Very fun and also the game not to hard
Very creative, clearly not the classic tower defense :)
A simple concept executed well. I would have liked to see more complexity with the mechanics, but the presentation is nice and it's a good example of a game with a small scope that's actually doable within a jam deadline.
Having to quick shield from multiple incoming attacks was fun, felt kind of like one of the undertale bosses.
The game is fun and the levels have good design since you have to move sometimes back into the range of a tower, while also being in the range of other towers so you have to manage the direction you're facing based on that. Just needs more levels.
(The music choice is very good too)
This was such a good spin on tower defense games.
Thanks for playing :)
This one has lots of potential for sure. Nice sound when deflecting a bullet. Would like to play more levels :)
Glad you liked it! I'll be sure to make more levels in the future.
Everything I saw in this game made me like it more and more. The blocking mechanics are simple in concept yet complex in practice, the player feedback with sound design is high quality, and the inspiration is goated.
An interesting part of this game I liked was predicting when the towers will shoot the bullets, and whether the bullets would overwhelm me due to them clumping up in many different directions. I would then have to jitter the shield around to catch all the bullets, or take damage. In fact, it reminds me of a certain fight in Undertale ;)
In fact, literally the only gripe I have about this game is that there are only two levels. That is a complement. I had so much fun that I was disappointed when there wasn't more.
Bravo, mate. Bravo.
Haha as I was making it I did think of Undyne a few times. Thanks for playing. I think this might be one of those games were I work on after the jam to make more levels so more to come in the future :)
