Nice art, and a great take on tower defense. I wasn't sure about the placement/attack area of some of the objects. I had no idea the tree was going to be larger until after I placed it. Maybe it should highlight the tiles that it will cover instead of (or maybe in addition to) the areas it won't. This was a nice little complete package. Great work!

The pixel art caught my attention especially the ocean waves and its animation, they look well made.

The game design is interesting. I like the idea of waves damaging the towers at front. However it needs warning indication how far the next wave can travel, for now it is just the whole 3 rows. Also this can potentially add depth to strategy. Thinking of different wave patterns per turn and player have to reposition the tower if necessary. Or maybe a tower or item that benefits from water.

I won at first try with first tower and healers - too easy. But I understand that balancing is hard especially in short time period. And please, the sounds are really loud and annoying.

I guess that's it. You did a pretty great game.

Make the coconut tree shoot some coco.

The water and the waves looked good. You have followed the theme of this jam well. I had a bit of a problem understanding the mechanics in the game. Was not sure where i could place deffences and how the healing workes. Here is a video of me playing the game:

got to wave 10! i really like the mechanic of enemies washing up onto higher parts of the beach in harder waves. the building selection looks overwhelming at first, even though you can only afford one tower it still feels like you're being pressured to save for something that might be better. i can't say if saving is optimal or not, just that having the choice so early feels overwhelming

probably gonna come back tomorrow and try to get a better score

Great music, and cool double down on the "wave" theme. The selection of building wasn't super responsive, and at first I didn't figure you could swipe up to get the cheap tower. I had a great time playing it!
