How does your game represent "Slick"?
Besides the slick soundtrack, the most slick thing about this game is that it was made in less than 3 days because I procrastinated. Given I'm a one-person team doing sound, music, art, programming, and game design, I'd say that's pretty slick.
My game requires the player to be slick with their mouse, and slick with their judgment. I also put in some small details that I hope are found slick, like how I made the dial number tuned to a blues scale which is in the same key as the background music. I also hope that the player feels slick when they pull off the right combination just in time.

Really enjoyed creating a deadly trap in the middle by connecting multiple similar numbers close to each other. The phone sound effects were on point and I’m not sure whether it was intentional or not, but sometimes the sounds seemed perfectly lined up with the background music.
The game is really fun and clever! Calling in my hitman crocodiles for a group assassination felt very slick!
This is a pretty unique idea. I like how customizable the strategy is. The mechanics appeared to be working as intended. Nice work!
The sound effects are so good and i love that this was solo deved!
a cool twist on the tower defence style of games. Those germs had no chance against my crocs on speed dial >:)
I do think I cheesed it a little bit towards the end, I found that I could just spam dialing 3-6 whose numbers I lumped around the bend, and constantly shoot out a barrage.
Definitely a fun game to play.
Really fun riff on tower defense! Awesome submission =)
Croc-o-cool game. Unique concept, and I like the bright colors. I wish I could actually call and talk to one of the crocodiles in real life. Dream.
wow. very clever. slick indeed. i may suck at it, but you cooked, dial those crocs.
Thank you for playing! And thank you for dialling the crocs!
Super entertaining. OP strat is to have the same number on the corner crocs and spam that number as they're coming round the corner.
Wow, how did you even think of this? I’ve never played anything like it, genuinely one of the most creative tower defense games I’ve seen.
I can understand others asking for numpad support, but I definitely feel like manually having to dial the numbers via the mouse adds a dimension to the game that would be lost with numpad support. I use a 12-button MMO mouse and as cool as it would be to speed-dial while hovering over the ‘call’ button, that would take away part of the experience I think.
Great work!
I'm really bad at it, but it's pretty interesting. I hope the crocodiles pick up the phone one day
Really cool concept for the game. Ive played a lot of tower defenses, but I have never seen one with this concept.
Very interesting concept, not something I ever would have considered. It helps that it's also fun
Very clever and fun little game. Unusual in just the right ways and I played it for longer than I should have lol.
Happy to hear you enjoyed it!
Wacky idea! I have to admit that when it started I was skeptical. Then when the second and third numbers came in I went "oooooh. Slick!" I do think you should try allowing the number keys rather than mouse: it would feel a lot more "arcade-y". [Oh, yeah, I see others have suggested the same].
Anyway, I spent ages playing this, really clever idea.
Thank you for playing!
Funny idea to use phone call to make crocodiles attack
Very fun to play! I like the idea of having to dial up your towers, very unique.
Nice Game! pretty simple but the concept was fun and original. I liked being able to spam dial a bunch of numbers after getting a lot of crocodiles.
Nice little game. It would have been great if there was more content but you did an awesome job with 3 days only
I like the concept of calling a crocodile. Nicely done!
That's a very original concept and I liked everything about the game
You should get extra points for completing this solo and in a short amount of time
Great job!
