Thank you for playing! 😉

You put it over a 2x2 square of your towers and upgrade them with space! Its a risk reward thing because it takes time to upgrade, probably too long, that feature was only added in last minute.
Thank you for playing! 💛

I did give it a shot prior, check my reply on your page because it's important!

Also the tower leveling in my game (to make the towers get stronger is reliant on clearing lines, so it's a balance between leveling up the towers and building tall!)

Thank you so much for playing! And yeah the "bomber" enemy ended up a little bit unbalanced, between adding them and the 2x2 tower and fixing major bugs in the process on the final day I didn't have enough time to tweak it to the best. Glad you enjoyed!

Thank you so much, posting all the devlogs work from the start definitely helped with making people realize the genuine work that went in!

I loved your game too, definitely one of the highlights of the jam for me! 

Thank you so much for the nice feedback! 💛

Was honestly my first idea this jam as soon as I heard mouse control wasn't allowed: I had planned to try make an RTS game as they are one of my most beloved genres, but tower defense isn't far behind. So tower defense tetris ended up being the thing I made 😆

Thank you so much for playing, and I love that you vibe with the music, I don't think anyone else commented on that and it was one of my biggest creative focuses this jam.

Thank you! It's a tricky balance between leveling vs building. Did you try the game since the jam extension day updates (which added difficulty, high score persistence, new enemy, tower combining at night etc). Lots of new content since the first time you played! 💛

Thank you so much! I am glad you enjoyed the idea! 💛

Yes the "bomber" was made to fly over your tower blocks and explode on them on death in a big AOE or hit the base. Part of the issue rn is the game balance is kind of a mess because while implementing a new enemy and the new 2x2 tower upgrade I fixed a major bug in the game that totally changed the balance right before I submitted the final build that went live for the jam. Previously every 1x1 tower that was in existence was 2 towers stacked so I had to eyeball the figures with damage number changes etc and go with it, and seems I got a lot of things wrong in the process.

Thank you! Your game was lots of fun! 💛

It's a balance of fill the screen with weaker but more numerous towers (less levels from line clearing) or less but stronger towers (by clearing lines). I find my preferred way to play is to clear lines for the first half of a day and then build like crazy towards the end!

As you commented in the main comments too I will leave my reply to you here from there:

The tower level is leveled up by merging lines. It increases their health, damage etc. To scale for the later waves you need a lot of levels or your towers get shredded like paper.

But it is not the most balanced/perfectly tweaked I ended up solving a major bug in the game that wildly swung the balance while I was implementing the 2x2 towers (turned out 2 1x1 towers were spawning on each tile and were doing double the damage they should cause double the attacks), and I didn't have time to tweak the balance much better after.

Thank you! Would like to have had a bunch more time for balancing! 💛
The 2x2 towers only barely made it in at all before the jam extension ended and I didn't think they would last night until I finally had a build to push.
