Yes, it's really cool that you can move them freely. But it would be great if the magicians had different attacks and their appearance differed not only in color. Also, as for me, there is a very lack of sounds. I think you just didn't have enough time.

There are already so many different units and even class bonuses, it is amazing. If you add music and sound effects and improve the art a bit I think this could easily release this game. People really enjoy the autobattler roguelity games combined with different genres -- Snkrx, Vampire Survivors all the pvp autobattlers... and I didn't see a tower defense game combined with an auto battler yet so I think it is a really promising idea :).\n\nI had a great time playing it.

However it takes a really long time to play! I was on my first try and got to wave 34 when I got an error message from the browser :( I had been playing for some hours. I liked that there were so many different wizards, however it was hard to differentiate between them sometimes. Nice that you could swap a wizard by picking it up and clicking another on the bench. I would like more levels, 7 was max, no? I would like to play again with another strategy but it was too time consuming! I didn't really understand the class bonuses and didn't use them since I could only have 9 wizards. Great job on this game!!!

Had a fun time making this game, although definitely could have used some more initial planning to sort out all my ideas. Ran out of time again to add any music, and barely completed this all within the 48 hours. Will probably consider doing a Jam entry next time :upside_down: \n\n_Game is probably still pretty unbalanced as I didn't have a ton of time to fully test everything, may end up releasing a balance patch when I get around to it_\n\n![wiz.png](\/\/\/raw\/dc2\/c2\/z\/4a39f.png)","title":"The Last Tower","wayback_recovered":true,"wayback_source":{"capture":{"original":"https:\/\/api-jam.ludumdare.com\/vx\/node2\/get\/292501+292502+292503+292504+292505+292506+292507+292508+292509+292510+292511+292512+292513+292514+292515+292516+292517+292518+292519+292520+292521+292522+292523+292524+292525+292526+292527+292528+292529+292530+292531+292532+292533+292534+292535+292536+292537+292538+292539+292540+292541+292542+292543+292544+292545+292546+292547+292548+292549+292550+292551+292552+292553+292554+292555+292556+292557+292558+292559+292560+292561+292562+292563+292564+292565+292566+292567+292568+292569+292570+292571+292572+292573+292574+292575+292576+292577+292578+292579+292580+292581+292582+292583+292584+292585+292586+292587+292588+292589+292590+292591+292592+292593+292594+292595+292596+292597+292598+292599+292600+292601+292602+292603+292604+292605+292606+292607+292608+292609+292610+292611+292612+292613+292614+292615+292616+292617+292618+292619+292620+292621+292622+292623+292624+292625+292626+292627+292628+292629+292630+292631+292632+292633+292634+292635+292636+292637+292638+292639+292640+292641+292642+292643+292644+292645+292646+292647+292648+292649+292650+292651+292652+292653+292654+292655+292656+292657+292658+292659+292660+292661+292662+292663+292664+292665+292666+292667+292668+292669+292670+292671+292672+292673+292674+292675+292676+292677+292678+292679+292680+292681+292682+292683+292684+292685+292686+292687+292688+292689+292690+292691+292692+292693+292694+292695+292696+292697+292698+292699+292700+292701+292702+292703+292704+292705+292706+292707+292708+292709+292710+292711+292712+292713+292714+292715+292716+292717+292718+292719+292720+292721+292722+292723+292724+292725+292726+292727+292728+292729+292730+292731+292732+292733+292734+292735+292736+292737+292738+292739+292740+292741+292742+292743+292744+292745+292746+292747+292748+292749+292750+292751+292752+292753+292754+292755+292756+292757+292758+292759+292760+292761+292762+292763+292764+292765+292766+292767+292768+292769+292770+292771+292772+292773+292774+292775+292776+292777+292778+292779+292780+292781+292782+292783+292784+292785+292786+292787+292788+292789+292790+292791+292792+292793+292794+292795+292796+292797+292798+292799+292800+292801+292802+292803+292804+292805+292806+292807+292808+292809+292810+292811+292812+292813+292814+292815+292816+292817+292818+292819+292820+292821+292822+292823+292824+292825+292826+292827+292828+292829+292830+292831+292832+292833+292834+292835+292836+292837+292838+292839+292840+292841+292842+292843+292844+292845+292846+292847+292848+292849+292850+292851+292852+292853+292854+292855+292856+292857+292858+292859+292860+292861+292862+292863+292864+292865+292866+292867+292868+292869+292870+292871+292872+292873+292874+292875+292876+292877+292878+292879+292880+292881+292882+292883+292884+292885+292886+292887+292888+292889+292890+292891+292892+292893+292894+292895+292896+292897+292898+292899+292900+292901+292902+292903+292904+292905+292906+292907+292908+292909+292910+292911+292912+292913+292914+292915+292916+292917+292918+292919+292920+292921+292922+292923+292924+292925+292926+292927+292928+292929+292930+292931+292932+292933+292934+292935+292936+292937+292938+292939+292940+292941+292942+292943+292944+292945+292946+292947+292948+292949+292950+292951+292952+292953+292954+292955+292956+292957+292958+292959+292960+292961+292962+292963+292964+292965+292966+292967+292968+292969+292970+292971+292972+292973+292974+292975+292976+292977+292978+292979+292980+292981+292982+292983+292984+292985+292986+292987+292988+292989+292990+292991+292992+292993+292994+292995+292996+292997+292998+292999+293000?authors&parents&superparent"},"object":"objects\/sha256\/e8\/e8c1a194e8c172a7a697b2613ff3822fceb1a7c8a258d8e79b4eb64c02b26317","record":"shard-3\/json-live-urgent-v3\/records\/b5a6a4fb475f09d3bfa7528f59d6508139d5f4fddc36f300dc7cbe0daee7b123.json","sha256":"e8c1a194e8c172a7a697b2613ff3822fceb1a7c8a258d8e79b4eb64c02b26317","source":"https","stored_at":1784022399}}
