Visuals of the game looks pretty cool :)

I like the implementation of the tower defense it works very well. Unfortunately I couldn't upgrade, move or remove towers at all. I tried the web and download version but had this issue in both.

I saw the VOD from @Codoor his steam and saw that it worked on his end so its strange but overall looks like a nice game.

Hey, sorry for that the bug came in the latest patch. But now it should be fixed in the browser version!

Edit:Fixed in other versions too!

Some gameplay and feedback in the VOD from the stream:

Thanks for the feedback! it was great seeing someone playing the game, also now those layering issues and the bug where you click on an object behind the UI should be fixed.

Edit:Added on downloads, also now you can desect towers by clicking out of the box!

Nice art! Tower defense games are always fun, and having random effects on the game each attempt was interesting. 

Maybe just a brain fart on my end, but I didn't realize how the map worked right away (even though it said move with WASD lol). So, I didn't even know the enemy lanes were connected lol. Maybe start the game a bit more zoomed out? Maybe just a "me" thing lol.

Good work!

Thanks for the feedback!In the newest update you can now see the sides of the road when you start the game.

Nice music and art, I really enjoyed the the random cheat functions. Good Job!

Developer

Thanks for the feedback!

Submitted

Hm, it`s so pretty game. There is excellent graphic and music!

Developer

Thanks for your feedback!

Excellent game! I am a big fan of tower defense games and this was a great take on the genre and concept! The art and music hit their marks, and I especially like how the music ramps up over time!

My only critique (and I mean this in the most constructive way possible) is to maybe restructure balancing. I tried a few different setups strategy-wise, and I found a lot of success with just clumping towers together instead of strategically placing them.

Besides that, it's a fantastic game and proof of concept!


Excellent Job and Game On!

Developer(+1)

Thanks for the feedback! I think the solution for that is to make a longer and more complicated path, definetily something to think about next time.

Submitted

the art was great,  music fun and fitting

the idea of the cheat was good however it didn't randomize on a new game you have to reload the page for it to do so. 

Developer

I think you just got the same one various times, or it's some weird unity bug.

Submitted

A bit more explanation would have helped but overall, great game!

Developer

Thanks for the feedback! Mayde adding a bigger tutorial in the future.

Submitted

the art style was super chunky and fun :D (I'm a pixel artist so ofc that was the first thing I noticed   😅) really fun game! Sometimes I was unclear how much the cosmic intervention was a "cheat" but it was a pretty unique concept and I had fun playing so well done!

Developer

Thanks for the feedback! Our artists definitely made really good art!

Submitted

I liked it, but I often felt lost. Great concept though!

Developer(+1)

Thanks for the feedback! Maybe adding a bigger tutorial next patch.

Submitted

Great game, I really like the art. I had experienced some small bugs. Also the difficulty seems too easy. But really cool game after all!

Developer

Thanks for the feedback, the game was made harder now in the newest patch.

Submitted

Cool Game. A solid tower defence core with a interesting concept. At times I did not know if the intervention was in play or not and some of the felt a little powerful. More involvement of that mechanic and health bars on enemies would help round out the game. Great stuff!

Developer(+1)

Thanks for the feedback! health bars were added in the newest patch also the game should be more balanced now.
