Nice one! Good sounds and graphics, and really tied on the theme!

I also agree with some comments to pause the game while choosing the upgrades and a more feedback when getting hit.

It's quite a fun game to play in a small amount of time. Great work!

I enjoy these single tower defense-type games more than placing multiple towers and trying to juggle a dozen things at once.  You did a great job on this.

Adding some hit sprite animation effects would be nice.  I think if you make it so the player can hold down their button to attack the enemy continuously that'd save a lot of the tiredness the player will feel.  I think you can make the upgrade menu slow down the game to half speed and then introduce power-ups to increase that pause length would be cool.

Also, when it gets more difficult, I'd like to see automated or semi-automated turret power-ups.

Keep up the good work.

A really fun game with stunning visuals on my part.

I do agree with the previous comments:

  • some visuals that the monster will attack your fire
  • pause on upgrade screen
  • some eye glow in the dark to indicate the monster movements (might decrease some difficulty and make the game more fun IMO)

Cheers!

For a basic click'em up, this one's actually a strong contender! The use of light makes it an interesting and difficult game.

That said, I do echo what the previous commenters say. The game should pause when you're making upgrade decisions, and the feedback on losing health may be a little too subtle.

It's honestly not bad, and you've mastered a lot of basic concepts for Godot. That means you're gonna need to shoot even higher in January!

Simple and interesting concept. Loved the upgrading system, even though I sometime forgot to open it up to check what I can upgrade - maybe the upgrades* should always be displayed without being hidden!

Other then that, loved the attention to details, such as enemies lighting up for a split second to let you know they spawned.

Clicking repeatedly is a bit tiring, I thought it could be cool to have a sword or something to swing from the mouse instead.

I survived for 2mins. I like the concept, but it felt pretty frustrating that the game didn’t pause when the shop was opened. Because of that I basically never knew what any of the upgrades did and solely smashed the cheapest one. I also never knew when I took damage.

Overall, I liked it but did feel like there could be a few improvements. Good job

A cool concept but, in my opinion, the game needs more visual and audio feedbacks about damages and monsters.  Cool visuals : I really like the fire animation.
