cracking good little tower defense game! feels like it's the perfect length - you feel that little tinge of 'ah, i wish there were a little more', which is always where one should ultimately know to stop. looks and feels great, nice variety of things to do. i really think tower defense is a lot more about 'feel' than it is about perfectly taut and excruciatingly balanced mechanics, and i 'felt' like i had a blast :D (ng+ was very fun!)
i'm often more than a little put off by the excess Whimsical Banter and irony plaguing playdate games, but i really enjoyed the writing, as well. it's modest, punchy, and has a good grasp of its tiny cast. the narrative comes across as playful without feeling like you're constantly elbowing the player and i wound up rather endeared toward the characters.
i hope you're still developing for this thing! i would love to see another game of this scale on the playdate from you.
