That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Barn by Lila Pause

[raw]
made by Lila Pause for Ludum Dare 52 (JAM)

Classic TowerDefense with procedural map generation in a farm environment!

After an unfortunate circumstance involving a truck, you've left the mortal coil and got reincarnated as a barn. For some reason, the local wildlife despises your unnatural existence and relentlessly tries to destroy you. Lucky for you, you got reborn with mind control powers, so now you're using them to puppeteer a farmer to protect you.

Your farmer is equipped with a scythe, a watering can, some seeds and towers. You can build towers, but at the cost of some seeds. You can put seeds around towers and harvest them with the scythe to build even more towers. Furthermore the seeds can grow and buff the tower near them. But if the tower falls, all your plants will go down with it. Will you have the skill, to defend your farm from wild enemies and beat your personal highscore?

All assets were created by us during the jam.

Great Graphics and great Audio. It took me some time to understand how to plant stuff but once I got that I could proceed to be attacked by rabbits well nourished

Great work, beautiful art. The enemies go 0-100 a bit too fast and there's not enough time to build a base, and the barn is very exposed. It's also not visually clear enough whether the plant is ready. The highest score I could get was 220.

Interesting idea, although the ramp-up curve could have been tuned to make the difficulty scaling a bit more forgiving to the beginning of the game, especially since the "gameboard" is less constricted and less clear than normal tower defense game!
Congrats :)

Nice graphics. The music is nice, but I don't think it fits the theme.
I must admit that I did not understand the game. I did not find the keys to plant, kill animals, build, grow, harvest anything. I am very confused.
The animals are far too fast.

Cool and interesting game. It's very easy to understand. However, the game is a little bit too difficult. There are too many enemies at the same time.

I liked the concept and art!
The pace of the game is too harsh at the beginning, each attempt at the game ended the same way: me dying after 20 seconds. Having enough time to check your surroundings and understand the mechanics would be great!
Other than that, the game seems great! Good job :)

Brutal difficulty curve ^^ but that just made want to beat it even more :laughing:
Feels a bit like cheating tho because my map spawn created a 1 tile chokepoint

hey, congrats on completing the game. The game looks cool. Sometimes the button gets stuck ( not sure the events are getting stuck), have to refresh the whole page as restart doesn't works at times. Game difficulty is good ( maybe some way to give option for multiple difficulty level?). also enemies come from random position so yeah challenging for sure :)

A first I have seen that ya can play on the LD page itself O.o

It would be nice to have a flashing light, or healthbar over the enemy that appears and decreases. Something to indicate damage, cause the sfx does not tell if one is actually inflicting damage.

A bit tricy to figure out the controls in the beginning so instructions would be nice to have.

But the game itself is nice and a solid entry 👌
