I am in love with the artstyle!!! 

Submitted

Such a cute entry 10/10 amazing!

Submitted

Very cute game, loved the art! Well done team :)

Really love the artwork! 10/10!!!

Submitted

Definitely one of the most creative uses of the theme, really liked it! I got sucked in to 3 or 4 runs and each time survived a little bit longer.

Submitted

The art is so cute!!

Submitted

I became really invested in this and played for a while! The sweet intro and hand drawn elements were a very nice touch hehe. Despite playing several tower defense style games, there was something surprisingly engaging/stressful about this (maybe since it was quite a short amount of time to make all your moves?) A restart button could have been helpful in runs where I felt I immediately made a mistake, and had to refresh the page to start playing again quicker. I think there was a small bug where the turrets kept firing after they were destroyed. But I had a really great time with this, thank you Punch First team! :)

GOATED GAME

Probably the best art i have seen

Submitted

The art is so good !! I love it so much ! I really wanted to retry each time so I could do better. Congrats !

Submitted

Great use of the theme, gave me a good laugh (I totally underestimated just how many enemies we would have!), fantastic art style!

Submitted

This is so cool but it broke a little or I'm just too stupid to build stuff in time. I still gave it a great rating though because I'm sure it's probably just me.

Submitted

The paper art style is so adorable! I didn’t know whether I was supposed to make it all the way through the night or if it was just to last as long as possible, but that could be a skill issue. Loved the remixed day theme at night too!

Submitted

This art style is very charming! I think this captures a really clear vision well. You have a day to produce your city and a day to defend it. Nice use of the theme!

Really cool concept! I couldn't not play a game about my city lmao. It's a surprisingly deep game, the mechanics seem simple and the infinite resources might trick you into thinking it would be simple to defend the colosseum, but the timer needed to place units really makes you think about priorities. Good job!

Submitted

I think it wouldn't be fair if this game won't be featured or at least get honourable mention. Amazing idea and fantastic artstyle. Kudos!

Submitted

Genius idea and excellent art, controls could do with some more explaining potentially as I had trouble with the roads

I love love love this so much! I can see myself getting lost in this game, I played for an hour trying to beat it/beat my own high score. I also enjoyed the fun of the trial and error cycle of losing, and improving on that lost. The art style, and the audio were sooo well done, was impressed with how detailed the instructions were, many other games I had to figure out controls on my own, but they had a whole section with everything already answered and written out. SO good!

Submitted

Cool artwork, and I ended up playing for a while because I wanted to beat it. I wasn’t sure if the game was endless or if I was missing an ending, though.

I ADORE this artstyle.
