Really nice polish, interesting concept! The mouse being inverted kind of threw me off, but otherwise had fun. Good work!
I KNOW!
Do you know the joke?
It is fully implemented to have toggles in the options menu, but forgot to attach new options menu! With the stress of the deadline... A lot of stuff have fell the board in the sky...
However, I am glad you liked it and thanks to have took the time to leave a comment!
The game won't open on my Mac, unfortunately. It's not the usual thing where you can right-click to bypass blocked apps.
I'm mac-only and I had the same problem when we were playtesting. The only thing that fixed it was messing around in the terminal following the instructions in this forum: https://superuser.com/questions/1345755/how-to-fix-the-application-cant-be-opene...
I think we have a better mac build but we ran out of time to upload it to the itch page. Sorry about that, but thank you for trying and giving us feedback!
I wanna start off by saying, what a gorgeous project page.
The game is really well balanced, and the theming is quite innovative. I do have a soft spot for greek inspired games given I am actually greek.
Thank you, I was the artist on the background art, I am glad you like it!
Hello, fellow Greek-inspired game!
This game is so charming & polished! I can confidently say that I've never seen this concept in the jam just yet so I was so pleasantly surprised to see such a fresh take on the theme. The dialogue & puns were my favorite part! I did get stuck midway through & have to restart, but that's completely okay! It was fun to experience the game a second time around. Great game!
Thank you very much for playing our game, we are glad you enjoyed it!
wow really detaileld and polished! your concept is quite different from most! excellent
Thank you for the kind words <333
Real cool concept ! I love myself a good mythology-based game, and the puns were great ! However having my island tilted towards the back of the screen prevented me from seeing anything and being able to fix it, so it was a bit frustrating. Restarting the whole game feels a bit punitive as well. Other than that the level of polish is really great ! Very nice graphics and sound design/music
thanks for checking out the game! There is a way to move the camera but it wasnt quite explained well in the game.
For the sake of prosperity il post the control scheme in the comments here ;)
Very creative! I did lose a couple of my towers because I was to greedy with my placement 😅 The mix of 2D & 3D is very nice aswel! game got stuck after a little while tho sadly so had to restart, but these things happen! :D
Thank you for playing! Unfortunately we are aware of certain issues with waves bugging and needing a restart, we unfortunately just did not have the time necessary to address some of these issues.
Thanks again for the kind words!
Yeah, bugs tend to sneak in during these jams! We have some too, so no worries! :D
An extremely creative, and interesting design for a tower defence game. There's a lot of potential with the tilting management aspect to the game, and I can envision a lot of interesting ways to design towers with unique effects with the tilting mechanic in mind.
Thank you so much for playing and rating! <3
Really fun take on a tower defence game, love the art style and the concept!
Thank you for playing our game and for the kind words!
I like a good tower defense !
The idea was inventive and fun and I liked the art too.
Good job !
Thanks so much!! 🥰
I like the idea and the art, assets and music are great! But I had a couple of issues:
Still a cool game! Great work!
Thank you so much for playing! Yeah, these bugs and issues were annoying us as well but we ran out of time-- I'm hoping that when the jam is over we can polish these all up. Really appreciate the feedback!
Interesting concept, I like it!
