This was awesome! Combining Minecraft style resource gathering with tower defense is brilliant! Having a separate resource track to build and then staff the towers was a clever way to better control ramp up, but I noticed that when I didn't upscale my towers early enough I got outmoded, and then I couldn't take the enemies so I couldn't raise the gold to staff the towers so I could take the enemies, so I got stuck. I did make it to level 22, but when I couldn't stop the boss at level 20 I knew it was over. Is there a way to delete old towers, move recruits from one to another, or build a better tower over an old one? This is just great, though. And hell, a fully animated tutorial video? Amazing polish!
yes if you were to build a tower in the same spot it deletes the tower and recruit and lowers the cost of a recruit again, thank you for the feedback!
Really good game, the graphics are perfect I like the pixel style you used in-game, and the gameplay is super fun, great job :)) I love tower defense games
thank you so much!
Very creative!
I like it a lot, but the problem i see is that the cheapest tower is useless. If i work to build one or two in the first wave they cant kill a fly.
But overall, pretty epic stuff!
This is actually a really good game! I really like the artstyle and idea. The only things I would change are the font and putting the tutorial in a separate menu but all in all, Well Done!
thank you very much, i do plan on changing the tutorial a bit since it was very rushed
Windows only :/
in its current state it is, but i do plan on adding compatibility with other platforms, but for time sake i didn't want to risk the stability.
very good start for a indie game! Take the reasonably complaints as lessons and improve on top of them. You ae heading in the right direction my boy!
Thank you so much!
It's a nice tower defense game, I have a few complaints, but that recruitment price goes up way too fast in my opinion, I wish the recruits had different looks instead of "This is the same guy but he has a different hat!" like how the cover image has unique looking characters. The game gets a bit boring after wave 20 and quite easy to just auto pilot past that point and lastly the player's movement speed is too slow to enjoy
i am fixing all of those issues along with 11 new towers in the coming update, thank you for the feedback!
An interesting twist on a tower defense game! I like the idea!
I'm not sure why but the game runs awfully slow on my laptop. But I really like the idea and the music, too
Sorry to hear that, I fixed that issue in the newer version that isn't released, Thank you for the feedback!
very cool idea, but the difficulty grows too fast. Good job!
Thank you for the feedback, Thanks for playing!
Dont really know if it's just me or is the game a bit too fast.
Anyways enjoyed playing it
The game is supposed to be fast paced, and once you learn the mechanics and patterns the game gets easier, i will agree this version needs to be a bit more user friendly, thank you for the feedback!
That really cool game I love it.
Nice game! That's a cool twist on tower defense!
Glad you like it!
Hey, that was quite good ! I especially liked the chill atmosphere (honorable mention to the announcer at the beginning xD).
However, i don't know if i do something wrong but it feels overwhelming a bit too fast for me. I love tower defense games and usually it's a bit less brutal, but that's only my personal opinion.
That was a good game though, good job ! :)
Thanks, I was going for a very fast-paced gameplay to keep everyone on the edge of their seat
Yeah, i respect that ! I was not saying it was bad, don't misunderstand me ;)
What would you say would make bit a little bit less overwhelming?
Hmmm perhaps just a bit longer waves i would say. The same amount of enemies, but more distributed in time
waves do get to the point where they are long, but further in the game
That's not what i meant. I was suggesting to let more time for the player to familiarize with the gameplay, with slighty longer and weaker waves
really fun tower defense game--i like how the player has to collect resources in order to build towers. i also like the fast gameplay and the added tutorial. i can imagine this game expanding in the future and add more towers, characters, and maps!
I love the voice intro, you can really see there were a lot of hours put into creating this game. Really well polished game experience.
Good job! :>
this game is so addicting the music i can vibe to plus the narrator at the beginning sounds hot
XD
Well made game! Art and gameplay is solid. Nice long tutorial. Definitely kept me engaged and trying to get resources.
Glad you like it!
I like the game Its Awesome Great Job!
Nice Game! Love the art & gameplay
Thanks!!!
