The idea is cool. I would be careful with licensed assets though

This is a fine little tower defence game. Some music and sound effects would have been great for this game. But overall a good first game. Well done.

I really liked the idea of using bad video game characters to destroy good video game heroes. It reminded me of Boppin. Music was good too. The game could have used some sound effects. Also you could have included multiple unlockable levels. In my humble opinion the level variety and design is the most important aspect of a tower defence game. From what I saw the artwork was taken from other games so maybe you should consider opting out on Graphics (http://ludumdare.com/compo/rules/). I enjoyed the game overall. Thank you for making it!

It's a cool idea combining characters from many games. Maybe more sounds could be good. And the good stuff that you can do is add levels and more characters and it should be fun. Good job!

I like the mashup of Mario and Pac-Man

Cool idea. But the game is just a tower defense, nothing more. And I can not say that the graphism is cool, because all the texture you used are not made by you. The music is cool though.

Keep coding :)

Pretty simple well working Tower defense game. It's really easy though! Once you get a few DK's in the battlefield you'll hardly lose. Congratulatiaons on your first game! I won't demand much considering that but I have to say that besides the aesthethics this is hardly a genre match-up, not trying to put you down or anything.

Nice execution of a good idea. I found back the thrill of killing wave after wave of ennemies while expanding my own base, so you got yourself a good tower defense ! The difficulty was rather well balanced, which is something you do not often see in jam games, so props for that !

The graphics are serviceable, but as @Nehvis said, I would be wary of reusing that many licensed assets. The music is good tho, so all in all, your game is enjoyable to play, to watch and to hear. Nicely done !

It's charming but it has issues. The BGM doesn't play until you access options, so a lot of people don't even know it has one. Sometiems Sanic wus 2 fast. Cherry ghost does no damage. Chess rook tickles as well (even tickles the obnoxiously tanky queen piece). Kongs seem to be the only piece worth a damn, and their barrels sometimes can't catch Sanic, cuz he 2 fast. Once I figured out most of the pieces were useless, I found a nifty bulldoze button at the bottom. To my dismay it worked as well as the rook piece before. So I had to keep my horribly positioned goomba wall and work with what I got.

Last thing to add. It's not really following the theme, but don't be put off by it. Like someone already mentioned, it's a nice start.

This is how far I got


# Good
Really fun game. I think for your first game, that was actually quite big (I wouldnt have been able to do that on my first game at all)

#Improvements
Enemies should come after each other, to keep the player engaged with a new challenge. Give the player time to learn each enemy, so that when the new enemy comes he isnt overwhelmed. Also adds to the pacing of the game.

Well done!

Although agree on the selection of licensed assets, it was still great fun to play this weird mashup of various games. Some sound FX would have worked wonders here. Some differentiation between the towers other than the sprites would be cool as well to provide some strategic depth to the TD gameplay.

This is a cool entry. As a first jam too this is great. A solid game, not overly complex, formula works and it is clear :) Well done! Only suggestion is to make the 100 piece do a LOT more damage... for 100 I want POWER! ;)

Cool game, i played quit a while :D i just love tower defense games :)

@designernap @fanatrick @VeryEvilTomato It's been a while sinc u have played our game, but I have now made your hopes come true in the new updated version! The power has dmg now, the sounds works quite well sinc the main menu. Sonic is still really fast (he is now even faster) but that was the goal. I made him have a bit less HP... I think it is now even more balanced (@JLV) and I hope that all works as it should. :P

(it is also written up there in the links)

That's a fine little game man. I really enjoyed playing it. The idea is really cool and the gameplay is smooth. You should spend some time to polish it because it can become a really good game

I think there's a rule of game design that goes something like, "If a game has Pac Man in it, it can't be bad." :)
