I really like this! I took it upon myself to clear most of the stages with the default circle since the others didn't give that much of an advantage to me, it was really fun!
Haha I am glad you enjoyed!
I really like this reverse tower defense type of game. The gameplay loop is fun, it makes you manage your resources in the earlier stages to use more powerful viruses later in the run, because it kinda turns into bullet hell at that point. Incredibly fun, good VFX, there is space for visual improvements in how levels look. Overall, good idea, good implementation, I really liked the game, although it might be even more challenging in future levels.
Thanks for the feedback! I am glad you enjoyed
You made a really nice game loved the art and projectiles also the gameplay was fun avoiding the projectiles and trying to reach the end also i was surprised that this game was made from scratch the art the sound effects and music and also the code really great job, also if you dont mind you can give my game a try.
Hey! I am glad you enjoyed my game! Also I have already played your game lol
This was a very fun game to play! I always loved playing tower defense games and I feel like the twist where you are the enemies hasn't been done that much and you did a really good job at implementing it! I love the variety in both your enemies you can choose from, and the variety in towers that attack you. My one feedback is that it felt a bit easy to just rush past the enemies as they always shoot where you were before so maybe if the towers have a chance to shoot in the direction you're going, it could spice things up. But overall, a great game!
Thank you so much! I am glad you enjoyed
Super fun game! I think having to send 5 breaching viruses is a little too much tho, so, maybe only 3 would suffice :)
Thank you for playing my game! I am glad you enjoyed!
This game was fun :)
At first it is relaxed and a stage to collect money for the late game, and I really like the scale of difficulty that each level is going through. I thought the towers were pre “scripted” but then I realized that tower are RNG and I like that, makes each run more unique and gives more gameplay in a sense that you can have a very hard run with upgraded snipers and firewalls or a simple one with a lot of green upgraded towers haha
I think the only feedback about an error I spotted was, when you restart the level and the towers shoot towards the spawner, if you not pay attention, bullets from the last wave can kill you in the present wave, so would be nice if when the breach is done, the enemy bullets also disappear so it don’t kill the player just the new breach starts.
About the visuals, I really like them, simple and the glow the bullets have, give it a pretty effect, I really like the music, everythings feels great together!
The viruses are good, I always start with the zipbomb and then just blue ones. When I have enough money to spam the overclocker, I do it, I didn’t find myself using the other ones outside testing because the RNG didn’t put me in a situation to do so but I can see those as good picks depending on the run.
Also, while I was playing this, I felt this could be perfectly a minigame in a bigger game, like those that have arcades inside of the bigger game, I feel a bit addicting playing this just for the RNG and trying to finish the maps hahaha.
My favorite map is this:
Great and fun game :D
Thank you so very much for the elaborate feedback! I am glad you enjoyed it! I will surely take inspiration from your comment and improve my game!
fun game, i like how it increases difficulty little by little
but the fact that you have to start from zero if you die made it very difficult for me, even though i still enjoyed it
Thanks! I am glad you enjoyed!
I was recommended this game and it is very good. I liked the variety in viruses and the idea that you could sustain overclock every turn by getting the collectables was very fun to me. The graphics are great and serve their purpose well, and the harder parts of the game are really rewarding to beat.
I think it is very reminiscent of old flash games like "This is the only level," where the repeats scale the complexity and difficulty. Though I think these games succeed through their intentional design and scaling, whereas the randomly placed towers, while cool in theory, often led to very easy paths to take in the levels. Additionally, I think the first rounds of each few levels starts to feel very stale once you've played a map or two especially with the length of 20 rounds. I think starting the player with a bit more challenge over a shorter period will make the gameplay more snappy and replayable.
Thank you For the Elaborate feedback! I will definitely take inspiration from your comment and improve my game!
Cool - pretty good concept. But uh... no way to fight back or spend money?
Thanks! I mean you can't really fight back but you can spend money to use better viruses I guess.
I like the reverse tower defense and analogized virus attacking theme, pretty creative idea.
Hey, Thanks a lot!
Great game. I get boss fight feelings with this all the time having to dodge all the projectiles. Awesome job!
Haha, Thank you so much!
Reverse town defence concept is awesome, I really like it. It has a lot of different units and the bullet hell is challenging but feels fair. Had tons of fun!
Thanks! I am glad you enjoyed
cool game! i love the concept. i can see some potential of this game! well done!
Thank you so much! Honoured to be noticed by super monke
oooooh oooooooh aaaaaaaah aaaaaaaah
The game is so good. and its hard.
haha thanks! yeah its hard, even for me lol
5 stars across the board. I've never seen a game concept like this before. Very creative. This game even has replayability since the towers spawn randomly. Only small issue is that the players hitbox feels alot bigger than the size of the sprite, so sometimes it feels like "this should not have hit me". But otherwise really well done
Thank you so much! I appreciate the constructive criticism!
You are great in doing all that artwork and also coming up with interesting concepts. Loved your game man
Thanks a lot!
