when I saw the description I thought that I wouldn't have to shoot at all, I was a little upset that I still had to shoot, it's not the first time I've thought about the fact that a TD without shooting would be an interesting solution.

Yes, the game turned out to be hardcore, but focus on the guns and they will save your light! 😁

@aleksey4adoff Yes, we also had doubts about this. And apparently they are confirmed. Your gnome game is cool too! 😀

Передаю коллегам по цеху привет)) и скажу что игра просто прелесть. Немного было непривычно стрелять на ПКМ, а строить на ЛКМ, но к этому вскоре привыкаешь 🙂‍↕️

Реально классная игра, как на мобилки в школе играл, можно даже на ЯИ выложить, вполне может что-то заработать.

Interesting game. I couldn't see the price of the walls listed anywhere? hard to know when i could afford to build something.

Приятная графика с необычным дизайном. Сама игра достаточно заполишена, но выживать 10 минут это реально долго)

Very cool idea with the way you build your base out of layers. I like the challenging difficulty!
Game also looks really nice graphically. Good job!

Not a bad premise, definitely needs a balance pass though, skews way towards the hard in the opening when you're still figuring out the basics. Thinning out the early waves while you get used to it woulda helped a lot. Otherwise, looks and sounds real nice, pretty good for a jam entry!

Круто! Я как нуб умер раз 5, но если это и должен быть хардкор, то отлично. Звуки, графика, геймплей - все на высоте для LD. Играл бы в такое на телефоне)

@ranzor Yes, we didn't do it intuitively 😅 When you hover the cursor over the wall location, the price is displayed in the bottom panel. It differs from the circle, the larger the wall, the greater the price and benefits 🤑

@luksor Thank you, our artist tried to convey the atmosphere of the dark underdark 😈

I like the simplicity. There are not many elements and everything works perfectly.
It would be nice to add HP-bars to the walls and the ability to change one type of wall.
Really liked the idea of on ion rings as walls. Great job guys.

@d-indie Yes, we had this idea at the beginning. But we didn't have time to do it 😅

Great concept and style, an awesome game overall!
The wave starts off a bit too quick in my opions which leave you no choice but to build turrets and the beginning. I managed to stabilize afterwards tough and made a good mix of energy and turrets - the walls seemed pretty useless tough. I made it all the way to the end and had a good time :)

really cool idea and nice execution of this concept. it feels a little stressful at first, but if you adjust your strategy it is kind of manageable. must say it is a little too stressful for me, but im not good with these kind of games. Still, cool game!

Really like the graphics ! About the game itself I find it quite hard to play, ennemies stack super fast and building are very weak and are destroyed in a couple shots, so if I build turrets at first I don't have enough energy, but if I build energy at first I don't have enough defense and my energy builders will get destroyed, so I think a bit of pce at the start would be nice !

Took me a few tries to get through the opening section but when I did I became unstoppable!!

Great job!

That looks SO good! Really big congrats to the artist, amazing work. For the game design: Very easy to understand and cool interpretation of the theme but too hard for me personally. Great job though!

It was mentioned already but the game is too hard :weary:

But other than that it looks gorgeous, and despite the difficulty I was still tempted to give it a dozen tries, it still is very fun lol

It's a fun game, but I didn't understand what the topic was, cute art and an interesting idea.

That is a very nice tower defense game! It gets addictive quite fast. Though I wish I could sell inner layers to replace them with solar panels.

Deciding between solar panels and turrets in the early game is quite hard. Didnt't manage to make it further than the first to minutes. Other than that: great graphics, plays well and really nice music/sound design.

Хардкорная игрушка) Идея оч крутая, лук это находка, нигде такого не видел, но сложность конечно через чур :) но понятно что если замедлить игрушку темп упадет. Мне не хватило возможности заменять блока, хотя может это и есть и я тупой. Арт, эффекты, все на высоте, игра отполишена по полной. Молодцы!)

Отличная игра! Хотя очень сложная, я продержался максимум минуты три.


Мне понравилось ^_^

Very solid tower defense game, and the layering system adds a lot of depth and variety. My only issue with it is that I think this game would have benefitted greatly from an endless mode.

Challenging and not immediately intuitive - I had to die a few times before figuring it out. The concept is cool though, feels pretty unique. And the visuals are nice. But it's hard... most players are casual these days

Nice game you made.
Would love to try out more levels of that kind with different enemies and such

RUS: Рад видеть людей в RUS сегменте :)

А это довольно круто!

Графика - супер, но теряется при отдалении камеры и хотелось бы что-то на фон (правда и так игра выглядит хорошо)

Играть в эту игру действительно интересно! Выбирать тактики, подстраиваться под ситуацию, следить за врагами и осуществимый таймер в котором есть шансы продержаться до конца!

Гипнотическая музыка. Просто - ВооовуууВооовуууВооовууу!

Хорошая работа!^^

ENG: it's pretty cool!

graphics - great, but they get lost when the camera zooms out, and I would like something in the background (although the game looks good anyway)

This game is really fun to play! Choose your tactics, adapt to the situation, watch out for enemies and a real timer, in which you have a chance to hold out until the end!

Hypnotic music. Just - WooooooowwWoooooowwWooooooooooww!

Good job!^^
