Pretty fun, but a couple of suggestions:

  • Building a unit was a bit too tedious: you don’t keep the same unit selected after building one, and so you need to frantically keep returning to the bottom right. Without a mouse (laptop gamer), this was a bit difficult. Similarly, hot keys for switching the selected unit would be nice.
  • It took me a bit to realize that the cannon could be rotated. Yes, I should have read through the instructions carefully beforehand, but it’s probably useful to keep in mind that, when played in the browser, one cannot easily consult the instructions while playing.

It probably says something that I kept going back to play while writing this comment…

Awesome! Very well made tower defense! I loved the overall look of the game, especially the enemy designs! The snow effects were also really cool! It was very polished overall, but the cannons didn't seem very useful. I would suggest adding ui for when the enemies will arrive. A very fun game. Nice work!

Very nice game, feels polished, and gameplay is solid

Wasn't sure when the enemies will start coming. Maybe a bar could be added in the top UI alongside the snow counter

I found that when I clicked the exit button the game froze (web version). But otherwise everything is done well.

Yeah I think it only works on the downloadable version.

It’s because if you press it, the game should close, but in the web version closing it means freezing it.

I think this is the first tower defense game I've seen out of this jam, and it's great! Minimal art style works well with the overall design. Buildings are intuitive and easy to use. The snowmen might need a little tweaking (they're very cheap and pretty strong). Otherwise, great job!
