Would be good to organize the challenge a lit bit, but in general, the game is so interesting in the genre of tower defense. Also, information about the enemy would be good to know in 1 place the hover to each one. Because when it moves it just flicks. Also was hard to understand how upgrades work

Snap - thx - The game does have a pause on space - thx for giving it a go

Good game!! I think it goes from really easy to really hard a bit too quickly, maybe adding more levels or making the 2nd level a bit more challenging would help. Well done!

Thank you so much for playing my game - Balancing was the main issue I had.

Best tower defense game I have seen in this jam so far! I love the gold collection sound and animation!

Developer

Thank you for your kind words

Interesting and fun game. Loved the music! Perhaps end the main music at the end so that I could enjoy my victory song. ;)

Developer(+1)

Very good spot - about the BG and the win music - thx.

No worries. Running games might not be your thing, but would really like to get your feedback. Dev to Dev.

Oh, that's an interesting concept, card game and tower defense game at once. I could see this becoming a full game!

It does have a few issues and low variety right now, but that's to be expected from a jam game.

Awesome that you gave it a go - thx

very nice tower defence game. i love the driving music and the upgrades are also making sense. 

The game crashed in the middle of level 3, but no problem, it's a jam game overall.

oh and the coin animation and sound was very satisfying :)

this is was the first tower defence game i've ever played. so you can now say that your creation was someones first ever tower defence  experience! :)

Developer

Thank you for giving it ago - sorry about the crash

ah, no reason to be sorry, it was still a great game and was still more stable than cyberpunk 2077  :-)

Really nice tower defense

I like card based upgrade system, and the fact you can choose to sell one instead of just discard to try and gain more for a chosen upgrade.

Though i gotta say i'm not that good with anything strategy based in games XD so i failed the 3rd level cause my turrets got destroyed and i didn't gain enough to replace some quick enough, but here i'll bet it's more on me than the game :p

Regardless, good job :)

Thx for giving it a go - Level 3 is a killer - Need to spend a lot more time with balance.

I have always wanted to make a tower defense game, interesting to combine it with a card system! I was not a huge fan of towers being destroyed with how the game currently is, price is so expensive for them that I felt as soon as it did die if I placed another I found it often died immediately and it was a waste. Having upgrades with such a short round length is also a bit tough because before you can really buy or have any sense of them the round is pretty much over. Cool what you are aiming for and I am sure you can continue to make interesting combinations of games!

Developer

You should give it a try - The biggest issue I have is with balancing. Thx for your feedback

Submitted(+1)

to short

Developer

Thx for giving it ago - more levels or more waves ? 

Would it be better to have one level with 10 waves ?

I really looking for feedback on this game

Submitted(+1)

Sweet another TD game, you really did a better job than me at the placing with the drawing cards feeling smooth and allowing only at certain spots to be placed which limits the player’s freedom but makes the player think less about spamming towers at random places so that makes sense overall enjoyed the game!

Developer

Such a nice complement - thx - TD are hard - Balancing is just out of my depth - not 100% sure what to change and where

Submitted(+1)

Exactly had the same experiences, glad someone else felt the same way too!

I like the interpretation of the theme, but the levels felt a bit short to fully take advantage of the enemy evolution.

Developer

Awesome that you played the game - I 100% agree - thx
