I like your art, had fun watching censored clouds passing by :D
very cool to have to switch between attacking and picking up what the enemies drop. i never really used the book tbh since just killing the enemies always made more sense. very fun though!
Cool game, I loved the upgrades.
I only wish there was some more enemy variety. I lost interest past level 10.
Hey, I played your game on the stream
stream timecode - 1:00
make tutorial on how to collect balloons
Please give my game a try if you have some time!
Thank you so much for playing it on a livestream.
Regarding the controls, you can use the keys "1", "2" and "3" to switch between the tower's weapons.
Use "3" to absorb paint into the tower's gem and use it to buy upgrades at the upgrade room.
write it in the game description
Great game loved the concept!
Great job!
Thank you!
Hello! Cool to play but at first I didn't know how to collect the points.
Good job, keep doing games.
Pretty cool game!
Thanks!
nice art
I really liked this game! The only thing I didn't understand was how to pick the paint after I killed the enemies
Hi, you can toggle between weapons by pression 1, 2 or 3 on your keyboard.
Very interesting game!
I liked the concept and the creepy little babies8 the art style was very polished and good looking!
I wasn't sure what to do after I upgraded everything lol.
Does that mean I won? :)
Hi, thanks for the feedback! This game has endless stages, so maybe buying all the upgrades and dying would be 100% it haha.
lol

A really great accomplishment ^^. Well enjoyed :>
Absolutely mental that you managed to finish this in 72 hours! The game looks absolutely stunning and the story is also very captivating. 11/10 game I LOVED IT <3
Thanks, this game was my most ambitious yet, I had a blast developing it!
The game is very slow, I only played for 20 minutes and I didn't see anything new or special since stage 1. Increase difficulty, introduce new enemies, new upgrade options (you do have them but they take way too long). Art and limitation use are fine though I prefer games with a mechanical use of limitation.
Thanks for the feedback, the game should be "faster" to play now,and more difficult and yeah... more enemies would be awesome, sadly I ran out of time for them.
Wow great improvements, well done!
i try to complete every game before i leave a rating, and this was no exception — seeing that it was endless, i considered “completion” as “emptying the shop”. that took a while! at least a couple hours — long enough that a pause button would have been appreciated
graphically the game is overall fairly nice, tho if i had to complain it would definitely be about the clouds, as their pixel size is noticeably different from that of everything else. it’s as if they’re supposed to be right up against the camera, but they’re clearly also behind everything
i’m not normally into tower-defense style games so i don’t know much about how they tend to play out, but i’m not sure it’s even possible to take damage in this one? multiple times i would move out of the game to chat in discord and the only time my health was lower than full was when i upgraded my max HP and didn’t buy the refill to top off the new capacity
speaking of the upgrades, in one trip i bought the top, bottom, and second-from-bottom HP upgrades, leaving the second-from-top. But after the next round when i reappeared in the shop, it was the topmost that remained available for purchase. it’s as if you just counted how many remained, expecting people to buy from the bottom up?
Thank you for your amazing feedback!!! I corrected most of the issues mentioned in the comment just a while ago!
Yeah, this game lacked some game testing, specially with the enemy generation and the upgrade room, not even I played the game until "full completion".
Thank you so much for pointing out those nasty "end game" bugs, the game should be "faster to play", one can now buy all the shop around stage 10.
Such a cool idea!! I do think that with tinkering it could be way better tho. Game is very slow. (never said this about a video game before) but I really wish I was being swarmed with more enemies as I put my auto clicker on and was MACHINE GUNNING the enemies. I love how the tower works with the gem pulling in the paint as its separate thing is so cool. Def think you need a text skip option or just to have text go faster but its a jam so thats hard to do. Super cool idea
Thanks for the feedback! After testing for a GOOD while, I found out that playing for an hour and a half only led me to Stage 20, and the store is not even half empty... So, wow, I did not know the game was that slow to progress (There are actually infinite stages).
No problem with dialogs as long as I can fast forward through them, but these skip instead of that. I like the tree art, the babies creeped me out. Also the upgrades cost a lot, this game is pretty slow so perhaps the enemies should drop more money.
Yeah... I wanted to make a "Skip current dialogue" option, but sadly, I ran out of time.
Initially, I wanted this game to be a story-heavy game, with "gossip" in between stages, that's why I made the store so expensive at first, so the player engages in the story and there was a game progression (somehow).
Thanks for the feedback!
Interesting tower defense mechanics. I think the game puts you in front of a “Info Dump” right from the start. “Show don’t tell” is a great advice. I love the tree’s sprite, reminds me of Secret of Mana or old D&D Modules.
Thanks, sorry for the information overload, I always wanted to make a game that uses dialogues, so maybe I went a little overboard with it...
