Zeus Fever by ret44
Gods might have messed up when they took Zeus guarding Olympos for granted. Zeus gets a divine cold (not common) and no one is defending the mountain!
Gather mana and coins from match-3 and use them to build and power your shrines in tower defense. Don't let bouncy cyclops reach the end or Zeus will be really upset!

There might be some issues with WebGL version, like input lagging and sound glitches. We recommend downloading standalone build.

Not really sure what all my buildings were supposed to be doing? You should put up some instructions =)
I really really like the the music and sound effects 5/5.
Graphics 4/5 are great too.
My biggest problem was the theme, it just feels like two games independently rather than a combined one, 95% of the time playing I was looking at the match 3 section. 2/5.
Innovation 3/5 nothing really innovative here just standard tower defense and match 3 game.
Humor 4/5 just because of the intro.
Fun 3/5 tough one to judge, I love match 3 and tower defense, but it got hard very quickly by wave 4 the monsters over ran me and I was constantly short of bullets. The tower defense section needs balancing.
overall 3/5.
Superb atmosphere. Congratulations!

Thanks for making this game!
It is unexpectedly missing some conversions of the genres like the towers not prioritizing the creeper closest to the end of the path and the match 3 part not allowing input by clicking on one piece then another and instead forcing you to always drag. I suppose problems like this are the issue when needing to do twice as much for two types of games in a short timeframe.
the Greek theme is funny. the game overall is very well implemented and polished! nice entry!
(using chromium)

I died at wave 4 on second play ^^
It's kind of hard to see where the cursor is, maybe with another one, or the default it would be better.
My first attempt at playing it, I didn't realize the match 3 section was made to resupply the towers so I died pretty quickly haha.
Loved the intro, and the graphics are great!
