Very fun game, love the artstyle!
Interesting take on tower defense, cool game, good music.
Good job! A nice version of Tower defense!
Holy crap that art was great and the music was epic. I haven't played a game like this so it felt like a unique experience for myself with your combination of tower defense and character movement!
Thanks a lot!! Glad u liked so much!!
First of all, I adore the pixel graphics, the animation style of moving enemies and visual effects, the sound effects, which remind me of Newgrounds flash games, which is why I absolutely love it.
and here is my feedback to help the game improve further:
1- Add menus, I just jump into action without a second thought!
2- The control for choosing orbs (1,2,3 on keyboard) and space bar make it difficult to control, which is the only disadvantage of the game; I believe that if you improve it, it will help the game much more.
That's all I've got, great game.
Nice idea! I like the little feedback for when you have an orb selected where it flips but it did feel a little awkward to place them. Perhaps this could be fixed by keeping the last placed one selected or making the selection/placement with the mouse, leaving the keyboard for movement. The XP orbs floating toward you is a nice touch too.
Very cool! Played until was impossible to move due the cluttered orbs/xp hahahaha. I think the XP accumulation was the main slowdown issue.
The art looks cute and nice! Really like your decision to provide cheats for the game jam so that poor players like me can enjoy the game too!
I really loved the game. So much fun to play and satisfying to use orbs.
Love the idea of a tower defense here! It’s a bit difficult, but had tons of fun with the cheats. Reminded me a bit of playing the hacked flash games in the good ’ol days.
Great work!
The art and the music are great. The balancing is a little bit off, i feel like my orbs deal too little and take too much damage, and it took me a while to figure out how attacking worked. Using the cheats to place enough orbs to crash the game was probably my favourite part lol
Lmao I so glad I add the cheats. Thanks a lot for the comment!
Awesome game! I loved the art style, and the game feel when picking up the xp is super nice. A cool twist on tower defense being able to run around and place towers. The music was also awesome!! Fits the theme well with both the towers and the xp being orbs. :)
Thanks so much! I was wondering what XP would be like and seemed logical that I should put orbs there too lol
gud
I never made it past wave 2, but it definitely feels like there was more strategic depth that I could have explored to progress further. The controls for placing towers felt a little clunky since you have to stop moving, but the movement felt really nice.
Thanks for the comment! I really tried to make the game in such a way where you have to be very strategic on where you place the orbs, but I swear there are many ways to go past to further waves lol. Again, thanks so much!
Cool game idea. I loved the artwork and the music. I found it a little too fast paced for me, but then maybe I'm just bad at this sort of game.
Thanks! Im sorry that it was too fast paced. If I do a new update I will certainly work on some sort of different gamemode (or difficult level) that focus less on fast paced combat
