Visually speaking, this game is very charming. I appreciate the variety of units, as well as the fact that this is a reverse-tower defense instead of a generic tower defense.

My only wish is that music gets added. Besides that, this game is extremely polished

I’d love to see the store open when the level starts, or at least a hint to click on 'Shop' to get going. Adding the ability to sort the order after a purchase would be a great addition too. Really loved the pixel art and gameplay. I'm a big fan of Tower Defense games. Gj!

The use of the shop for waves preparation is pretty weird but it works well !
Music would be a must.

speaking only about the visuals and the gameplay this is very well made and could be a releasable game. Would love to see a future version of it on Steam!

The concept is great, I like the art style too !
As a small improvement, I think you can put the content of the shop in a bar at the bottom or a side of the screen instead of in a separate menu (like you would have in a classic tower defense). This would make it easier to access and buy the bugs

Nice artstyle! Looks very pretty. Shooting feels impactful and the gameplay is fun. Creative levels and the use of new creatures. However, I was unable to beat the level with 6 flowers. Music would be good, but I understand that there was probably not a time for it. But all in all, very nicely polished and a lot of fun, which is super important. If you worked on this after the jam, I think you could have a very good and fun game. Well done!

Game looks absolutely pretty. The sfx is just enough for feedback. Could have add a basic bgm so the game less quiet tho (but I totally understand, time constraint and all that). Level design is pretty nice, too bad when it just started to getting hard and the game end. Overall great game.

Great job! I really liked the variety in the different bug types - it made it interesting despite the small selection of bugs and levels. Could be a great tower defense game if some more is added!

Neat "reverse" tower defense. I like the added depth of having to not only reach the sugar but also be able to consume all of it. Nice polished graphics and sound for feedback. Just needs some music.

This was great! It's well focused and feels very solid. It's such a minor thing, but
I especially liked the fireflies on the interstitial screens. If I had anything to
complain about it'd be that the UI was a bit too clunky for my taste; lots of clicks are
required to set up the troops and there's no obvious way to undo an individual decision
or re-order things.

Really fun reverse tower defense game! Agree with the last commenter about wanting an easier to use UI, but other than that, the only thing I would want is more levels! Great job :)

The last level was quite the challenge, very fun! :)

this is really cool, I've never seen a reverse tower defense game before. and it's such a good idea. the only comments I have are similar to the others, the UI could be streamlined a little, and maybe the game could be a bit faster paced. but overall I think this is a fantastic entry, with a really cool concept. I'd love to play a 'complete' version of this idea

The visuals of this game are seriously impressive for a jam! Congrats

That last stage was a challenge! The visuals are great, I love the blurred foreground.

It felt sort of puzzle-y? Like it kinda felt like there was only one solution for each stage, and no room for error. Not complaining, I like puzzles, it's just not what I was expecting.

Only complaint is the shop UI is clunky and a bit annoying to navigate.

Overall pretty fun!

Nice reverse tower defense game. It has more nuance than meets the eye such as some units are strong but doesn't extract sugar while some are weak but extract more sugar.
