That was cute! We love the sound, especially the hit sound. Very nice mechanics, but you need to think how to place towers and bombs. Fun game, good job!

Cool idea and the graphics are nice! The theme was implemented well.
It seems like the character doesn't really move in the actual 4 directions but rather in the 4 directions of the field (which is rotated)? This makes navigation a bit frustrating. The friendly fire is troublesome and it's unclear where you're placing the turrets. In general the game is very hard due to issues like these.
I noticed you've mentioned the missing music - that would've been easy if you had a teammate. I would recommend you work in a team next time - it's a really good exercise in teamwork and you'll notice you can get a lot more done together.
You did a lot for such a short jam, so good job! This could definitely be a very fun game with some updates.

Nice tower defense, a bit difficult but funny. Art look really cool

Not bad at all, the levels do get a bit wild quickly but this is a good thing, the sound effects and visual effects are great, my only complaints are the lack of music and that the turrets immediately take a potshot at you the moment they spawn leading to an easy hit, It's kinda funny in a way how the non shooting enemies do more to protect you then the turrets do by tanking turret shots.

Well Done! I really enjoyed it and it’s art style. Well Done!

Defending the tower whilst your own defense can hurt you is interesting! And implement the theme as spawning something every 3 seconds is cool!

The level gets chaotic quite quickly lol. It's almost impossible to dodge everything in a small level. I enjoyed the game. Great job!

I liked the style of the game. The models and animations are really well done, especially the bomb explosion. I do miss some type of ending or finish for each level. In the last map I could just repeat the same movement pattern over and over without dying. Overall a great game:)

I couldn't get a handle on the controls, kept shooting myself. Cool concept though, very cute artsyle.

Warning: Contains cute visuals, but the most rage inducing difficulty. LOL 

An Interesting tower defense themed game, but I could never get more than a few towers in as they'd just end up shooting me.

Cute visuals,

Fun idea, I think for a jam game you probably wan to air on the side of making the game a little too easy that too hard.  I get it making a tutorial isn't always with in the time budget, so making it easy to play lets people get the idea more easily.

I wish I had a little more control of where I can place the turrents, and there wasn't friendly fire as I got kiled by myself a bit XD.

But definitely a really solid idea visually appealing game there.

Well done.
