this is a really good base to what could be a pretty neat tower defense! new ennemies and ways to protect yourself could make a more in-depth build stand-out. also this build looks already pretty clean (especially the font for the main screen and the pause menu icon!)

only thing I didn't really get is if my money was going up due to time or due to me destroying meteors!

Pretty good concept!

Game is fun but a bit traightforward, planet  may be a bit bigger to better accomodate all the weapons and it misses a bit of variety in terms of types of weapons you can place on earth and types of enemies you are facing, but is certainly due to the deadline of the jam being a bit too tight
It feels good to play though, and is a clean and complete game, for a 1man team its solid, good job! :D

Game Review Time

What I liked

The premise was solid, with a respectable link to the theme, as is on a large scale. The controls are good, with a clear give and take on building the guns on earth as it rotates. The graphics were good, readable, and represented things which the narrative you were trying to present.

What I didn't like

I will say that you did a good job on adding sound effects to your game, a lot of games in jams skip that and suffer for it. I would however say that the sound effects are a little loud and intrusive. I would maybe tone them down a little, and add a small amount of pitch variance to them with each shot. I managed to win the game, but I still don't know how much a single turret costs.

Potential Improvements

Guns should probably have a bit of a hit box which stop other guns from being placed to occupy the same space, otherwise the best start is to build guns just at the very center of the planet, as that point rotates much faster than the outer rim, and thus covers more effective range. A bit of feedback when the planet is hit, such as a tiny amount of screen shake would be good. I would maybe recommend a bit of gun variance, with some firing out a laser, or a scatter shot. That is if you were planning to increase the scope of the game.

Overall Thoughts

The game was quite short, but sweet, with a tight game play loop that could easily be expanded into a good variety of options / directions. You have a solid base to build something quite interesting with an idea that has seen good execution.

Fun concept, but it really does need more content in terms of turret types and threats besides meteors. Here’s some more feedback:

• Its very unbalanced initially as you lose a ton of health before being able to set up sufficient turrets, and then it becomes very easy to survive. So the balancing in terms of meteor spawns needs some work.

• It would also be good if there was a UI indication along SFX to show that you can’t buy a turret with insufficient funds. General rule of thumb when considering user experience is that you should never make them feel like their input is ignored by the game.

Otherwise, good job in submitting a game to the jam, and good luck with future projects!

I love tower defense, this  one is interesting with rotating towers :)

Simple but fun! I managed to beat the game with a sliver of health left, which felt great. Well done!

Little and simple tower defence game. Great work!

Cool space tower defence game! Today I saved the planet XD

That's a good game ! I like tower-defense games so that's pretty much a great one ! Love it :)

i always love tower-defense games, and this ones an interesting take! more turret types would be a lot more fun and engaging, and maybe some different asteroids / having asteroid spawn rate increase over time would increase playtime. great concept!

Simple concept, has potential to expand more. Was confusing when I would be able to buy more turrets so having an indicator of some sort or visual feedback would have been helpful. Nice job!

Simple game but working well, GG!

Cool game idea and gameplay. My feedback is that the audio is a bit too loud and perhaps annoying. Hope to see the options funtion. The creativity is good and style too, I enjoyed the gameplay/idea the most
If you're wondering , heres my rating :D :
Enjoyment: 4

short and sweet! I just barely managed to survive
