I'm always a sucker for mech-building games, so I of course liked the concept of this one. It's interesting trying to build your mech with different parts in order to create an absolute monster build.
I would have loved to see more towers that were unlocked quicker in order to get more use out of the diverse options, as well as being able to switch out towers after you placed them. Also, some more challenging enemies and what-not could of also definitely spiced up the game, but I understand that sticking to the scope of game is important so this is just a wish-list of sorts.
Overall it's a nice game with some well put-together art and some banging music and nice sound effects. I really enjoyed seeing my mech towers expand and grow and then absolutely shredding the bosses. It was short and sweet, just how I like them. Keep up the good work!
Thanks for the extensive review and ideas. I'm glad you enjoyed it.
The OST was a banger, Really cool idea of a moving crab castle with towers!
Also me in the opening of the game :
Wow! What a cool game. I was a bit sad that i maxed out my crab before the first boss, because i couldnt swap out my buildings for the new ones, but it felt great collecting all the treasures :)
Yeah, switching out the towers was definitely something I was going to implement but I ran out of time in the end. Thanks for playing, im glad you enjoyed it.
I think this game has done the best it could. The movement for the spider characters feels just right, and the combat is pretty good too. However, maybe because of the limited time, I felt there wasn’t much room for strategy when playing. Anyway, I’ve made a similar game before, and that one took me three months. Considering this was made in just seven days, it’s pretty impressive.
You are 100% correct on the strategic play. I was planning on having a pass at balancing the different towers so it was more of a choice before the jam ended. But, yknow, time. So at the moment you can easily win the game using just those first towers, as long as you get the movement down. Thanks for playing.
a very satisfying and fun game. The mechanics are very good. Everything is pretty good. The music is good but seems to be too loud. The only complaint I have is with the art and ui, its not readable and definitely needs a rework
Hey thanks for playing, im glad you enjoyed. Yeah i get what you mean about the ui, ill probably have another pass at it at some point.
A very creative idea, I really liked everything, especially the music. I think it just needed a few tweaks to the UI, but other than that, you did a great job!!
Hey, thanks for playing, im glad you liked it. What tweaks to the UI where you thinking of?
Ah, sorry, I forgot to mention that these adjustments would mainly be for the non-fullscreen mode, where some images overlap each other. In fullscreen mode, however, everything looks great and works well. :)
i get what you mean, thanks for the input.
I really enjoyed the game mechanics and if felt smooth to play
Im glad you enjoyed it, thanks for playing.
This game was simple but very fun. I liked the animation of the legs, and the music was nice too. I do wish there was a way to replace a component that I've already placed, but other than that I thought it was great!
Yeah, that was on my to do list, but i ran out of time to implement the switching, and also the balancing between the different towers. Thanks for playing, and the feedback.
Pretty fun concept. I like how large the player is compared to the enemies on screen. Makes you feel more menacing. Great submission.
Very good! I like this game. The music is very good and fits well with the game. Great job!
I enjoyed it very much
