame thrower, just getting 4 canons seemed to be the most effective strategy for me.

This game is really awesome. I really like your reversal of tower defense.

How did you do the paper look on the enemies and trees?

Developer

Thank you! To make the paper cutouts I hand drew the art in gimp and added it as a texture onto a plane in blender, where I used the knife tool to loosely cut around it.
