First game that I actually played all the way through, and not just because you can't close the game without using task manager :). It was a little off theme, and started out slow, but I love a good tower defense!

Good concept. It was a little too easy, but I had fun spamming units.

Love me some tower defense. The money regen was a bit slow because I was dumb and spammed all the wrong units that instantly died, but I see the potential :D

Really interesting idea to be the "bad guys" in a tower defense game. Well fitting art and atmosphere!

Since you're using Unity, have you tried looking into WebGL builds? I think your game could work well in a browser too!

Nice juice. Love to see a tutorial in a jam game. I think if a Shooter Tower hits a bunch of units on the same pixel they do splash? I spammed a bunch of marksmen and they seemed to die instantly, idk. Not sure how the right button control was meant to work, maybe should have been in the tutorial. Fun game.

An interesting game, but a bit of a drawn-out gameplay, many people do not like to read very much

A good game, but a long tutorial. Also, the gameplay is quite simple, I think the game should give a challenge, there is a lack of a stricter economy. In general, a good job.

I like strategy games so this is right up my alley, pretty good game! I tried out some unit combinations but found that the long range guy didn't really get countered so you can just spam it and win.

The tutorial was really good, it was comprehensive and had some good interaction to explain the game.

I really like the gameplay, the layout, the art style. Everything is very straight forward and intuitive. Pretty fun little jam. Wish there was some sci-fi battle music to go with all the action, but hey, it's a functional and enjoyable experience. Cheers. :)

Really good game, hard to find anything to criticize. Maybe the UI for buying units could be at the top because it blocks the towers on the first stage.

Nice game, interesting mechanic. Annoying to wait for troops to go all that distance but cool concept. Enjoyed :)

Cool Game. Liked that it had a tutorial and the mechanics are quite nice. It felt a bit off with the slow movement fast shooting on the towers. And it felt a bit buggy / unpolished at times. But the Art and effects were neat. Cool Entry!

Really fun game! Great mix of strategic thinking and idle enjoyment. Loved the little characters, and crunchy sfx.

Really fun game! Love the art style. Few suggestions from my side: movements of units could be faster to make the game more dynamic (of course then towers need to be stronger to compensate), maybe some terrain obstructions, like cliffs or water? it would add a lot of variety to the maps, and maybe levels with limited money where player needs to "solve the map" 9by using correct combinations of units), like a puzzle game? Anyway, great job with the game!

It's like a smaller version of helldivers. I'd like to say For Democracy)

A very good good game, I think the possibility to control time speed might be a good feature to had

Look nice !
I have issues with the HUD but by may be due to my 4K resolution.
Also i could not invoke other unit than the first without invoke a firts unit a the same time. Weird !

Great job with this strategy game. It's a neat idea. I liked seeing my soldiers attack and you don't have direct control over them.

@lelek-hunor-kadosaVery good game, the graphics are very nice and the gameplay is a very good combination. Very detailed and seamless amazing I admire your work

Great work!! Loved the tutorial and the way the game was designed. I liked how each unit had their own capabilities, health, and speed. That was a nice touch.

I liked the puzzly approach, and it felt like there were reasons to experiment with combinations of different guys! I also loved it visually, it looked super cool. The tutorial was also very welcome! Great job!

Interface not quite work on higher resolutions. Here how it looked for me:

![interface.png](///raw/3c4/75/z/643de.png)

Concept is good. Could benefit from some balancing, since its easy to just get 1 tank and couple of rangers and wait, but its really nice little game - I enjoyed the sounds and how it looks even with UI scale issue!

Fun, but it needs some pressure on the player. Right now it doesn't matter if all troops die, I can just wait a little and summon more and stronger ones. Maybe if the summon area was shrinking, or if the enemy could repair their towers, there would be some pressure to perform well. Entertaining game tho, thank you!

You just need a good tower defense game to have me beat. Good job!

I'm sad that there is no web export :/ I can't play it, I'm on macOS. it seems to be a well polished game in terme of mechanics

It's satisfying to watch but doesn't demand much strategy, you can place down most anything you want and win pretty easily. Still, it looks good and functions well, and also the tutorial was really well implemented

I loved the way the theme was approached, and the idea of turning tower defense on its head is very cool. Perhaps it lacks a little challenge. Want more levels!
