Cool mechanix, could use some music
Just... perfect :) Nothing to say.
Nice game!
At first I sprayed arrows everywhere before I realized that I could aim my shots :D
Great job! I left some feedback on the main page, but I'll just let anyone stopping by this rating page know that I LIKED THIS GAME!
:thumbsup:
Yes I saw it. Thanks for the feedback and for playing. I do agree. Was not even sure I would keep the different angle options or not. :)
Beautiful graphics, excellent mechanic on the bow and arrow, sweet little game but badly needs some music! I'd love to make some for it!
Haha yes in the beginning in the jam I had hoped to spend the last day on polish and sfx/music, but that time never came. I would like to give it a go myself so I can get a grip on how to do it in pico-8. Thanks for the offer though, greatly appreciated. Hope you had a wonderful jam! :D
i lost a couple times, before realizing that “down” is also a shoot button. THAT made things a lot easier!
Simple and sweet game-play with a very polished visual presentation!
The tower rising up meant I could not just commit my arrow shots to muscle memory, which improved the experience quite a bit.
Really enjoyed the concept, and the art (Pico8 was an excellent choice). All it's missing is SFX and music!
Well done, and good luck! :D
Really like the art!! Very polished and fun too! Awesome work! :D
Great art and visual effects. I had to guess what the controls were, not sure if I missed something. Fun otherwise.
Thanks. A small intro/tutorial would be nice to have. :)
Simple but super fun gameplay. I would love to see more kinds of upgrades! Great job!
Thank you! Agreed, some more types of upgrades would be nice. Wanted a more interesting ending but didn't have time. :)
I really loved the game! Really hope to see more versions of this. Such as when upgraded your bow can shoot exploding arrows and stuff
Thanks! That's a nice idea.
Really fun and well balanced mechanic. I like how the way you play changes as your tower grows. You should totally add sound!
Thank you! Haven't tried making sounds in PICO-8, but I'm sure it's pretty cool. Will probably try it out at least. :)
Such a cool gameplay loop! The way you have to change what angle you shoot at as your tower improves is really interesting, got mildly addicted to it not gonna lie. If this had some music behind it and some more tower upgrades, it would be a killer mobile game!
Thanks for the nice comment. :)
A minimalist, fun, well made and smart game. Really enjoyed.
Woho, thank you!
