How does your game fit the theme?
I used dice instead of towers in my tower defense game. The dice tower's power is randomly rolled, but players can choose to spend some money rerolling their towers rather than placing new ones. As the game ramps up, little decisions compound to make or break you in this little RNG filled tower defense game!

717 killed on my last run!  (Itch appears to be hiding the screenshot, not sure why)

It was going a little slow, so I put it in on my side monitor as an idle game.  Eventually I forgot about it tho.
Simple and easy, but neat concept. 
I kinda wish there were a slider to fast forward (in unreal, change World Timescale) so that I wouldn't have to wait so long for the enemies to get tougher.

That's a great idea! Thanks for playing and that score is already better than mine (512) haha.

Hi! I found the game a bit simple but the idea works quite well, and with a bit more feedback on what's happening (how much an action costs, better view of the enemy's hp, etc.) it could be very fun indeed :)
On a technical note, I would have appreciated a way to control the view with the mouse (I'm using a french keyboard so the WASD keys don't work very well for directions).

Congratulations !

Ah I see, thanks for trying out the game! Mouse controls would definitely be a plus, like a normal RTS.

I like the constant struggle between waiting to buy a new tower or immediately rerolling to try and improve an existing one! Still, the game could use a bit more explanation and for some reason uses up significant amount of processing power

Definitely could use more tutorial haha! Thanks for playing. I'll have to look into how to optimize my game, it's too simple to use up too much processing power.
