Puzzle Tower by NilC
Hi! This is a Pipes-Type Puzzle + Tower Defense.

There is no good tutorial, so here a little manual:
What you need to do is to connect the energy ray to all the towers.
Click on the switchers to rotate them. It will change the path of the ray. There is a little gif:

Unfortunately, there are only two levels - we actually found the final mechanics about 4 hours before the jam end :)

Maybe this prototype could be our next game :) Still thinking about that.
Congrats on the entry :D
I loved how you mixed the two gameplay mechanics together, it really felt like they belong together and was a great experience to play!
I got the mechanics pretty fast when I started clicking on the pipes, although your mini tutorial in the game description helped too :smiley:
One thing I would add to the game would be obviously more levels :yum: But maybe some kind of level / star system which would give you stars depending on level completion.. E.g Base Full Health = 3 stars, Base More Than Half = 2 Stars, Base Less Than Half = 1 Star
I could really see this as a fun web game on kongregate/newgrounds etc.
Keep up the good work and development! :smile:
