Kinda confusing that you cant see the prices of each unit. I kinda like the game but the UI makes it hard to tell whats going on. The idea is good though!

Be sure to put your patch notes in the description. Most people will want to play the original, unpatched version because it's more fair that way (it's the actual jam entry).
Nice tower defence setup, keep going. Consider ways you could give the player something to do once a round starts (I think I couldn't do anything until the round was over.)

Quick reminder to get more players: Use a thumbnail for your game. Otherwise your game is presented with this grey box. Some great Games are not played because of a missing thumbnail ... You can still change it by editing your submission page :)

Great use of the concept!
I think it would be nice if you could see the price of the units and how much life you have.
The graphics reminded of old computer games, very stylish :D

Hey, nice job on oompleting a game. I got to the 3rd level !
Here are some things I feel could have been done better:
- Let player click on constructibles to select them, it took me some time to figure out I needed to use number keys
- Give an explanation on what the different constructibles do and what the stats are.
- Give a bit more health to turrets so the player can enjoy building his defenses. My turrets always got killed the turn they were put down.
- I didn't really enjoy the gold penalty for taking my time - it made me feel like the optimal strategy was to dump my money as fast as possible
- Make all numbers and text very big ! some of use have really poor eyesight :)

Neat TD game :). I like the blocking part and the graphics. I didn't get any sound even though the category is up for rating? I think it would make a lot of sense to be way more progressive on the levels since it got a bit too easy when you are getting it under control.

Keep up the good work :)!![game_upload.PNG](///raw/a50/d2/z/327ee.png)

Solid TD! Would have liked it running just a wee bit faster.

Great game! TD's are always fun to play. As said above ^ I agree that running should be a tad faster. :smiley:

The game play was a little slow. The difficulty was very unbalanced, or am I just bad lul. Ok graphics and the audio would be nice.

Nice entry. As others have said, the UI could be a bit more intuitive, but I figured out what each of the units did after a few tries and had fun experimenting with different strategies.

It's a bit punishing that your towers get destroyed so easily; if you have a bad round, you don't only take damage to your base, you've also lost all your units. That being said, you provide some tools to help save your units by putting little shields in front of them or slowing down the enemies. My best was level 6.

Well done for a Compo, especially since it looks like it's your first LD!

Congrats on your first entry! It's a nice implementation of a tower defense.

The visuals are good and do the job, I would only hope to see some background :)

Is there a reason why you didn't opt-out from the audio category? I double-checked but couldn't hear any music or sound? Am I missing something?

Nice entry!
