It bugged out on the second level and I couldn't place towers anymore :(

It's a tower defense game. Those are still basically fun. I appreciate the humor(?). It could use something crazy. Liek a dog. Or peanuts.

Pretty interesting tower defense game. I don't know why, but I couldn't get the blue diamond thing to slow down enemies, though.

Fun art. Liked lasers. On the downside it's quite buggy.

Not a bad tower defense game. Placing towers can be glitchy at best. On the second level after several waves, there are these gold crowed toaster pastry looking guys that I couldn't even kill one of. It was fun until I got completely owned by the crown guys, humorous too.

The concept is actually quite good. But the game get pretty quickly very boring. Maybe something to increase the game duration is needed ?

To build the frost tower pick the Item and place them in the tower active tower slots left from the Trash Can

so the items in the pandashop became part of your active item Slots ( upgrade wont become a tower // just goes away + passiv bonus to all tower will be applied)

Ran into an apparent bug after the first wave of the second level several times. No more waves would ever come, forcing me to restart the game.

Yeah i know _:_
the game already had some know bugs when i posted it,
just not enough time to fix them and then in addition to those bugs i didnt know.
But i wont fix them cause this is exactly what i made in 48 hours

Nice tower defence game and I appreciate the humor.

The game need some polish though:
- The game pace is a bit slow (and I would love a fast-foward button).
- The UI need to be improved (trashCan button?) and seems bugged: I can't place any tower after playing some levels.
- no audio

Pretty funny game. The interface at the bottom was a little difficult to understand (only the top two options are active).

I liked the silliness of the game, but I had issues with the interface when trying to place towers. I managed to place a few laser towers, but after the first level I could no longer place anything. With some more work it could be quite a charming tower defense game. Could do with some audio too.
