I'm proud of what you made too! Haha.😉 It does show a lot of effort! Fun survival - strategy game!

Fun and pretty fleshed out game. While it looks good, it was a little confusing and it took some clicking around and semi-random trying to get what I was supposed to do. There's already a lot going on, different towers, decent pathfinding, waves, resource management etc. and that is impressive. 

It could use a bit of work on the balance and on the on-boarding/tutorial side. 

Cool entry!

Yay! This game was soo fun! This is right up my alley of games. I really liked the strategy component of it where you have to check what's the best thing to have. I found it annoying (in a good way) when I changed a cannon to a generator, one of the shooting enemies would come, and It would be just out of range from the other cannons haha. I have no complaints, except a visual tutorial at the start would be nice to show what you're looking at and what all the buttons do. Awesome submission Pixel Quest! 

Nice job implementing a tower defense game with all these systems in a one week jam! The art was very clean too. I would have loved to have some tutorial or a way to introduce the mechanics to the player over time. It was a little confusing, but I did get a setup that worked pretty well at defeating the enemies. Overall, nice submission!

I like this game, but it needs balance- right now I put it on a second monitor, and it kinda plays itself. After you build all the turrets, and one healer, my guys are just toing a total massacre! Oh! When I was writing the last sentence the game finished (after 665 seconds and 17500 points).

It was more fun towards the start, when the placement of the buildings, and what you placed mattered. I lost a couple of games at first, because of that. Then, after I got initial placement right, I could focus on building more, and once I had all the places I was unstoppable, and it became a waiting game.

The graphics limitation are used well- you use only two circles for a turret, but because they are off-center you always know where they aim! Particle effects when all your guys are red are cool too! Really sell the "maximum power"! Pixelated font fits the retro sounds and simple graphics.

The sound is ok, but some music in the background wouldn't hurt.

As for the theme, I think you could do more with it. Like if there was some space anomaly, that would limit where you could build at a given time?

And the last thing- you SHOULD be proud of this game! Read the comments, figure what you did right (graphics, gameplay at the start), think about what you could do better (sound, theme), and see you on the next jam :)

The game is interesting. But the lack of instructions really made the game confusing. I dont like that the buff the troops gave was temporary as it has made them quite useless (take for example collector only having time for 2 generator cycles requiring you to have 9 generators to atleast make a profit).

I like it, and I'm glad to hear you're proud of it. I agree that clearer instructions would help your game, but I was still able to figure it out on my own eventually. I really like the design decision of making the combination of troop types buff certain  structures. Very clever.

I do think that the limited areas -- or at least the way they're positioned -- hurts the gameplay. The far out ones are spaced so far apart that I have to make them all cannons, or I can't fend off the far ranged enemies. This also hinders the freezer's usefulness, since if I use it to slow enemies  I can't reach them with cannons.

Good use of the limited shapes and your game shows promise, especially as a first jam submission. You definitely can be proud, it is a good game! However, slow pacing, a lack of instructions, and some rough edges in audio and visuals keep it from fully shining in my opinion. This is my honest review:

Game play / Fun / Engagement ●●●○○
It feels a bit too slow to get into the game, this makes it harder to get into the flow and understand what to do. Still, I can clearly see the idea and potential behind it. A bit more polish in pacing and on boarding would help a lot. That's why I gave 3 out of 5.

Art Style / Visuals ●●●●○
The incorporation of the limited shapes is great. It genuinely feels like the game was built around circles and pentagons only, which works really well. On the downside, I personally didn’t like the color combinations, and the way text was integrated with the shapes felt a bit off. That’s why visuals get 4 out of 5.

Audio / Sound Design ●●●○○
Both the music and SFX fit the game but don’t feel particularly polished. The sound effects get repetitive and annoying rather quickly, which hurts the experience in my opinion. Because of this, I rated audio 3 out of 5.

Theme ●●●●○
The limited space theme is there and works with the restricted areas, but the interpretation doesn’t feel very unique compared to other entries. Still, it fits the concept well enough to earn 4 out of 5.

Great job on submitting :) it was a nice idea, but I think a little too slow to really get going. Generally in a game jam you want to be aiming for 5-10 minutes of play time  and you want to really hook people at the start. It feels quite aimless at the start before you get a feel for how you can affect the game, and by the time you understand everything properly it becomes quite easy. I can't complain too much though, it's a jam game and you won't have had much time for testing :)

Visually, it looks pretty good, though all of the colours are too saturated! I think you need to tone it down a little bit. https://mycolor.space is pretty good for picking a cohesive colour palette.

It is interesting to see what we can do with shapes !

I like this kind of game. But as you said is unbalanced for now and I want to spam those create troops button. I hope you will make updates !

Maybe you can be interested by this project I participated to develop https://github.com/rakugoteam/Rakugo-Game-Template. It handle a pause menu when you press escape, and you can quit the game too :)

Nice job on the overall game! I think by far the weakest part of the game is the lack of guidance at the start, but if you fixed that the gameplay would be significantly more fun. Have a goal and a direction for the player in the future! Good job!

Small suggestion. Please don’t launch the game in full screen by default. There are no in-game instructions so keeping the instructions on the jam page visible would be helpful.

Fun concept, good execution. Was a bit lost at first, maybe a bit of a tutorial or some tooltips would help. Aside from that, maybe the start is a bit slow for my taste. Overall i liked the game.

Wow, your game is really awesome! I can’t believe it’s your first one. The gameplay feels so fun. Seriously, how did you manage to make something this good on your first try?

Hey there! You can really be proud of your game! I enjoyed the visuals and found the overall game to have an interesting concept. I think with a tutorial it would be tremendously better as it took me quite a while to figure out how to play the game. Just something that explains the core mechanics, what the goal of the player is and what the numbers mean (might of course be a me issue though). 

All in all good job!
