Fun tower defense game! The theme felt a bit underutilized but awesome job getting something out!
Interesting take on tower defense. Feels like I was a little arbitrarily restricted in movement, wasnt obvious to me why i could only ride in the areas i could. Also, there was no way to visualise towers' range, making strategy hard. The towers didn't seem to have great target priority, and it looked like they picked what was closest to them, rather than what was furthest in line like most tower defenses. This wouldn't be too much of a problem on its own, but combined with the tiny monkeys which easily sped past the towers made it a bit too difficult. The bullets themselves missed fairly frequently, which doesnt feel great when the towers are the only line of defense - I would get me not being competent and leaving spots unprotected, but the towers should be able to hit enemies without fail. The art was great, but didn't mesh well with the background and having 0 UI art, even just reusing the tower sprites made it feel pretty bland. Finally, only half of the buttons in the menu worked. I still had a good time playing though, and think this could be amazing with a bit more time and polish put into it.
Interesting game, 2nd tower defense I've seen. Both games have had an issue properly incorporating the theme both jump putting the player on a bike with no further thought. I think a lot of menu buttons can be taken out since they don't do anything, and N didn't fullscreen for me I had to use the built in one (Which cut off some of the game). Would have liked the in game menu to have more customization done to it. As for art it looks strange... I can't describe it. Sound is fine I suppose. I think a no hit run would be impossible for this game, I couldn't even beat wave 3. Would have liked to see more towers (Unless they show up later). Overall this game just needs some more work and I think it can be a good game, but not really fit for the jam's theme
Forgot to mention I also had trouble placing towers where I wanted, a lot of times they would play right where the button is :/
Thank you for trying our game and providing your feed back, we greatly appreciate it.
It's a cute tower defense game with a lot of great art, but it feels as though there isn't much strategy involved, and the Bicycle part seems ham fisted in.
Yes we had ran into issues with certain things on the get go. We originally had planned to get Random Map Generation in, and I was pushing for it as it would have been a very unique thing to accomplish and as such it was scrapped later than it should have been and thus lead to us rushing to get things done.
i like tower defence :3 it felt like there is no way to defeat the last level tho :(
Right now it is really dependent on the RNG, Everything is randomized which was the original purpose of the game to create a fresh feel for each play through. Sadly some mechanics did not make it in. We also learned a lot of tower defense are spent with a lot of balancing.
I love the character art!
Thank you, Aiko did an amazing job with getting the monkey art done in such a short time frame.
I like the tower defense idea, but I had some problems with the game:
Still, a pretty good game for only 3 days of work!! Congrats on having made such a complicated game in such a short time!! That's amazing
Yes! A lot if not all of your concerns have been found and documented when we launched the game. We plan to address all of these if we decide to move forward.
Well....that was easy 😅
Don't know what I did, but I won!! That's all that matters 😎👍🏽
Looks like you went with a tower defense game as well! I love the tower art!
Really like the idea of a tower defence/city builder! Props on getting multiple levels done. I love the variety in the monkees.
I really like the original mechanic of running over enemies to damage them, but its hard to tell if its working because there's no indicator. I also felt a little boxed in by the invisible walls, but overall strong design.
Thanks for playing and your review :D Glad you liked the design, and thanks for bringing up the mechanic of running over enemies. We put a note to add an indicator for an update!
Thank you for the submission!
Summary: There was obviously going to be a Tower Defence to be stumbled across eventually! Not bad at all! Liked the unfixed camera idea, allowing to explore around even though it is only a small map. The game ended just as I was getting back into the Tower Defence endorphin stage too, but that's to be expected. Nice game! And, to be honest, Mouse Tower supremacy. Bubi can go home, 5 towers over 1 any day hehe
Thank you for your nice review, glad you enjoyed ^^! I agree, Mouse Tower is a powerhouse in beating this game! We hope to integrate more towers so we can make the game longer.
The gameplay after the first stage is a little tough but it's solid and fun. The music is great and the atmosphere is awesome. Unfortunately if you lose you have to play from stage 1 again but that doesn't change the fact that you did a great job! The game is good, good luck!
Thanks for playing the game!
Nice little tower defense entry :). The second stage starts off a bit difficult due to the surge of big bois right off the bat XD.
Also kept placing towers under the menu when trying to click the tower button (rip), just small things :).
Nice work!
Thanks for playing and leaving a comment :D Yeah, those monkeys are tough and hungry. We hope to fix the UI in an update soon, thanks for letting us know!
Really cute game!
Couldn't really click on the how to play button and rest of the settings. Lots of UI being cut off, so I lost lots of times. The art is cute and really well done! Just a little sad that it didn't really match with the pixel art in the background. The music was fun to hear as well.
Be proud of what you were able to accomplish in 3 days! Well done!
Thank you for your review, I'm glad you liked the art I made and our sound designer's work :D We hope to fix the UI in an update.
Great attempt at a TD game! Love the art as well, from the different kind of monkeys and the towers.
Thank you so much ^^ And I'm glad you liked my monkey and tower art!
Works best in fullscreen. Cute sprite-work and a relaxed atmosphere
Thank you for playing and your nice review :)
Is something wrong with the screen-size or at start enemies fall to the tower outside of my view? Took a bit to see my first monkeeh~ cute one too hihi, thought the smaller ones are the cutest!
Were you playing on full screen
Yup
Its dependant on a 1920 x 1080 Aspect Ratio if its lower then that you will not be able to see UI elements. If we can I will try and get it fixed to allow for other aspect ratios
Aah gotcha, all essentials seem to work, just the menu and UI is a bit confusing due to it, but otherwise it all works!
Thats great to hear... I already compiled a list of fixes that I see now. I dont know if we will be able to update builds in the next 24 hours but if we can my team and I plan to be awake in the Morning EST to implement changes.
