I liked the change in lighting when the time changes, it was visually interesting. I took a bit of time to understand the controls and figure out what to do, and it’s also a shame there’s only one round :( But yeah good game :)
Great visuals and music! Had a bit of trouble at the start since I didn't know what to do, also had some performance issues in the browser version. But great work, hope you develop the game further!
I look forward to seeing this developed further. I can appreciate the work put into this game. So many different mechanics used. Great effort.
seems like the game only have 1 round. and i realise there is a visual cue for the rats spawn point after my 2nd try. great job!
Took a while to get the hang of it, especially the trap timing! A bit of tutorialising would have helped too, but the other comments helped me figure it out! Great job!
I like music :3
But i have a bag (?). After the first wave, the rats no longer appeared.
Interesting twist having to click on traps in real time to activate them. Nice touch adding a day-night cycle. Navigation and interface felt a bit confusing, and cards shown after selecting houses are hard to read unless you carefully position in the right way.
Getting overwhelmed by rats LOL, the billboard effect on the sprite of the rats is hilarious too, nice game hahaha
I liked the atmosphere of this a lot; the music contributed a lot, as did the cool lighting effects.
I had some trouble figuring out what to do until I went back and reread the description to see that I have to click on buildings to do things. I placed some traps and the first wave of rats came, and then when they were all gone, nothing else happened. I'm not sure if this is a bug or just the end of the game? I tried it twice and got the same result. Though in both cases, one rat got through.
Speaking of, there was a delay between clicking on the trap and it activating; I hear one click, and then a second later, another click and the animation. Is that deliberate? I found it very difficult to time it, especially with the drunken fist style movement of the rats. Maybe just me?
Rats are indeed drunk a bit atm :) The trap delay is written in the card description but maybe we should have written it more clearly. For now is 1 wave did not have time for more. We'll update later :)
Cool game I think more waves would have been good, the music and style of game is nice! It took me a minute to understand how the cards work, as I was clicking them not dragging them onto the path, but it is super cool once I understood, I think it could be improves with more trap types as as well as more waves, also you should have money in the game to spend on more traps that you can get from killing rats! I feel bad for the rats though :( , good game though!
We did not have enough time to implement more waves since spend much time on the core mechanics but the concept is there which we'll be improving :) Thanks for feedback!
really awesome, love the use of lighting and would love to see it fully polished off/developed further :D
Thanks!
Wish there were more levels! I love the idea of this game and the bgm enhances the atmosphere the theme
Thank you very much! Yes, we are working on expanding the levels :)
Really interesting idea! I did find the cards a little hard to read. I thought the art and music where really cool! Congrats on your submission!
Thanks a lot for the feedback!
it is a tower defense with cards! interesting idea!
some feedback: the cards are hard to read when zoomed out. the game also soft locked me after the first wave =/
Thank you very much! We will try to fix it
