This was a delight to play through and through!

This one was fun! An indicator once the turtle can't grow more would be good. Maybe a little "MAX" indicator.

I like this one a lot! Easy tower defense mixed with resource management. Simple but engaging!

I think there's a tiny lack of polish in terms of understanding what each tower does. Like first ones have a damage tooltip, but the others don't, so do you just spam magic as you get to them?

And I don't think lvl1 towers see any light as well, there's no reason to buy these.

If you plan to expand it: it might be a good idea to work on giving each tower a meaningful effect, like usuals in tower defense: Slow, AoE, Stun, DoT, or maybe add a worker placement for more management and increased difficulty.

Very fun! You can't go wrong with a tower defense and you nailed the theme. Only thing I would add is maybe a start round button to quicken things up after I had my awesome towers placed. Nice work! Also the left side of my turtle was getting absolutely destroyed because it was mostly lands, about to try again with a new strategy haha

Thank you! Yes, your suggestion is really useful, if I return to the game after the jam, I will definitely add it :)

If you go through the game again, you can try a peaceful passage without using military towers. I almost succeeded, maybe you can do it :)

Once I understood what was going on, a very nice little game loop. I like the little economy you built by having the three levels of resources.

"This is science" "But this is a turtle"

I tried to grow the turtle bigger than the screen but it didn't let me... :(

Good game!

Thanks! I forgot to hide the growth button, the maximum length of the turtle is the width of the screen. You've reached the maximum :)
