Cool game about sucking and puffing pipes.

BUILT TO SCALE! GMTK2024

I love the art. What a clever way of fitting the theme :> The amount of dolphins became overwhelming so just a little balancing maybe, but overall I had fun playing it! You could easily expand this by making more tower designs or even give John some friends who can help him out ^^ Good game!

Yeah we had to whittle down the idea to the bare minimum, but it could easily be expanded. Thanks for the feedback!

Took a bit to understand, and there seems to be bugs (like you mentioned, the turrets not targeting sometimes, and the retry and menu button when I died on the second level were not clickable). I enjoyed the presentation and the straight to the point tutorial at the beginning. Good one.

Nice game! It was a little cunfusing at first, that i had to take air from one tower and transfer it to the other, but then i got it.

this is a really interesting take on tower defence gameplay! could probably use more balance (tower defences are notoriously hard to balance) but I am impressed with what's there!

Got an error and couldn't run the game :/

(I won't rate it so it doesn't affect your score, in case it's a me-thing)

The errors says:

"An embedded page at html-classic.itch.zone says

Error: Couldn't load project data at path ".". Is the .pck file missing? If you've renamed the executable, the associated .pck file should also be renamed to match the executable's name (without the extension)."

I did only rename one file to index.html, but it seems to have worked. If some people get that error though, maybe its best to export future projects as "index" to reduce the possibility of it not finding the .pck. Thanks!
