This was really fun! I liked the animation of the walking phone's attacks :) it was fun to place the towers down and see them mow down all the evil (an)droids! Great job making a fun game!

Loved it. A little fun challenge: fully buy double turrets every round and see how many waves until the game freezes. My record is wave 23. Had a blast, thanks!

Thanks for playing! 

Yeah, it lasts a lot longer if you download it and not play the browser version, in testing I got up to wave 50 before it started slowing down 😁

I love that I live in a world where I can blast an army of phone mechs with 40 turrets- and I can play it in browser. Very impressed you managed this in the jam time! Very fun phone mecha design

Thanks for joining the jam! (next one's in july  https://itch.io/jam/pizza-jam-pizza-prize9)

Pretty repetitive and game play is a bit bland. The idea was pretty cool though, never thought I'd fight for a pizza kingdom using a pizza slicer.  There are definitely much that could be improved such as more gameplay content, enemy mechanics, and use of space (there's so much space in the village, why not make use of it?) so if you ever decide to take this further, I look forward to seeing how this game develops,

very good

Fairly fun though I wish there was a bit more content to play with perhaps using the height of buildings or more turret options. Its fantastic for the time frame!

Thanks for playing! Yes I could have expanded on it more, especially with the village - originally I planned on having multiple temples around the village but I decided to simplify in the end to focus on finishing the game!

Wave based defending game feels addicting but my browser crashed when many robots came.

Good characters for theme!

Developer

Thanks for playing - yeah I think the amount of enemies that spawn after wave 16/17 is too much for the browser to handle unfortunately 🍕

A pretty solid game, its simple but a fun tower defence, it lags on browser by wave 15 and onward

fun little game, I liked it. if you have time I'd recommend adding an option to upgrade your weapon or get a ranged weapon though. solid 8/10 for a jam project, but the game can't be about pizzaaaaaa

OK. I will mention first of all that YOU SHOULD NOT MAKE A GAME ABOUT PIZZA, because as mentioned in the GameJam's description, you will be disqualified if you make a game about pizza ("The theme is not pizza. If you make your game about pizza you will be disqualified.").

In the rest, related to the game, I noticed the following aspects...


The good parts:

1. The game looks incredible and is well made.

2. The controls and functionality of the game are good.

3. The theme is well implemented in the game (enemies are mobile phones).

4. The UI is very well made.

5. Existence of a tutorial in the game and in the main menu (where it tells you what the controls are.


The bad parts:

1. The game is about PIZZA.

2. The audio is good, but a bit repetitive (the song is good, but at some point you get tired of it).


But very good game, I really liked it.

Thank you for your feedback, much appreciated - I understand what you mean with the part about the pizza, but hopefully there is enough other elements and reliance on the theme to ensure the game is not solely about pizza 🍕
