sorry i didn't rate this game in time i was stuck listening to the music on the calendar
hella cool art and sound! felt really satisfying to kill vampires >:)
THIS IS AWESOME!! The gameplay art is super cute, the splash screen absolutely RULES! I loved the extremely variable gameplay mechanics, nothing gets my brain ticking like trying to manage multiple things at once. SO much fun -- I haven't beat it yet but I'll definitely be returning to do so!
Just came back and beat the game. So much fun! Plants vs Zombies was such a huge part of my childhood, loved to see the obvious references (the item drop animations, notes, etc.) but with tower defense mechanics tossed in from other inspirations. Like I said in my initial comment, managing between rooms and activating / deactivating towers was a ton of fun for me! Being able to swap rooms around was an incredibly "get out of jail free" moment to bring a monster from the very end to the very beginning -- a strategy with varying degrees of success once monsters were showing up across multiple rooms. So many great designs for both the ghost towers (LOVED the bear animation) and monsters (omg, the guy who'd just turn off all your towers... :P) Music slapped, and audio design was great too, especially for tracking which enemies were present!
Needless to say I really enjoyed the game!
The game play is amazing! the animation transitions and visuals are so smooth. definitely a 10/10 experience!!
This game is very polished! The visuals are very appealing as well the sound and game design of this game.This game is very fun and chaotic! I liked the artwork of the claw shaped candle holder, this one feels like the best game in the jam.
Visuals and sound are awesome! The music is catchy and the vampire blehs are funny. The intro did exactly what it needed to. There was only one imperfection that I noticed when a "bleh" was cut out because the enemy was destroyed before its sound was finished playing. It would be nice to know which objects are active in each room, too. You successfully innovated in a tired genre, so nice job all-around.
As always you guys do a great job with the visuals. The mechanic of swapping the rooms around was chaotic and interesting gameplay wise, however I did find myself fighting with the controls a bit from time to time to navigate the rooms. Managing resources across rooms was also a bit annoying too, since I never was able to accurately track where my ghosts were beyond the room I was looking at. Also while I do really like how projectiles travel between rooms, it was annoying that some paths were close to lining up, but were just offset enough to where it wouldn't satisfyingly line up. This is a really unique take on a tower defense and a great use of the theme, bravo guys
The visuals are absolutely incredible, even the simple cartoon cutscenes at the start look awesome. The music and sound effects are perfect for this as well. I've never really played a game like this (my kids play these types of games on Blooket, but they require zero skill) so it took me a bit to get a hang of it, but once I did it was fun. Well done.
I love the bloons TD mixed with Plants vs Zombies! A whole new wrinkle of the different towers interacting with each other was crazy inventive and made me feel like a mad scientist!
Some of the furniture blocking patterns were the most clear and would have loved some tool tips on the new towers, but overall amazing entry!
One of the best jam games I've ever played. Music, art, gameplay, length, theme usage, and tone are all excellent. Great work to everyone involved.
2 much game. I played all the way through.
10/10 would play a full game of this. I wasn't sure if there's a way to change the direction of the towers but that would have been nice
Tears in my eyes, 10/10. No notes. I need a full game like this RIGHT NOW TODAY. Incredible art, incredible music, incredible premise that, honestly, I didn't think would work but GOOOOOOOOOOD DAMN does it deliver! It's a lot of fun to have to keep track of the different rooms and how they connect. The toasts were lowkey the MVP, cause you could get away with leaving them on and having them take pot shots at the enemies above. The swap mechanic is really cool, but by the end I realized that I could just swap the last room back to the front and win every time. No big deal for a jam game tho. Maybe the swap is limited to adjacent spaces or each room "slot" could have special effects? I'd love to see more!
Wow!
This is a really wild ride. The art is fantastic, the music/sound is great. Its a very cool concept as well, with the multiple stages/rooms spread out each level
Great job to the whole team!
