We had a similar take on the theme! Really liked the roll animation. I would have played more but i felt it really needs a 2x / 3x button
Thanks! Unfortunately, my inexperience on the team meant spending a lot of time on those dice animations and not having enough time for a speed up button haha.
The idea is realy cool!!!
Thanks!!
This was really addicting. I spent way too long playing it.
Also, did I recognize some Godot Control nodes in there?
Yup! One of the guys on our team had used Godot before and recommended it. It was my first time using it but it worked great!
Nice! Probably my favourite engine. We used it for the jam too!
Again, nice work on the game!
lasersarrow towers.Most of my feedback has already been said below, but some other thoughts I had:
- wish there was a 2x speed button, sometimes the wave feels like it takes forever :<
- being able to edit where the tower is placed before the round starts. Sometimes I would misclick a tower position, and for a tower like the arrow tower, it just makes it useless
- have the waves be more consistent in difficulty scaling would be nice. I try to maximize upgrades and minimize used towers, so if in one level I start leaking enemies, I would put in more towers the next level. But then it turns out that one singular level is the hardest one for the next 10 waves and I get sad
- at really long range the crystal tower just misses. idk if this is intended behaviour, but my "infinite range" sniping fantasy of a lvl 30 crystal tower was shattered
Thanks for playing! That is all great feedback, some of it we were already kind of aware of but ran out of time. Sorry to hear your sniping fantasy was ruined. I wasn't super involved in the tower design personally (my 2 teammates handled that more).
This is a really solid concept and I'd love to see it developed further. I really love the core mechanic of rolling for which towers you get to place, but being able to lock the ones you liked.
I didn't really use the upgrade feature tbh
I'd have loved to see some tooltips on what the towers do when you mouse over them, because on my first roll I had no idea what anything was.
I was a little surprised to see that all my towers were gone each round, I've have liked to build up a defense rather than it being 100% what rolls I get that turn.
Overall, great work, this has a lot of potential
Thanks for the feedback! Erasing the towers was supposed to make the dice rolling feel more important each round and we tried to use the upgrade system as a fresh take on the "building up defenses" part of the tower defense game.
We really wanted to get more helpful tooltips like what you described, but ran out of time. :(
Thanks for the reply, good to know! Next time!
