fun tower defense / tetris blend! i found the ui a bit difficult to understand so something a bit cleaner there would help
Thank you for the feed back ! The Ui in game or the one where it explains the rules ?
mainly the one that explains the rules
Really cool game! Love the tetris idea to defend and the fact that it's your own engine really cool ^^
Thank you ! :)
I didn't get the gist from the first play, but when I did – I got really excited! It's a really interesting idea. Maybe the game could benefit from a different perspective because it was difficult to understand the height of each building. Also, I was unsure how to play smart because it was difficult to remember what color does what. Overall – great job, amazing game!
Thank you for taking the time to play the game ! Yes i still don't have a clear solution for the tower height perspective which is a bit hard to see when they become to big :/ Maybe a clear outline or the ability to rotate the perspective of the camera ? I will try different thing and see what comes best!
Glad that you were excited at the end !
Interesting game! I wasn't quite sure what I was doing at times, I saw that the different colors did different things but then instantly forgot what effect they had once I was ingame. I also totally missed that I could stack the blocks at first but once I understood that it made a bit more sense :P
I wanted to make all the color block scale different value of the tower, and the lack of time made me keep a simpler game loop ! So i didn't want to overwhelm players with stat for a simple game !
Hope you still had a bit of fun with the game :) !
I had a lot of fun with this one! Trying to solve this 3D puzzle tower defence was super engaging, great job!
Thank you ! Glad that it was fun :)
This feels very good, the pixelart and effects are so good! This feels so polished! Please continue to work on this, I could see this as a good game for streamers to play! :)
It is not as polished as your ;) Thank you for taking the time to play my game !
Very polished game, stacking pieces is a really cool mechanic. Maybe i would have put a little icon to show what color does for colorblind people. Great entry!
Thank you for the feedback ! I didn't think about that I will had a colorblind mode for the next releases !
A very interesting game! My playthrough went like this:
1m: what the heck does "check height" do? it always just shows 0 or 1
2m: i don't get it, but my random spam seems to be working
3m: OHH! you can stack on top!! that's clever!
4m: why don't i just stack all the same pieces on top of each other, then i don't have to think...
5m: i have an organized chaos of huge towers of the same piece, i'm unstoppable
6m: i'm rich
7m: oh no, the "pesky circles" are getting stronger... my towers will slowly fall...
8m: my king!! not like this!!
9m: oh wait, new towers crush circles?? SPAM CLICK AGAIN
10m: the circles may have destroyed my city, but we emerge victorious. hurray!!!
I quite enjoyed the progression of gameplay, even if it may not be what you intended... haha
I think the tower stacking mechanic could be really interesting in a puzzle context as well! Thanks for the game
Thank you for the playthrough, it is somewhat what I wanted people to experience with the game ! I just would have like if the stacking was more intuitive and the 7m OH NO was a bit earlier ! Glad you enjoyed the game !
It's an impressive game that starts with a really great idea, although it's difficult to check the altitude and the game is simple. I'm looking forward to the game's development.
Thank you for playing ! Wanted to keep the gameloop simple to avoid scope creep but I will add more thing ! I will keep you in touch with the dev :)
this is addicting
also a custom engine?! that's really cool!!
elevation is a bit hard to see though
Thank you for playing the game ! Yes it is a bit hard to see especially once the towers start to be really big ! I still don't have a clear cut solution for this but i hope it was not that tough to get accustomed to !
Custom engine is very impressive! Especially with how great the graphics and gameplay is! well done! Fun take on a tower defence, pacing of the bad guys is a little slow, but so fun placing and stacking blocks, well done!
Hehe Glad that you had fun and thank you for playing the game ! I didn't find the balance in early to not get the player overwhelm but at the same time just enjoying placing some tower ! And at the end the difficulty spike quite a bit so it good that the player have time to build the tower !
Congratulation for using a custom engine, that's a pretty cool result! It was a bit hard to see the elevation sometimes, but it was still a pretty cool and interesting game :D!
Thank you for taking the time to play the game ! Yes the elevation problem is quite an issue that I still don't have a good answer to :/ To makeshift a bit I put the elevation text when you try to put a tower at a wrong spot !
it was a good solution imo! You were quickly able to see what part was wrong
Thank you ! I wasn't sure that it was clear enough but I see that at least it helped you :)
First off, kudos to you for creating your own game engine. seriously impressive! This is a solid tower defense game that fits the theme nicely. I love how the same shape, or even smaller shapes, can be stacked. didn't catch that at first, but it's really clever. Looking forward to seeing more enemy variants in future updates!
Thank you for playing my game ! Yeah the more feedback I see the more i need to introduce the stacking mechanic early ! I will keep you updated once the game is bit more fleshed out ;)
Really impressed that you made this whole game all the way down to the engine. Kudos! Fun and really well made. Good job!
Thank you for taking the time to play my game ! Glad that you had some fun :)
This is a GREAT game for being made by a single person and an own game engine. The game loop is addictive and the game feels engaging. :D
Great Job
Thank you ! Glad that you find the game engaging :)
You can look at my game too
Fun tower defense game. It's somewhat of a mix between a top down Tetris and a tower defense game. I like the idea, I encountered a little bug on Firefox but nothing major. Cool game.
Thank you for taking the time to play the game ! Oh really i did only test the web build for chrome and if could tell me the bug or how to reproduce it on firefox I will gladly take a look around ! :)
On Firefox after clicking Run Game, the game starts in a popup window that goes full screen, while on chrome the game runs properly in the itch.io page, just a minor bug that could be also related to itch.io, I'm not sure. I resized the popup and I played the game, so nothing preventing playing it.
Oki thank you i will look into it ! :)
Very fun game, nice work :D
Thank you ! :)
Really cool take on tower defence, I thought the graphics were great.
I am wondering about the balance, I seemed to just be able to place infinite blocks and filled the screen. (I saw I had gold but I never seemed to get too low)
Would be very grateful if you tried our game!
Thank you for playing my game, I wanted to make the player feel powerful and not worry about the gold as I didn't have enough time to balance everything out ! I already played your game and it is quite well made and polished !
Awesome entry. We loved the art style!
Thank you for taking the time to play my game !
Really cool idea!
Thank you !
