Chasing after your towers is a fun twist on the standard TD game, I really liked the aesthetics of the game and the level designs were fun. Some incentive not to place all your towers on the same space would be good as most multiple paths maps had one spot that was really powerful so I put everything there. Overall it was a really nice job!
Very engaging game, I felt quite satisfied beating it.
A few points where it can be improved:
1) lower the sound volume, it's way too loud
2) make horse upgrade stack (it looks like placing more than 1 horse does nothing)
3) rotate the UI part for the animals to make it look like a rhombus - I was constantly forgetting what button to press to place what animal
4) remove some drawn UI elements like range for the turrets and especially that yellow line from the horse to the player. I get it that one needs to know those ranges, but those clean 1px curves just do not fit the game visually.
I like the that you have to move around a lot in this game it cuts the boring waiting part of tower defense games , I think there could be a bit more strategy involved in this game , because as it is now the best strategy is to collect as many animals as you are able to until you place just as many as needed on a part on the map where the paths of the enemies cross or directly before the egg .
A possible solution for this would be to carry only one of each animal at a time and design the map so that there is no best position for placing your animals , this could be maybe made more interesting by letting you upgrade the animals .
But anyways this is by no means bad game I enjoyed it until the end , the music is fantastic , gameplay is fast paced and overall well polished . keep up the great work
I like tower defense games, and having you move around the map to collect towers to place is a cool idea. This is a good foundation for a game, I'd like to see more of it.
I feel like the beginning map is a bit rectangular given you have to move around using the bridges (which is cool btw). So the later levels were more interesting, and you could make each level shorter to explore more. It would be cool to have the levels themed a bit more (e.g. parts of the farm).
Some more strategy in terms of turret placement etc. would be good (there's a bit of that later on with the two path level, which is cool).
Other than that, just some extra sounds, animation, effects etc. to polish it up would be good.
There's a good foundation here, I want to see more of it!
Its probably on me for forgetting but a handy marker for which arrow is which animal mid game would be super helpful
I wasn't even thinking about that, I've been play testing so much I had it burned into my brain lol. Thank you for pointing that out.
