Gain mana from killing farmers, use mana to mine gold and build temporary magic towers, build physical towers for gold.

Have fun from every thing in this game :)

How to play? Your task is to protect your laboratory house from a crowd of hungry farmers. You have 2 resources: mana and coins. Mana is used for spells: spawn a magic tower and mining coins from stones. Magic towers are unstable, and disappear after a while, so use REAL towers for good protection. You get mana from the blood of defeated enemies. Hold on, in a few minutes you will kill all the farmers!

They can't understand the art of research in a field that's beyond them... Unfortunately, they have a strike force that is beyond me haha.
Very good game, very funny, good atmosphere, maybe not very fair, but, is it so important?

I loved the game, the truth is that I laughed a lot! The graphics are very successful. The only thing I see is the recommendation in the description to play in full screen since there are many sprites on the screen. Despite that, great game!

That was a fun experience. Not much strategy beyond spamming both types of towers between your central tower and the direction the farmers are coming from. Regardless, it was really fun. The "lore" is also really funny.

good idea for a game. It's challenging though. Overall nice entry.

It was really hard to figure out what to do at first. I think it would've been really nice if the mines were automatically mining at the beginning

Seems neat, hard to understand what was happening! Some tutorial or explanation screen would helped. :)

Ow, ow ow ow... Ow. WUUUAH. Great on humor, but a mute button would've been nice to have. :sweat_smile: It seemed like there was a lot of inconsistent behavior around _where_ a tower could be placed, and without beefier options for towers, I genuinely could not make it past the 4th wave, even while spamming mining, gold towers, and mana towers. Also, the range of the towers was unclear, sometimes they'd have farmers right next to them, but wouldn't attack. I think the idea of two different resources and temporary towers is a great diversifier on the genre, but a lack of varied content and strategy really held it back. Nice and complete entry though, so well done there! :tada:

Huh, this game is really funny, она затянула меня(я просто забыл как это будет на англ), I like the gameplay so much, and sounds, the sounds are absolute. Good entry guys!

An innovative little TD game! The process of having to mine resources to build new towers instead of just getting gold from kills is something I've not seen in similar games. Loved the art and sound design too!

Pretty fun little game, I'm sure with some more time you could turn it into something great.

I noticed after getting my area built up that the towers can sort of "shove" each other by placing new towers down, causing them to slide off the grid. You may want to play with the tower's collision masking layers to fix that.
