Fun classic game. I normally try to post my score for these types of games but the MASSIVE wave of enemies made the final score unreadable haha.

Good game and thanks for the upload!!

awesome game, I was confused at first and kept spamming the cheapest tower, but once I got the hang of it it became more fun. I would recommend you put a little description with how to play or something, but all in all this game is quite fun

A fellow emscripten user :wink: Nice to see that not everyone is using a pre-made game engine! I don't know which NES games inspired the music but the music is great! Digging it! Well done!

Nice classic arcade game. Sound is too loud.

I'm not sure if it's just me, but it feels like the difficulty ramp is a little off. I was able to get by pretty comfortably, without really feeling like the game was challenging me. In fact, somewhere around the 500-point mark I was starting to get bored, and then the game suddenly just went mental and started spawning an endless torrent of enemies that are impossible to deal with because you can't build fast enough to do so. It might just be me, though. I don't have any suggestions for how that ramp could be smoothed out.

As for the game itself, the graphics and music have a pleasing old-school theme to them, and I like the freedom of being able to place towers anywhere you want instead of being restricted to a path. The fact that you even built the engine from scratch only makes this more impressive. Well done!

Pretty fun tower defense game. I like how the enemies could destroy the towers, so placement had to be considered carefully. It reminded me a lot of Plants vs Zombies in that way. It does start off a bit slow, but it gets pretty fun as things pickup. Also, the song is a banger. Overall, solid game. Nice work!

I was pretty sure I figured this game out and that I'll never lose. Then this wave came....






I'm a sucker for tower defense.

I tried random towers. When I realized that towers die when aliens touch them, I thought I'd make a wall with the cheap towers. But that turned out to be wrong, I needed more firepower.

I made a [sheet comparing DPS per cost of units](https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1MSVi8jfXR7vL3eK1gPRnOWmNDLUYOxdvMTD4kqV2F6E/edit?usp=sharing). That got me to the 560 score. Then I tried a purely long-range M29 strategy. That sucked, because of the low fire rate I only made it to 220. So I went for a purely XW2 strategy, as they have the highest DPS per dollar with the #2 range in the game, and the #2 highest fire rate. Making a line of those got me up to 650. And I don't think you can go much further than that with the current game.

It would have been great to have a 2x and 4x speed modifier. It got a bit boring to wait out sometimes. Still, I had lots of fun. Thank you for the game!

Tower defense in the time limit, you are the hero of this jam! good job

I like the retro aesthetic and the music. My best score was 554.

I don't know if there are strategies better than others but I think the game has potential.

Fun game! I like the music and sounds, though the game could have used a bit more polish and balance like screen shake or particles when enemies explode. Other than that, great game!

The ability to destroy towers would be nice :smile:

Went to 630 on attempt 1. It was fun experimenting with towers, but it's definitely not obvious what does what and the answer is apparently "XW2 spam is blatantly superior to everything". This game sets a good arcadey tone, but the sheer number of sound effects later on causes the audio to become a distorted hellscape. That last wave - you were not messing around with the "inevitable" part. I think any improvements on that are most likely gonna be marginal but who knows? Maybe someone will hit 700. GG

Nice one! i am not a fan of defense games but it got really good feel to it. And like the graphics and the music and the overall mood.

Pretty fun tower defense game
