All good and thank you for hosting the Jam!!!! I had lots of fun and liked the formatting :D
Great Job running your first Jam :))
Thanks for playing, we're planning on continuing to work on this game in the future so a speed up mechanic could be a neat idea! cause ur totally right that this version does take a little time to play haha. We tried to fit the theme by 'your character' being the energy that powers up each turret! That's what the glowing blue effect is on each tower when you control it.
Thank you for saying what was good along with what could be improved :))
The goal for the music was to try and reprise the intro trying to reinforce that the game had a bit of a theme song, but I can see how that didnt quite hit the mark.
On the tiger tho, we know he was a goofy lad hahaha. His programming is pretty interesting! and by the time I had finished the first run at the sprite there wasnt really time to re do it, so if we made the game again we would probably edit that sequence quite a bit, make the tiger look more menacing than goofy but also work in some actual cut scenes with different camera angles and stuff, and the idea of having the eyes just show up was on our if we get time for it list of cutscene ideas as well, so we doubly agree thats a good idea :D
