Wow I didnt know more people used the same way to control the sword like I did lol. Nice game man

Fun game, like the art style. I did keep losing even though i had a tower up. Shop was kinda useless in the first few waves when enemies barely dropped coins. Hitting your own towers was an interesting mechanic.

Apologies my liege, there was a rat-goblin gnawing on the tower.

You made the discord vc laugh. Your comedy brings joy to the kingdom.

It's a really cool and integrate concept! I am so happy to have played it!
I love how I have to balance sword size, tower placement, map size and upgrades. Everything seems to have a tradeoff and careful balance. A dream lecture in design! Everything is linked together. One might think a bigger sword is always better, but I quickly learned the difference! I would like to see this expanded upon after the jam! Great stuff, nothing but praise!

Developer

Omg thank you so much!!! <3 <3 <3

I got to 9.2m!

Great take on the theme, I loved the way the game frequently made me feel like the most dangerous thing to my own towers - the slowly growing sword, enemies that can make it spin out of control - was a fun experience!

Very enjoable game ! Didn't understood at first that I was damaging the tower with my own sword :-). 

Developer

It was a little slow at the start but picked up quickly. I liked how the towers have different sprites based on how injured they are to help you know what to priorities. Great work.

Developer

Thks for the feedback!

Lol this game was really fun. I didn't read the blurb about fitting the theme so when I realized my sword was getting big and unwieldly it was a funny moment. Enjoyed this one a lot, so well done!!!

Developer

Thank you so much for the kind words <3
