I really like the stickman fighting game aesthetic to the art, it reminds me of classic newgrounds games. Definitely missing the core gameplay loop here, but this is a nice start.

I really like the art, however i didn't really know what to do at the beginning

A great concept for a tower defense, would love to see it expanded on in the future. Could also use a better explanation of what to do but otherwise a great entry especially for a solo dev!

tower defense on a train is a cool idea

I didn't fully understand the economy / what was going on in the defense phase, but had a couple rounds where I got to build a bunch of turrets which was exciting!

There's a lot of weak spots with the game currently, the economy works at an on kill basis, every enemy drops a specific amount of gears where each gear is worth 10 as you can see in your total in the top left. Repairing is a 10 for 10 system. You heal a tower 10hp for 10. Otherwise you can see the amount that each tower costs in the blueprint menu! Thank you for playing!

Super cool little game! The artwork is really charming, you really nailed the cute pixel art style!The gameplay is also interesting, going on the roof to change wagons works well. I think the game needs some polish on how it's played and what i shown. i had some trouble understanding without reading the descrition (a prompt above the signs to build, and an indication of the health of the turrets could have helped a little bit.)
I also feel a little bit "defenseless"during the defense phase (quite a pun x) because I though I could fight back using my wrench. Also a little offset of enemies sprite could help to "read" how many enemies are stack on each others) 
Cool little game, you did a great job!
