How did you implement the Theme and Special Object?
There a 4 anvils in the map. You can kill the elves be choosing to hit them with a candy cane or picking them up and smashing them on the anvil and getting more points. Armored elves can also only be killed on the anvil as the candy canes don't do damage.

Game gets pretty hard in later rounds, but I still had a good time playing it, even though I'm bad at tower defense. Also, I liked how you had to destroy the evil armored elves by smashing them onto anvils.
Thanks so much for your feedback! I had a hard time deciding the best way to make the game challenging but not too difficult! Thanks again and I'll be sure to check out your game!
This game is really fun. I enjoyed it as soon as I heard the banger music which plays immediately, and never gets repetitive. The gameplay loop was really fun, and the mechanic of needing to carry the armoured elves away from the presents and killing them made the game better on a whole new level.
One issue I had was some lack of sound effects. For example I couldn't really tell if an elf had died, and a sound effect could have definitely helped. The art and animations all feel really smooth and match the overall style you were going for.
The game is also really hard, and each round gets more challenging. I got to round 11 and was overwhelmed by three armoured elves targeting my present, and without the ornament bomb, I knew I had lost. Great game overall!
Thanks so much for your feedback! I'm glad you enjoyed the game and I'll be sure to take your criticism into account for my next game! Thanks again so much and I'll be sure to check out your game as well!
Very nice game! It was a bit difficult for me and the armored enemies left me a bit confused, but overall a fun concept! 5/5. Would you mind rating our game btw?
thanks so much for your feedback I really appreciate it! I will be sure to check out your game!
Thank you
It was quite fun, and I really like the mechanic of squishing the heavy boys with the anvil. Really fun in an interesting way. I do think that some of the assets have different scales for the pixel art which makes it look a little strange, but overall quite nice. Good job.
yea you are correct about the scales. Had some trouble trying to get assets online match up. I appreciate your feedback and ill be sure to check out your game!
Well done! I had a lot of fun. This is actually very similar to my game so it was interesting to see a different concept. I enjoyed the store, except I kept wanting to press the escape key when I was in there and it would get me all messed up. So maybe that was just me but I think that might be a natural reaction to want to escape. Good job though! I got to 9 rounds and lost haha
Hey thanks so much for checking out my game I'll be sure to give your's a look as well! Totally get the store thing and I'm pretty sure I remember thinking I needed to change that but must have forgot lol. Thanks again and best of luck!
Haha I think you can totally expand on this! It was fun
