Simple but fun platform tower defence game, which is a mix of genre I havent actually seen much before.
Cool art that reminded me of Sword & Sorcery.
Couldnt figure out what the last trap was doing ?
If I were to make suggestions, I'd say:
- The balancing of items is quite average. Spikes (and maybe Ice floors to earn more time to shoot) are the only items worth making.
- The sprites for traps are a quite small, a colored aura or an icon below them would make it more comfortable for the player to distinguish the traps and their types in a glance.
- Be proud of your pixel art :D
I was that close not to be a Villain :D
But I think there is bad balance. First trap is very useful, and fifth trap useless at the time.
Nearly killed myself with spikes at first (somehow). Some sound effects might have juiced this up nicely (obviously).
Though I had fun smashing the NES and SEGA characters :)
