The game's unique art style, reminiscent of my own MS Paint days is a stronk choice. The core mechanic of managing resources, upgrading buildings, and defending against the monster is straightforward, as the monster grows larger and stronger, adds a sense of urgency and challenge.



The game really could still benefit from clearer labels and explanations for key elements like the monster's strength, building upgrades, and resource requirements. When the monster becomes too large, you cant see what is happening.
But once you figure out how to not die in first level, it is actually fun. Good job!

I eventually figured out the steps to not instantly lose, but its not very clear when you're doing something or not. Some more visible feedback when upgrading and what level the towers are would be good.
Still had fun once I figured out the basics however. Nice work. Could be a real game.

Developer

Thanks for the feedback ! Unfortunately, the code is too spaghetti so I won't improve it to a "real" game.

I don't really get it, I used all the things but didn't get past the first enemy?

Hey !
Yes the game is missing a few thing to at least tell you how food and upgrades works exactly. But to simplify, you lose early because the food count decreased to 0. Food decreases with how many upgrades you have on all of your buildings and the only way to make it increase is to place a farm and upgrade it.
Thanks for playing the game still ! First GJ that i did and it was a lot of fun.
