Great job! The animations and sfx for dragging and placing items were really well done which is nice because its one of the main gameplay mechanics.
I really enjoyed playing this entry. I did find a couple bugs, though. The first has already been mentioned, after my first play I kept the unlocked towers. The other being that once I selected a tower to place it wouldn’t let me select a different tower so I had to place the one I had chosen. I found that made it harder to react to the sudden appearance of an enemy.
I found it fun to play and I have a strong urge to master the game. However, there are a couple things that would help with strategic playing - in my opinion.
With those two changes I reckon my avg. play time would be much longer, giving you time to introduce more challenging enemies.
Wow, that's quite precise feedback, thanks for it! It's great to know you felt the urge to get better at the game, and those suggestions really seem that will make the game quite better, along with the bugs reported.
I'll try to work on a update with the bug fixes, more enemies, and hopeful a more interesting gameplay by then. Right now I'm a bit busy, but it is about time I started to really update the jam versions of our games. Once again thanks for the feedback, and I'm glad you enjoyed playing so much!
Super awesome game, love the idea - that's some great work. Shame about the freezing, this has massive potential!!
I like that game! But the game freezes !
It does? 🤔Strange, I thought I fixed the slowdowns. I'll look better into this, thanks for pointing it out!
I like the concept of this game, good visuals, good gameplay. One of my favorite games on this jam. Just a question about unlocking the buildings. At first, I unlock them by surviving but after I lose, All of them are unlocked. Is it intentional?
True!
Thanks, glad to know you liked it!
And nope, that sure is a bug. Thanks for the report!
Although I was a bit unsure on how to properly protect my planet, after a few turns I got the hang of it. This is a well designed and very fun game. Congrats!
I really enjoyed how you had the Sun make a few turns while the panels were quietly gathering the light. The fact that everything covered the light, (even the shields) gave a sense of strategy on the early waves. After a few seconds, mayhem ensued and not many strategic choices could be made.
While short in gameplay, the graphics are unique and fit the design beautifully!
A more than solid foundation for a juicy and entertaining defence game! Well done!
