Always a fan of tower defense, even if the concept is flipped around a little :)

Turns out that playing a tower defense from the perspective of the towers is way more fun than you would expect it to be, The little intersections of death the ai would eventually create for me felt like Christmas.

AI Love YouInteresting take on tower defence, with the AI choosing the space and the player shooting - the opposite of most! Well done :D

Luna Loves LasersActually didn't notice I played this for so long : )
Yeah, this is a fun game, well done!
The only critic is that maybe make it so you can hold the mouse button instead of clicking.
And make the upgrade buttons in a separate place where you don't click on them by mistake.
Other than that, awesome stuff!

Rob MalfunctionSuch amazing visuals and atmosphere, I love that you went for a chess board. I wish you could lock towers in place like in Bloons. Overall it was fun though!

IntrusiveAIImpressive! Need some QoL improvements, but for a jam game it's good. It was always quite exciting to see where my "AI" companion would place the next piece.

Zookeeper ZachNice concept, although I seem to not be able to upgrade any of the units, and removing them costs me money? Also an indication of the enemies health been a nice addition!

ChargeTheAII'm a bit of a sucker for board-game aesthetics, so that's what drew me in. However the sound effects were rough, and the music was like alarm clock anxiety. Gameplay loop is good.

Garage BuddiesI really really love the game idea on this one. Expanded into well polished commercial game, I would absolutely buy this.
That said theres a lot to improve on the interface side of the game. Sometimes pawns being placed too close to each other and hard to read how much upgrades cost, or even accidentially selling pawns if the buttons were overlapping. And besides that, theres quite a bit of lack of polish that could make this stand out alot.
Other than that, I love the concept so much! ^^
Easy 4/5 for me

Robot PusherNice game, I really liked the gameplay (although yes, hold to fire would be much nicer). I think AI could be incorporated a bit more into the game instead of it being a random tower placed. My idea was that perhaps you could make a tower controlled by the ai for a short time, so it does more damage maybe and fires on its own. But overall, very simple and fun game.
I'd appreciate it if you tried my game if you have time: https://itch.io/jam/wowie-jam-4/rate/1663155
