Thanks everyone for the comments and feedback. I would like to keep working on this idea, I unfortunately was in a rush and left a lot of things unpolished.
I really like the idea of mixing tower defense with stock market shenanigans. And I love the og isometric style and sprites. Like many others, I would have liked a tutorial, or at least pop-up informations about what the different towers are doing. But I feel like with some tweaking, this game could become really fun!
I like the art style and the idea is great. I like the sound effects too. Some more visual juice would make the game really shine! Also, the game just stopped in round 4, it might be because I had no money, if so, you should add a lose screen. Great job!
I wish there was a tutorial! But nice art style tbh
Cool tower defense twist with the market, but I got stuck after wave 3 and couldn't figure out the towers without a tutorial. The art's nice, though!
I agree with Weirddemongames i would have liked a tutorial or at least tell me what each tower does. also i found a bug. If you had enemies going through your defenses and pass off the screen while you have the menu for placing a tower open you wouldnt take damage and the next round would never come.
Thank you for catching that. It definitely needs more time to bake.
I liked the art, and I feel like there was a good game there, I just wish there was a tutorial
Art style is cute and the main mechanics work pretty well, I think at like wave 3 though I just could not buy anything or spawn anything in again, I am a little confused on how the limitation really fits here, I know the market might fluctuate maybe but the limitation is implemented a little too quietly.
Nice tower defense game, sadly it didn´t work for me from wave 3 onward. Maybe add some descriptions for the towers.
The uses of theme and limitation is pretty good! asa well as the pixelart! good game
