How did you implement the theme?
I made a robot ecosystem of different robot types and predators, scrap as a sort of food for them, and natural death.

How did you add the special object?
The 3D printer is how you seed your robot ecosystem.

Not easy to understand but looks very interesting, it does fit the theme pretty well

Developer

Fair enough! If I wanted to win I would have polished it and gave more of a tutorial.

the only tower defense game i can play.

Very cool game! 

My mind immediately goes to think of good composition for the team (i.e. spam scout vs 1 scout to 1 defender). Music is cool and gives off the right vibe for the game.

My only gripes with the current state of the game is that sometimes, due to the randomness of the movement, we get some downtime where basically nothing happens (our robots just hang around in a corner where the predators doesnt go to). Might be just my luck, though xD

Developer

Many thanks! Yeah you pretty much hit the nail on the head with this comment

Submitted

cool, if possible take a look at my game

Developer

Nice concept!This game has potential,i had fun building only scouts hoping to win.

Developer(+1)

Thanks!

This game has a lot of potential:) the current jam version is nice but the strategy is limited: 

-Get print scout to get enough scrap for defender

-Get print defender to kill

-Get print builder to get scraps

It would be interesting to see an expansion! anyways great job!

Developer

Agreed! and thanks!

Submitted

It's interesting, but all of the units feel pretty useless, the scout just runs around with no defenses. The printer builder just dies instantly and doesn't print anything, and getting scraps is too hard because it takes a while to understand the game.

I like the art, tho, so nice job!

Developer

Did you even get to use the defender? if you print a scout at first you basically get a free defender which 90% of the time goes in and annihilates the entire predator species and then you can clean up with one builder a lot of the time... Oh well

Submitted

The scout basically just ran into the predators and died.

Developer(+1)

This is actually really helpful because its not clear enough that you should make good use of time as the enemy starts almost immediately.

Submitted

I don't see how this is helpful. What's the point in spending the money in something that will die in less than 10 seconds? It doesn't even serve well to distract the predators cause it dies so quickly.

Developer(+2)

I meant your critique was helpful, so thank you. The game itself is more difficult than it should be because it isn't clear at first what to do or to do it right away.

Submitted

Oh okay, no problem!
