Good stuff! I found the sound effects made it difficult to enjoy, but it was a lot of fun! Amazing work for 48 hours!

Reminds me of some of the old Flash tower defense games I used to play as a kid.

Sound effects were a little bit too harsh for me. Still, very impressive for 48 hours and for your first game in 25+ years. :)

Thanks, was basically a kid back then, but... that means... I'm old... ahhhhh!

Developer

"Harsh" is probably the best way to describe how the sound feels after a while. Thanks for the kind words!

Cool retro style game, great work! 

I did have a few annoyances where my guns would fire endlessly at flying aliens (?) instead of the guys on the ground that were destroying my tower, but otherwise it was dead cool.

Would be very grateful if you tried our game!

Developer

Thanks for your kind review! The guns should fire at the closest enemy within a certain range, and if it failed that, maybe there's a bug.

interesting game! the sound effects were a little loud, though. overall really nice!

Played through to the ending.  Simple and fun, perfect for a jam. The limitation on how high to build was a nice touch and messaged to the player in a way that was intuitive.  I did have to mute the game when too much was going on half way through.  The play length is a little long for a jam entry imo.

Thanks for playing! It does get quite noisy, if I hade more time I'd like to have spent more time tweaking the sounds to alleviate that.

Very simple but effective. It was too hard for me to win it, but I still had fun!

Small but a good game I don't usually like tower defense game but this one was fun

Really simple and cool game. Loved the idea

Really nice idea! I don't why, but the sound bugged out for me and it played the same sound over and over again really fast. Besides that really nice game!

Developer(+1)

I haven't seen that but then every piece of tech for this was new to me so messing something up seems... likely, thanks! :-)
