Death to the Right Paw by David Soriano

[raw]
made by David Soriano for Ludum Dare 56 (JAM)

PortadaJuegoGoblins.png Welcome to the wildest autobattler you’ll ever play, where chaos reigns and the stakes couldn’t be higher!

In this twisted world, you command a rowdy army of punk goblins, and your only mission is to hold off wave after wave of Nazi kittens—yes, you heard that right, Nazi cats. These aren’t your everyday furballs; they’re vicious, fascist felines hell-bent on tearing you to pieces. Every level is a brutal test of survival, made up of multiple rounds, each one harder and nastier than the last.

After each round, you get the chance to beef up your goblin forces, adding more troops and prepping for the next onslaught. But here’s where the real fun begins: mix and match different structures to create massive, unstoppable towers. With the right combo, your defense turns into an overwhelming fortress, capable of dishing out more destruction than those twisted Katzis can handle.

So gear up, strategize, and get ready to wipe those furry fascists off the map. Because in this fight, only one side walks away, and it sure as hell ain’t gonna be the cats! Captura1.png

It's a shame that we didn't have time to implement the final enemy or this evolution of one of the game's constructions, but anyway, we'll leave the sprites here just so they appear somewhere.

This was really cool. I found it quite hard but it was fun to play, will have to return to this at some point and try to beat all the levels!

@morepixels Yeah, maybe I went a bit overboard, but since I only had time to do 8 levels I didn't want it to be too easy.

Very good. It is clear that the visuals are not polished in places, but the idea and the feeling of the game more than compensate for this.

Simple to understand and fast to enjoy. On a constructive note, maybe healthbars on enemies/structures and damage per hit would be a nice feature to add

The game is really cool, sometimes a bit difficult but it makes you want to try even more to beat all the levels 100% xD The design and audio are really great and fit the game well. Nice job guys !

Fantastic! Absolutely knocked it out of the park - my favorite game so far. I played it on and on and on until I green-lit every level. Finding the perfect combination to just barley squeeze through every level was so rewarding, and the absolute shredding you do at the end with endless turrets was cathartic and thrilling.
The first moment you accidentally make a flame-turret, then watch it decimate the kitties - chef's kiss!
Amazing work - you should all be very proud

Fun game! I enjoyed it! I did not beat it as some levels were a bit hard for me and I would have liked some information about the structure like the health/damage (and maybe for the enemy too ?) to really try hard, as there it kind of felt like trial and errors.

@dlfr-marina
Thank you all so much! We really appreciate the feedback.
@shaggrg @leo-leo
Regarding adding a UI to indicate enemy and turret health, we thought about it but came to the conclusion that scaling the number of enemies would cause too much noise on the screen. We could look into implementing an option to show/not show that UI using a command.
@nouille @ugly-robot
And regarding the difficulty, I'm glad you were able to complete it 100%. We didn't know if the turret combination part would be well understood but we didn't want to tutor it too much in order to leave enough freedom to discover the combinations by yourself and gain that feeling of getting stronger after each level until you reach the final battle.

It was really fun game! I really like the art for the different characters and the choice of sound effects, it really added a lot to the gameplay. Its not that hard to understand when you first get into it and it keeps on building on itself. Nice job

PWOoo, Masterclass !!! The challenge is perfectly balanced, the game is very polished, everything is perfect, I spend 1 hour playing it feeling like 10 minutes. Hope to see more of your game guys, I'm a big fan.

Man this game is hard but also very promising! Nice take on the theme too, the kind of humour works really well with these small yet pesky creatures!

@wesel @athospap @iaroslavik @selen93 @nija463 @tumy99 Huge thanks for all the awesome feedback!! It’s so cool to hear that you enjoyed the art and sound effects. We had a blast putting that together. I’m stoked that the theme and humor landed well with you all, (even if the game was tough!). It’s wild to hear that some of you got so into it that an hour flew by like 10 minutes!

A very cool game! The visual is pleasant (considering that the game had to be done in 3 days), and the gameplay is simply amazing. Of course, it was a little difficult for me to play the game and I decided to open all the levels at once to see all the mechanics. But still, the game is very cool!

Very fun! The assets look and sound very good, and while the game was difficult it wasn't too difficult for me not to have fun. Good job!

The game has a fun concept and is well-executed, though it can be quite challenging at times.

Fun game! I had to skip the level 6 but after that I could finish all levels. I wish the upgraded units were explained (or maybe they was and I missed it) because I found out about the "triple vertical goblin" only at the last level. Also sometimes I had troubles seeing were I was placing the units, something with the angle of the camera I think.

Great concept and humor! The goblins vs. cats theme is super fun, and the turret building challenge adds a nice layer of strategy. Loved the art and sound effects. Gj!
