I won't be harsh at your first game or game jam.. But I won't say good either.. Because could be just me.. But I don't understand how the game works.. When I place the tower defense in ground.. Didn't place it the ground.. For some reasons?.. Even despite did the game exactly tell me to do????.. I won't be mean and I go easy on your first game.. Since my first game kinda suck compared to mine other game  too ( Especially compared kill or be killed Mario exe game too ) But next time when you make new games.. Make some play test your game.. Otherwise you might find people like me not get or do exactly you want.. Because isn't example or clearly enough for us to understand.. I hope this helps :)

Cool concept and idea! I really liked the theme of Simplifier and how the enemies represent things like wasted time and anxiety. It’s a great first game!

Submitted(+1)

Super fun and well-made! Goes to show you don't have to go super hard to create a fun tower defense game. You can definitely win easily (just stacking ice/brainless nodes are enough), oppositely if you set up badly you won't gain coins anymore and won't be able to defend the next waves, so you definitely have to come prepared. Really cool entry, great job you two!

Developer

Thank you! That's why I made 'Try Again' Button that you can click during the game, since you might set up bad by accident so you can try again.

ayooo another tower defense!! 

i've seen quite a bit in the dc jam chat how much effort u've put into creating your game, and I can only say that I'm incredibly proud of you. If you continue to improve with love and dedication to this beautiful art of creation, I'm absolutely convinced you could be even greater than you think! I believe in you!

Developer(+1)

Thank you! I tried so hard because I wanted to complete my first game... 

Submitted(+1)

but that's excellent, twin, really! In my case, this wasn't my first, second, or third game, but the fourth I've tried to make (there might even have been more attempts I don't remember rn lol), and really the only one I've actually finished in my life so far xD

I'd be so proud if I were u, I mean, having your first game completely finished is insane!

Submitted

This is a pretty fun game but for some reason when I click try again, the waves don't work. ):

Developer (2 edits)

I fixed the bug! Hope you try again if interested :)

Submitted(+1)

Good concept but it's buggy and ( my opinion ) has too big intro. Controls are also strange. But the game has a good idea, the game works and that's good! Great job! ( especially for first game jam ) 

Developer

Yeah, if you can, can you tell me about those bugs? I am fixing them daily on the feedbacks

Submitted

When i died and restarted the game the enemies started to run before the intro ended.

Submitted

Check out my game too! Maybe u can help me find some bugs there

Developer

I am fixing those bugs rn! I will try your game after I fix some of them...

Submitted(+1)

Cool idea, but I don't know if it was intentional, but there is only one place to put all your simplifiers on, so less strategy, but for the first game it is good!

Developer(+1)

Huh? You have to move around using WASD and place the simplifiers. If you didn't mean that, I don't really get what you're talking about

Submitted

Oh... well you should fix the bug where you can place more than one simplifier on one place. Completely forgot about the moving part, sry. In that case the game is actually pretty impressive!

Submitted(+1)

Honestly, pretty impressive for a first game! Like you said, there are some bugs, but tower defense seems like a complicated game to start out with and it works! Nicely done

Developer

Thx! 

Submitted(+1)

Very cool concept!

Developer

Thx!!

Submitted(+1)

Nice one for being your first game. Given the different types of tool you have at your disposal I would have like to be able to place the squares wherever I wanted, but else really great job. Good luck!

Developer

Thx for the feedback!

Submitted(+1)

Nice job completing a TD game! I won't comment on balance or anything, but one thing to note is that you have 2 confirmations - "Are you sure you want to buy" and "Press Enter or Shift" both don't need to exist. Probably just keep Press enter or Shift because the player does not need to be triple checked. Good entry!

Developer

Ok thx for the advice! When I make other games/update this game I will keep those stuff in mind

Submitted(+1)

Nice little tower defense game :) I personally liked the enemy slow the most. Nice jam entry.

Developer

Thx!

Submitted(+1)

A pretty good game, it definitely requires some polish, but for a first game, not bad tbh, i liked it!

Developer (1 edit)

Thx for the advice! Where does the game need polish, do you think? I am trying to get as many feedbacks as possible..

Submitted(+1)

This is a neat game, although it suffers from a few balance issues. I really liked the artstyle though

Developer

Yeah everybody say that the defending dudes are overpowered...

Developer

Pls leave some feedbacks for my game!!!

Submitted(+1)

I always liked tower defense games as a kid so this game truly bring me back to simpler times . However its a bit unbalanced as its way to easy, apart from that I like it.

Developer (1 edit)

Yeah  this morning I was playing the game and figured that the defending dudes are too overpowered.... Thx for the advice!
