  • The legend of Bob the Tower is a tower defense game where by placing Bob in different patterns in 3d space creates different types of towers with different effects. The tower pattern designs are a great concept and implemented well, with varying difficulty based on value of the tower (wall easier to make than mortar for example). I loved the take on the theme where you create your own defense points, however a core concept of tower defenses is making chokepoints that enemies must take damage to go through. I found it very difficult to create these points as there were no terrain obstructions as starting points nor indications for where enemies were spawning/pathing. The game was smooth with fully functional sound and effects. I did run into an issue where towers were not being created if under attack which lead to some game losses; it would be good to either implement some kind of Bob invulnerability to attack or making the game AI just attack the center as opposed to both the center and Bob. Overall, great job, I enjoyed playing!

Summarise your game!
A unique spin on tower defense, where you duplicate yourself to build defenses. The game is in third person

Please explain how your game fits the theme:
You use your own body to build towers, for example if you build a tower with just 1 duplicate they will punch enemies, but if you build a tower with 2 duplicates on top of each other the bottom one carries the top one so they can have time to throw their magic.

Very cool idea!

The Bob character model is real well done and I really dig the art style.

The music is a jam and really sets the tempo!

The way the game is explained sounds like a lot of fun, but for some reason I couldn’t quite figure out how to spawn the duplicates in an effective way to prevent the enemies from taking over my tower. Perhaps adding a mini tutorial would be helpful for new players.

Overall, great work!

Awesome game, and interesting approach to a tower defence! I'd make the enemies a bit slower or have less health because they qute easily get through defences - although, at the same time, it adds a challenge. Good stuff!

Nice game, love the style and good job overall, because 3d can be difficult! The enemies walk past the towers quite fast, maybe make an alert where an enemy is and when it's attacking the base structure? It looks really nice and promising!

really cool take on tower defense, and the models and style were great. Took me a bit to understand but got through a few waves once I got the hang of tower placement and kiting the enemies. Good job!

lovely style and great gameplay idea! I would've liked something small to defend myself at the beginning, just so I don't have to walk around all the time, but I enjoyed playing it.
