Hey! I run Beckstar (beckstar.games), a curated site for AI-era indie games - every game is hand-played before it gets listed. I played through a batch of 5 browser games this week and both Realmward Tower Defense and Tankz: Arena made the cut. Two out of two from the same dev, that hasnt happened before.
Quick things:
1. I made a video review featuring both games:
2. I need to confirm one disclosure dimension. Your itch pages already cover code, graphics, sounds and text (appreciated - most devs dont bother). The one thing itch doesnt ask about is game design: was the design itself (mechanics, balance, level/wave structure) hand-made, AI-assisted, or AI-generated? Whatever the answer is, it just gets listed neutrally - we dont score it, we just show it.
3. Small note on Realmward: any plans for a portrait/vertical layout? The whole game reads like a vertical phone game, was a bit surprised it runs landscape.
No rush on any of this. Good games, keep going.
Hey Beckstar, really cool that you like my games and make videos about them :)
1. My AI flagship is Pyramid Wars. Maybe you like it, too. Foccacai's AI Browser Game Jam 3 finished a month ago. You will find cool games there, too :)
2. The game design of all 3 games is AI assisted.
3. Realmward TD is playable on PC and the smartphone. Therefore the vertical layout. It may be a bug that it runs sometimes in landscape mode. I run it on my Galaxy S22 in Chrome browser and have no issue. But I know on some phones it may be rotated wrong :(. Will fix it in the near future.
Cheers

Awesome game. I had a lot of fun playing it.
Also very addictive.
The only thing that is missing is the music.
Fun game. the Difficulty is way too easy though, even for a jam entry. i got to wave 10 with 70+ upgrades an level 14. i basically melted the boss in 2 seconds.
Just no fuzz survival in a nice retro look. Very enjoyable
This game reminds me of a similar project I did a while ago, but that's a spaceship io game, good job on this one! I rated you a great score in this and the other jam as well!
Great game! I got to wave 10, score 7415 my second. It runs awesome even with a ton of enemies and projectiles, is it a custom game engine?
Nice title screen that explains everything. I noticed Codex doesnt seem to be working, it is always empty for me, but really cool idea. Good in game presentation also and nice pause menu.
Gameplay wise it would help to add more variety to the enemies instead of just increasing how many there are. So that could effect their movement, bullet patterns, or give them other abilities. I had trouble using the rocket, not sure if it was working properly but it did not work as I expected. You should consider adding music it could help add more atmosphere.
Overall really nice and impressive work!
Thank You. Its vanilla HTML and JS, no engine. I heavily used Claude Opus.
The codex is updated with every round but will be deleted if you close the game. Will add local storage in the future.
Right clicking launches a salve of 3 rockets. Rockets have to be collected and are displayed over the player tank.
Nice ideas! Some more units and turrets currently appear until wave 27 with radial shooting or rocket launchers.
Better enemies and more abilities will be added soon :)
Fun to play and easy to understand. I really like that you can move the tank and use the mouse to point the turret in whatever direction you want using the mouse. It is also fun and simple to get these upgrades that you can select from making your tank better.
