This was really good. I'm usually not huge into ecenomy/tower defense type games, but this one hooked me. It was super easy to understand, which I appreciate a lot. The tutorial did a great job explaining the basics without overwhelming me. I never felt lost.
I really liked the rouguelite structure too. Starting simple with a small set of buildings and then slowly introducing new ones through the card picks felt great. It gave me the freedom of deciding between introducing new structures or just focus on what I have now. And then having the permanent upgrades between runs, once I felt comfortable, was a nice layer on top. I definitely went population upgrade first lol.
The visuals fit everything well, animations were smooth, and the SFX when placing buildings felt nice and chunky. This was a really good good, great job on this one, seriously.
