Fun little tower defence game, well done! And good use of anniversary assets also!

slenz1337Developer315 days ago

Thank you! We definitely tried our best to play in their sandbox! We also had a split down the middle of strengths which I think really helped to get the idea going...both of us were set on Tower Defense and we had some other wishful thinking of what we were hoping the art assets would be! That's okay though haha.

Must be the best ducking td game. Well done, considering the time frame this was developed at !

Thank you so much for this! We definitely ground away on it and made sure we had fun. Ike and I do want to likely continue this too and turn it into a nicely polished game. It's been fun and taking the feedback and accolades is so great!

Super inventive use of the Flappy Bird as turret-guns and loved that enemy wearing hat🎩, that twist made me smile. Great job! 😊

I like what you did in modifying the art for the enemies – fun! The music is soothing (but does it fit the theme?). ^^

Thank you for the compliment! And this is an interesting perspective! What type of music would you expect to hear or if it's possible, would you prefer choices for different beats of music? hah.

Very slow and basically no difficulty, in the end enemies just die instantly

Thank you for the honest feedback! We are definitely just sitting and taking all of the feedback in currently as we intend to continue to push more on this :). Does it have potential to fit you needs? What are 1 or 2 suggestions would you have for us to put focus into next, given that we are a 2 man team?

Reply
NeonageSubmitted317 days ago (1 edit) (+2)

My suggestions:

  1. Focus on polishing core game loop aspects, balance and feel, it needs to be challenging and engaging.
  2. Develop consistent art style and change setting, maybe experiment with 3D art (you can check out Unity's Tower Defense Template).
  3. Add VFX that makes it easy to distinguish which towers hit enemies.
  4. Add enemy healthbars.
  5. Add tower stats info when clicking on tower, show tower range, also info about upgrade cost and changes.
  6. Add abilities that go on cooldown (ex: drop a meteor in clicked area).
  7. Add risk-reward mechanics like: investing gold in "mines" that give you more over time, summoning wave ahead of time to get more gold.
  8. Make less cells for towers to balance the player's power spike.
  9. Make levels, start game with small and simple ones, introduce new enemies and mechanics gradually.
  10. Star-scoring at the end of level based on how much HP you've got left.
  11. Add bosses.

Basically - look at all the TD games you like and analyse them thoroughly, see which common things you must have, which unique mechanics you like and what you may experiment with. And don't be ashamed of copying - everything was created before, we remix things, we put old stuff into a new context, thus making it unique and with our own flavor!

Thank you for the detailed list here! I appreciate the thoughtfulness and care because it means you do like the concept, just clearly wish it was way more developed!

Still playing it in the background!
Loved the overall experience of this game. I'm currently still playing it as I get caught by surprise by some enemies.

Definitely a game worth checking out if you are a fan of TD games!

slenz1337Developer317 days ago

Thank you for stopping by and for the feedback! It's a small work in progress (WIP) and that's definitely how we like it! I need to definitely be cooking up more enemies and mobs going forward depending upon how deep we go.

You've made a good job! But I missed challenge and speeding up time, so  I found the gameplay a little boring

We have noted this and I have a feeling this is going to be common feedback! haha. We are definitely going to let ideas simmer and press forward from here!

Great game! I had a lot of fun playing it and probably also because I love TD games, I found that the best strategy is to just stack a bunch of basic ducks at the start and it clears everything in a whim! I played until around like hour 10 btw, overall cool creation!

Thank you! It was awesome to see a game come to life in such a short time with just the two of us! We both had tower defense nostalgia too. The audio was homemade as well and we absolutely enjoyed the process. I am quite sure that we plan on continuing to unpack and have some fun diving further into this game.

AmazicatSubmitted317 days ago(+1)

That's great to hear! Keep on making games in the future, you two are off to a great start! Good luck!

Hi! I've played your game, it's nice core for tower defense game, I know it's not easy to make that haha, but if I can give feedback, 1. Add some kind of juiciness in the game, when enemies taking damage, when they die, when turrets are attacking, that would be making the game so much fun. 2. Maybe in the future you can add some kind of stats when hovering on Turrets, their data, attack speed etc, so player knew what should their upgrade. That';s all, it was a nice game for 2 days, good job!

Thank you for taking the time to play and for giving us feedback! We definitely plan on juicing this up a bit here soon as we had a ton of fun building this out. I helped with handling the art assets, production, and plan on responding  to everyone that tries out our game with thoughtful responses. It was such a fun event and looking forward to playing some of the other games on here too and we appreciate you!

Cheers,

Stephen

Absolutely, we weren't able to implement SFX or visual effects in time for submitting but they will add such a good feel to the game. I like the stats idea! Thank you for playing :))
