You are Pablo 'El Burrito' Sanchez, a recently retired luchador.

The announcement of his retirement, a mere two weeks ago, infuriated the federation of luchadores.

"Nobody quits just like that esé!"

And so the siege of Pablo's humble tacohome begins...

It also has an online leaderboard!

Nice graphics and gameplay. Seems unbalanced though

I loved it! The graphics are top 5 from what I've played so far. Jumping felt a little clunky but doesn't change anything about how great it actually was. Quick side note: Game took a while to load however, not sure if it's only on my end. Maybe upload to itch?

I’d love for you to review my submission as well.

I love it, although there is no background music during the game, the sfx are really good. Also +1 for the highscores and me taking the first place :dog:

Great works with the art! The menus are gorgeous. The gameplay itself is kind of repetitive and there's not a whole lot of depth to it, and the sound effects get pretty annoying very fast, but I'm impressed you managed to cram leaderboards, multiple pretty menus, a minimap and all that other stuff in.

Some more buildings and enemy types would probably be all this needs to become actually fun to play too!

The highlight here is clearly the visuals. I absolutely adore the masterfully hand drawn background art, and all of the characters look great too. It would have been nice if there was some background music, but the visuals more than make up for it. Still, I'm not sure why the menu music doesn't play during the actual game. That aside, the gameplay was your basic dower defense fare, but it was all very well implemented and worked as it should. Overall, this is a solid entry with standout artwork. Great job!

Love the art for it! Nice neat game, my high score was 2845. WOuld've been nice to make different turrets but for a game jam it was great. Keep up the good work.

Great game, great aesthetics. Got 3250 as my final score. I wanted more towers but I love the simplicity of it.
Hard to jump around platforms but was fast to get used to. A boss would be fun as well.

It is a very polished game. Platforming and Tower Defense is good when this game focus on tower placement and traversing. Good mix of mechanics!

Thanks for playing and giving feedback everyone!
@Magnega We had recorded some more sounds to use as effects, but ran out of time before we could implement them all sadly. That would have helped with the repetitive sounds.

We had some more enemies and towers/traps planned as well, but we decided to initially go for the minimal amount of features to make it work like we wanted to, and build from there if we had extra time.

very nice mix. That was very fun.
The art direction is amazing

Great gameplay idea! The graphics and the music are really nice. The mixing of both tower-defense and platforming is surprising at first, but it really helps to develop a new approach to the tower defense genre, nice work on that really polished entry!

Love the graphics and the visual aesthetic. The platforming is solid and controls are really simple. Really liked the minimap, it was very helpful in preparing for waves. Didn't really find much incentive travelling up the world though. Also for some reason, the audio wasn't playing at all for me.

@gamepopper Good point! We struggled a bit with an incentive to actually use the level as you would in a platformer. We added a resource-spawning vegetable-garden so players would need to go up there in order to get all the veggies they needed to build towers, but the balance between that and enemy drops isn't quite right to make it actually work properly I think.

First game of ld 41 i played and I have to say it will be hard to beat. Nice graphics and sound. Platforming element is hard to get used to but after a while it feels right. And the best part:![audioLevel.png](///raw/9c8/z/13adc.png) Guacamole/10 would LuchaLibre again.

This game is brilliant. I found myself replaying it multiple times just to get on the highscores. Managed to get up to 6th place which I'm happy with. Great use of the theme and amazing visual design, very flavoursome :wink: Amazing job! :smile:

Those dastardly LuchaDorks. They had me on the run until I realized they couldn't hurt me. Gorgeous graphics and animations. Really slick gameplay. Thanks so much for the game! Also- loved Chill Bill! Keep 'em coming!

spicy game. addictive too, and oh so stylish. Could definately see myself loosing a few hours to this if it was padded out with some more turrets n levels n stuff. Got into top 5 too :D

Oh man! We did a Tower Defense Platformer too, but your is so much polished and fun to play! I like that you have a garden for resources, art is great and game is really fun!

Love the art, and the colors just POP! A lot of polish too and I like how you went with the burrito theme. I wish the controls were a tiny bit tighter on the platformer side (quickly tapping a button makes me move further than I'd expect), but other than that I had a lot of fun! Managed to make it to the end with just 10% health left. I hope you add more content to your game later, I would play it again.

Really solid as ever. I enjoyed the challenge of it. Plenty of room to develop it further and totally worth doing. Solid entry. When I had lots of towers on screen at once the sound started glitching but I expect that's an easy fix.

Thanks everyone!
@obachuka totally valid point, the controls could be a bit tighter.
We might release a post-ludum-dare version with more content, plenty of room left to grow as @arron-fowler mentioned.

That was dope. Super fun game! Graphics were in point and the gameplay was solid. Played it like 3 times trying to bet the highscore (spoiler: I didn't!). Great job!

This game is one of the best ones! I loved this funky music and these so much! I loved also these cute graphics! It was so funny and cool concept! I liked how their lives were increasing as much as the waves get bigger. Had so fun playing it, FANTASTIC game!

Look, Ma! I made it to the leaderboard! (as of now I reached 6th place xD)

Nice little game here. I think you had a very good grasp of what makes a TD fun and it would be nice if I had a bit more of the strategic part, not only the action - a different tower, for example, would be super cool already.

I also loved the art style, the incredible choice of bright colors make the game!

Great job!
