Great tower defense game! Art was simple but everything felt sleek. Sound was pretty relaxing as well, I enjoyed the recourse management aspect of the idea akin to a Factorio x Balloons Tower Defense kinda game. If this was more polished it with more content it could be even better. Great demo for a great idea. The only feedback I might have would have been including the loop theme into the game a little more, as from what I gather it's tower defense game (which I guess is a loop in it's self of buying new stuff), and the towers were circles. Very well executed on a very well thought out idea. Love this!

This game was really fun. The gameplay was super entertaining, and you really feel rewarded with the time you spend on it. The artwork was simple but fitting and allows the ui to look clean. The music was also great, almost psychedelic. This is probably my favorite game from the jam thus far. 

I think having an option to replace old units with new ones could help. Other than that, I guess new content would be cool as well.

I'm looking forward to seeing how this game develops. Keep up the good work.

i could geniuinely see myself having a lot of fun with a more developed version of this game, different maps with various routes, more towers with added complexity, balancing all the various resources, like something akin to a more resource based btd6.
the central game mechanics are definetly there but among polish and QoL features it primarly needs a lot of balancing, as the current game definetly scales way too fast for me and i cant get as far as i'd like.

as for the presentation, the graphics are quite nice if not a bit simple, there are no sounds which is a shame as i'd love to hear all the little SFX the towers'd make as they perform their various functions, but there is some BGM atleast, which isnt amazing but it does enough to provide some needed ambiance and interest to an otherwise empty soundscape.

overall, a game that has very high potential for some strategic fun, but is limited as a game jam release.

Immensely fun! You did an excellent job of combining resource management with the mechanics of tower defence.

Had a blast with the pixel art and tower-defense flow! Hitting that resource snag was frustrating in the best way—made finally breaking through feel so satisfying. Well done!

At the beginning I felt powerfull... Until I locked myself  by not having enough build resources... haha

Nice artwork, congrats for this tower defense game !

I softlocked myself multiple times by having the wrong build order, which lead to my guns having not enough ammo and not having enough build resources to build factories lol. Once I got the right order, it was quite fun though.
The placing of buildings felt a little unresponsive, because the building blueprint drags behind the cursor. I think having the blueprint move with the same speed as the cursor would feel nicer :)

 I wanted o create a smooth building systim and add this system. I should have set a bigger following fast to create a better fealing for the players. Thank you for feedback!

Great pixelart. removing buildings would be very nice. Great job

This is really fun, ramps up in difficulty really fast, which I prefer to slow and drawn out

Developer

How many attempts did it take you?

Submitted

I think 4? dont remember exactly

I probably went a bit overboard with the difficulty, but for me as a developer it was easy to get through

Submitted(+1)

I enjoyed the difficulty, to me its better to be harder than too easy (but thats just me)
