I really love the idea of balancing cooldown with firepower, it makes for some really interesting decisions! Great job on your first ever jam submission!
Very nice tower defense game! It came on a little strong to begin with, very satisfying once you get through the first part. I really like the idea of having to collect the loot from dead enemies. Good job!
Nice game!
Nice game!
Tough start but a fun concept to adjust the tower cool-down to power them up or down!
Pretty fun! A bit of rebalancing is needed, though. Starting off the game is pretty brutal and then after the first rewind it becomes a cakewalk - and there's nothing to spend excess money on when all the turret slots are filled. The last stretch is satisfying though!
Interesting and fun game. I liked the decision making of needing to decide when to fold and rewind the current run. Kind of like an incremental game but different. I would've liked the ship hull UI to show the amount immediately though, as I needed that to know when to go to my next run. The dev's description on how to start off was very helpful. Oh also the minimalistic art + the font nicely set the tone of the game.
Nice game! A bit difficult, but it was fun to find out a good strategy. Pretty cool take on the theme of this year.
A bit of a steep learning curve, but there’s actually a pretty solid tower defense game here once you get it.
That being said it feels like you either need more defense options or a way to heal your ship as you can’t seem to last more than 30 seconds
Yeah i think the issue is I know how to beat it quite easily without even using the rewind, in hindsite could have just made easier for the jam. One idea i had was increase the time with healing or shooting all turrets at once.
Pretty cool looking visually. There was a lot of information to take in at first but once I got the hang of it it's a nice little defense game. I got absolutely wrecked every time, though, so either I just suck at these types of games or I never was able to find that perfect strat, lol. Nice job!
great tower defence game, I liked how challenging it was. It was fun to test which turrets were good to use, I found that the strategy was to buy lots of bullet turrets and a few collectors and lasers and setting them all to have the countdown of 3. Then I placed a few bomb turrets, and then won. Very fun game, worth the work you put in.
Nice
A bit of tutorialization would definitely help this one (I maaay have bugged the dev on a mutual discord we're in lol), but once you get the hang of it, it's good fun! It's visually simple in a good way, and the sound design is pleasant; so many jam games have ear-piercing sfx and an 8s music loop that makes me wanna cry, and this one has neither! For a first entry it's solid, no bugs or crashes or softlocks. I'm looking forward to future jams from ya ;)
very nice!
