Thanks so much for playing, I'm glad you enjoyed it!
Artwise, I wanted to try something new for this jam! I'm glad you still liked it. I'll likely still be doing pixel art games, but part of the reason I keep jamming is to try new things and see what sticks, before (eventually) embarking on a larger project.
I agree that there are balance issues, and the game can definitely be completed just using basic towers. Though I will say that my favorite build only deploys 2 attackers, Tama & Paisley, as a tag team. It's OP hehe... admittedly it takes a little luck on the final level, but I've beaten the whole game with just them. I also agree that the card incorporation ended up being a bit on the light side.
Kudos to Facemelting Solos for the distorting soundtrack, he nailed the vibe I was going for! He made a huge OST for this one, I can't thank him enough!
Thanks again for playing, and all your feedback! I really appreciate it. :)
