My only negative was the sound effects. I turned the sound way down because I thought the sound effects were pretty annoying and didn't add much to the game.
Oh also the UI was crazy polished. Great job guys!


Great job!

The game was engaging and despite the genre is not new it is always fun to unveil all the possibilities.
Nice vest with the graphic and good match with the audio.
Thanks for your submission :smile:
Is there a trick I'm missing?

Overall really liked my time with this game. Good job y'all!
Thank you for your feedback! We do not plan downloadable Linux version currently.
> @sipfindel Do the zombie really say “auvajs”?
Yes, they do! :)
> @reivilibre In the past few days, it seems like the game’s been nerfed and it’s now exceedingly hard to get past wave ~7, before I could get to level 40. (I noticed the price of poppies has increased by 40 seeds as well.) Is there a trick I’m missing?
We did some balancing changes (mentioned in the "Changes after submission" section) so the game is more approachable on start (no crazy first wave) and difficulty is increasing faster. It is still possible to get to higher waves though - current top is Wave 80 ;) Tip: It is all about making the route longer and plants fire effective. In higher waves heavy usage of Mushrooms to slow down fast enemies is a necessity. I hope this helps a little 💪
Love td games where you can build your own “maze” 5/5
