I enjoyed this one :)
Some of the fish were a little overpowered, so with proper placement I found it to be quite easy, but it was still really satisfying. I liked the variety of fish that you could hire and also the cooldown powers. The different enemies types were cool too and made for some strategic placement. Great job!

Thank you for playing! Since I was the only playtester, I'm sure balance isn't ideal. This jam confirmed for me that balancing games are really hard. I felt that making game a little easier would be better for the jam, since it takes time to beat. And I think making game feels unfair is worse that easy. Glad you enjoyed it!
Yeahh, perfecting the balancing of a tower defense game with 30 waves (on top of building it too!) within a week is definitely a challenge.
I agree, as it's a jam people probably wouldn't take the time to persist if it was too challenging, meaning they'd miss out on experiencing everything else the game has to offer. Good call!
