Judge feedback

Judge feedback is anonymous.

  • GDD: I am not enjoying the fact that I had to read on multiple MD files. Would love to see all of them into one file as pdf. I would like to see images in the GDD. However glad to see development timeline is in GDD. Game: Would love to see an proper main menu. No pause menu? Game loop is okay? It feels weirdly slow even if it is turn-based.

I really like the turn based tower defense idea, I think this is very cool. Unfortunately I did get stuck on an enemies turn with no option to do anything. Love the graphics too :)

Edit: The image is where I got stuck, I assume it's hanging waiting for something to complete.

Heys thanks for playing and I appreciate the feedback. Ahh shame, I want to say I "fixed" that bug. The enemy turn should only ever take a max of 10 seconds but I guess it wasn't fool proof. Thanks for playing

great game it would be great to see like more levels and also im not sure if its meant to be but you can get negative energy

Thank you for the feedback. You can get negative energy but only gain back a certain amount the next turn. Usually you get 3 per turn but if you get to -1 you will instead get 2. It was a way to get around having to work out costing and blocking the player but I actually quite like this as a mechanic.
