The art style is very cohesive. This game has so much potential its crazy. More tower variety, and more enemy variety would push this game so far. The camera movement towards the player makes him appear jittery. Overall really cool and you should continue developing this further!

Really fun. Only complaint I have is that the menu seems a bit buggy. Text appears over other text when it's not supposed to I think. But the tower-defense gameplay is solid!

This was quite fun to play! Level 1 didn't seem to work though. Jumped to level 2 and it worked great and had fun playing it!

Level 2 got me. My strategy for these types of games is to build at the thing you are defending and work your way out since everything tends to funnel in towards that point and you clearly saw right through that. Kudos.

I agree that some badguy and tower variety would make this even more fun!

love this! I enjoyed the maze making it harder to just spawn towers. Awesome job!

The idea is interesting and it also fun to play, but the concept has some downsides. For example, you should remember the map and build towers on the right paths or it is hard to understand where the enemies are heading as you don't see them. The mini map helps, but it is not enough. in any way, it was really fun.

Art is fantastic and all fits together very nicely

I liked the entry, but it does lack a bit of variety on the towers. Though it does make up for it a bit by being a bit more puzzle like through the fixed tower slots.

This is a really cool take on tower defense! I especially like the maze aspect; it adds an interesting layer of strategy. Keep up the great work!

A different take on the tower defense genre. I enjoyed the twist. With some more balancing and extra tower types this would become a solid game ^^

I feel like some tower variety and an easier way to move around would have been great, but otherwise it's a great game.

Really appreciated the sound design on this one. Nice background synths, and satisfying noises on the towers!
