The premise is funny and absurd, but the gameplay is surprisingly straightforward and intuitive. I dunno if you did your own art or not, but it is so lovely and charming. The style and colors are just so cozy and perfect for a TD game. It's a great entry to the jam, good job!

That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Gun and Had to Buy People to Protect My House's itch.io pageJudge feedback

- A tower defense where you are hiring people instead of well you, very well done. having many choices for each tower was a very good idea. I really liked that the towers aged over time, so you had to stay on your feet and think ahead. The towers did age a little to fast for my liking, giving me very little time to figure out how they are doing. the art style really made this one stand out, it was a nice touch.

Summarise your game!
A tower defense game where your defensive units are human and therefore have lifespans and costs associated with them that traditional “weapons” do not in this genre. Use WASD/Arrow keys to move around and collect hearts from enemies or elder units as you use those hearts to click on turrets and adopt new people. Come up with a strategy to keep the waves of enemies from overrunning your house!
You are a gun who fears other weapons invading your base and stealing your wealth. You know humans are creative and tenacious and decide to use them to protect yourself. The humans utilize whatever professions they have to defend your base.
Please explain how your game fits the theme:
In this game you are literally a weapon, however you are pretty useless as a weapon itself, so we also turned it around and had the weapons be you (as in the ‘humankind you’). The idea came up from the juxtaposition of the literal interpretation of the theme with the absurdity of humans being weapons too.
