I like this and that you basically made a TD incremental. The sounds and damage numbers are addicting to see. Good job!

Currently, it seems that the "connections" theme is tacked-on. A serviceable tower defense, otherwise, I played it through till the end.

Heck yeah! Love this style of game, with the ability to grind out if you get stuck.

The connections aspect seems like it could be built into something really cool, but in its current implementation it needs restrictions to matter. There are a lot of directions you could take it! Maybe wires can't cross, or a limit of connections per gun, or a limit of total connections, including a way to connect upgrades together which changes what they both do...lots of possibilities!

In any case, the core game is definitely fun already, so awesome job! :)

I beat it!! yaay!💪💪

 As someone who is very passionate about tower defense games, I really have to congratulate you for pulling this off in such a short time!! Love how you implemented the theme on it!! I had a hell of good fun!!

You are going to forgive my wall of text, and I know myself that 10 days is short to go beyond core mechanics, but I just love these games so much and I see real potential here!! So here is my feedback that you can treat more like 'my personal taste' rather than something to 'fix' in your game, ok?  :

• I think upgrades popup could be simpler and occupy less screen space, if possible. I know that this isn't super 'RTS ' and there is only 3 tower slots, but it's nice to see what's going on at the field when things are running..
• I believe there is space for prices or level info on the modifiers to be onscreen or at least when we hover over them, so we can plan as we go, instead of clicking through each of them all to check for prices.
• One quality of life improvement is that the  'connections' options for turret could also be just click and drag from the tower, so we don't have to click>>popup>>drag. Whenever I switched to a new turret it was many clicks, haha!, 
• Again, personal taste, but I'm not a huge fan of the bouncing buttons and icons when hovering.. it's just personal prefrence, but I think it would be nice just a simple shine or even just a scale pop, instead of scale AND bounce .
• I'm not sure if there is a limit for the connections you can make.. I was just linking every power up to every turret... haha! It would be a nice layer of strategy to give the player limited choice of what turret goes with what power up, depending on the wave and strategy.. just food for thought...
• The bullet sounds went a bit louder  when every turret was firing... it overshadowed the music a bit
• I like that there is a meta progression, where you don't lose your money if you fail.. very forgiving while still being super enjoyable  💪😊
• I think the knockback could use a little bit of calibration, if you get the chance... I found a loophole by wave 10  onwards where some of the big orc with sword were  just knockbacked infintely and never approached me.. hehe) 
• On the ugrade icons, It  would be nice to have them show up the current level somehow (maybe with colors)
• Another quality of life would be clicking outside any popup could close it too.. navigation through popup heavy games should be very fast.. :)
• Another personal preference, but It would be nice if the critical shots and slows had a different effect (sound or color).. adds more layer of 'growth' feeling, and rewards the player for buying and upgrading power ups and seeing them taking effect on the field..
• For the future, it would be nice to add a mechanic that could give the player some agency... after wave 15 I was mostly idling, sitting on my upgrades ... maybe something like placing a friendly unit on the field or a localized  AOE buff/debuff ...

Solid entry, I had fun with it! Congrats again on all the work! Hope you develop this more!! ✨💪😊

Awesome game! 
Love these types of genre games. Also, Maxed Sniper is OP :D

This game was so fun! Love tower defense games and just generally powerscaling so it was nice being able to save up enough gold to max everything out.
If you do intend on updating this game, I recommend maybe adding more depth to the connection system. Right now you can freely connect any gun to any upgrade as much as you'd want, but for example it could make sense if only a limited amount of guns could be connected to one node, or maybe connecting too many upgrades to one gun could cause negative synergies.

Game was alot of fun, loved upgrading and adding modifiers.! ty. changing guns was a little painful having to reconnect all the modifiers back up, but I got over it quickly.gg!

Great incremental tower defense! This is worth expanding into a bigger game, you have a really solid base here (no pun intended).

My only note is I would have liked a volume control for the background music.

This was a really fun and surprisingly addictive tower defense game!

I loved the idea of connecting modifiers to the guns and experimenting with different combinations. It's a clever interpretation of the jam theme, and watching a build slowly come together was very satisfying.

The progression loop kept me engaged the whole time. Every failed wave still felt rewarding because I could improve my setup, unlock upgrades, and come back stronger. Before I knew it, I had spent much longer playing than I originally planned.

I can definitely see why so many people are saying this has potential beyond the jam. The core gameplay is already solid and very enjoyable, and it feels like there are a lot of exciting directions you could take it in the future.

Also, it's always great to see another game made in Godot!

Great work, and congratulations on a very fun submission.

Fun and addictive game. I liked to tinker around after the wave and then let the machine roll when the waves come. One thing I would try to see how it plays is to have a limit on how many connections a gun can have. I think that would make it more strategic. And also make re-routing cables after a wave a thing. Great stuff though, I had fun playing it all to the end.

Had fun with this!! Would've played more, but i fully upgraded 3 snipers and the enemies were getting blown up off screen. This is a real fun concept tho! I imagine this being expanded out with a little stream lined iteration. If there were more enemy types, if the connections could happen with a single click and drag. And maybe the nodes themselves had cool downs, so you can connect 3 nodes to one gun but it only lasts like 10 seconds. And you see the energy surging between the node and the gun.  I think this could be a solid title i would actually pay for.

Am I doing this right?

I expected a regular tower defense type of game, and was a little surprised that to start out with I didn't appear to have any choices. I soon realized it's more of a grind and upgrade type of game, which at this point is a welcomed alternative.

I lost several times on Wave 3, and a couple on Wave 5. After that I'd gotten enough money to steamroll everything. By wave 18 I had everything fully upgraded.

As pictured, I didn't see a reason not to connect every gun to every upgrade. Is there some strategy that I was missing? Maybe having split shot on a sniper makes it less effective? Or connecting several guns to the same upgrade splits its advantages between them?

The sound of the guns became a bit repetitive after a bit, especially since they drown out the music when things get hectic.

This was nice fun while I still had unlocks to work toward!

Awesome take on the theme and a cool idea for a tower defense! Good job on the game!

Fun game and good execution. I think the strategy is a bit simplistic, needs some more flexibility or limits on the connections you can have.

I had a lot of fun with this, i felt sad i could only buy 3 guns though, and i might have missed something but it feels like the strat is always to connect all the upgrades with every gun? Is that possible?

Very fun game. Upon higher levels though some enemies have a lot of health and they don't die quickly even with so many upgrades, doesn't fail the wave though.

Super cool game. Took me a while to understand the connections without doing the tutorial, but it was fun to play this while you were there. The game looks good, plays fun and it's a nice look at Tower Defense mechanics.

Really fun game. Played it the longest this jam so far. :)

Nice submission. Only after wave 16 I realized that I can level up the upgrades :D so... big shout out for not punishing me (players) for a fails and not forcing to start all over after loses! I see how many different features could be implemented into the game so - there is developing potential.

Really fun game, I died around wave 14 I think but it was super enjoyable. Music fits nicely too, but I am a sucker for defence games like this. Thanks for making it! I just connect everything.
