I think maybe we get not enough food in the first waves and way too much in the last ones.
It is fun and well executed.
A grid system to snap the towers might make precise placement easier. And I wish there was a fast forward feature. I like the fact that you put an end instead of having an infinite amount of waves.
@arscene Thank you! A fast-forward button would be a great addition, I agree! I could have added an optional grid to help to place the towers neater. Happy you liked it :smile:
@grut607 Glad you liked the implementation, it's where I spent most of my time on this project. I'm very happy with the gameplay base I ended up making! Thanks for the compliments!
Enjoyed playing it and don't have anything major to complain about :)
Bit of music would have helped the mood and hotkeys for the 2 towers are always nice to have in a TD game.
Well done overall!

I would say very well implemented. Add few more enemies and more animals to defend the road with and I can imagine this being on the website with online games. More sounds would make wonders for this game. Other than that, well done!


Anyway, this was super polished! Everything felt very smooth and responsive, and I appreciate all the little quality-of-life features such as displaying when you don't have enough food to place a creature during placement or holding shift to place more (which I didn't get the point of until the last wave, but it was very fun spamming squirrels there :)). Even though there were only two towers, they was still a good amount of strategy involved, since you wanted to place the hedgehogs in very specific places to maximize the effect of their piercing attacks. I also really enjoyed the heavily dithered graphics, gave the game a very unique look! I agree that there could be slightly more food in the early game, but otherwise, this was very fun! Great entry!
Fun little tower defense game! Would have loved to see more tower variety/tower upgrades but understand the time constraints for compo - Great work!
I like the usage of the "tiny creatures" as the enemy.
Since you did make it all on your own in 48 hours, its really good.
Would have liked to have some more "towers" but alas, it´s a timed game jam!
Great game!
