As t-c said, a bit hard to get how to place towers, would be nice with some kind of higlighted square around the area you are hovering that tells you if you can place it or not.\nBut it was nice to control the player having to build the tower, making for a bit different tower defence experience.\nNice graphics as well and very nice looking itch page!\n\nNice work!","format":"md","likes":1,"spam":"N"},{"id":813978,"author_name":"ycb21","author_uid":"ycb21","epoch":1649393822,"text":"Fantastic work!

I think the game was held back by a lack of cohesive-ness in the systems and graphics, and the fact that you had to put all the information up on the page instead of making it accessible in the game. The main aspects of the core game loop were nice, but the systems that held them together frustrated me a bit. The lack of feedback and indicators while placing turrets, the font not fitting in with the rest of the graphics, and the core loop of having to gather materials manually just didn't excite me as much as I hoped it would. I am impressed with what you got done in the time allotted, though!","format":"md","likes":1,"spam":"N"},{"id":814025,"author_name":"LeYamez","author_uid":"leyamez","epoch":1649395721,"text":"@t-c Glad you liked it! We wanted to innovate on the tower defense a bit, rather than just sitting idle and waiting for the game to play out. We had a lot of issues working with getting the turrets placed down, so we weren't able to get it to a place we were happy with it. Thanks for your feedback though :smile: \n\n@onyoukai Glad you enjoyed!\n\n@okamit Thanks for your feedback! We know we didn't hit the mark with placing the turrets down, and I really like your suggestion with a little glowing square. Glad you enjoyed the variety in gameplay from the usual waiting for waves to end! That's something we wanted to nail with this game, and glad to see it landed! Thanks for playing :v: \n\n@ycb21 Glad you enjoyed the art style! It took me a long time to get it down since working in Isometric was really something new for me. Thanks for playing :smiley: \n\n@orionhart Sorry the game didn't meet your expectations, we had a lot of trouble working with the Isometric style so the game had a severe lack of polish. We spent most of our time working on rendering the tiles correctly and working on some of the base systems, so there was definitely a lot of room for improvement. Thanks for your feedback though, definitely some good learning points on this one..

I liked the idea of collecting the resources you needed to build the towers. The only issue for me was the controls didn't seem super intuitive.

It took me a while to fully grasp it, but then it was immense fun! (and before that it wasn't super frustrating or anything :))\n\nHave to say, I was clicking at a tree (or rock) and then waited because I thought that's the time it needs to mine the resource, I didn't understand those are cooldowns and you're supposed to run around and click like crazy collecting wood and rocks (which was fun ^^) I would recommend you add that line to your description, really like \"you're supposed to run around all the time and click on resources to gather them, they are immediately gathered, the countdown is a cooldown before you can harvest from that resource again\" or something like that :)\n\nThe minimalistic graphics are very pleasing to the eye (cube with eyes was supercute and the colours are pleasant) plus the soft music was adoreable too and fit to the rest. Enemy cubes looking grim would have been funny too :D :D\n\nLastly, these are all sprites I'm gonna assume? I'd recommend you do a web build also, so more people will play (people are lazy haha.) We unfortunately don't have a webbuild because if you don't lightbake it's gonna look horrible because indirect realtime light isn't supported in WebGL 2.0, bur for 2D it's fair game :)\n\nAlso, having the current Score shown ingame would have been cool, but I know how gamejams are :)\n\nA very nice entry, you can be proud of yourselfes.

Wish the player was WASD controlled not right click\n4. Music was nice, but I'm sure you can do better! Feel free to @ me with some of your better work :)\n5. The most impressive thing is you have a team of **5**. That's amazing and you all should be putting your time into a real game, because those kinds of teams are rare.
