Theme explanation
You have to build your layers of defence by placing block on top of each other in layers (e.g. a healing block on top of a cannon, two cannons on top of each other to cover flying enemies).

Very cute game! It is a bit too easy, and also it feels a bit wasted that the turrets can’t shoot through blocks or other turrets. Same with the enemies - they kind of line up instead of all attacking at once. Overall though, it’s very cute, and VERY fun :D
I won! Fun little tower defense game, even if simple mechanically. Spritework was great too and the theme fits.
It was super fun ! I survived without too much problems but the bat surprised me at the beginning. It would be amazing to see more animals with different patterns !
I even managed to do a layer of bulls at one point because I put a lot of cannons next to their door so they got stacked. Was funny. Thanks for that game, beautifully done !
very fun!! i managed to get through all waves, though it got very stressful towards the end hahaha, playing the clock saved my butt
sooo cute! i played until the final wave and absolutely adored everything about your game. <3
Very zen game to play, made it to the end on the second try! The side-scrolling tower defense is a very interesting take. Only issue is it felt like the higher vertical levels were underutilized. Great work on this, love the vibe!
Thank you very much for playing! It's nice to hear that it was a semi-relaxing experience :) If I touch up on thr game maybe I could make the bats fly even higher ☆
What a fun take of a tower defense! I think it could've used a bit more depth, but there's only so much you can do in a jam. Well done!
i got too into just making the HIGHEST stack to be on top of everything but caught me just playing and playing, real cool gameplay and concept, loved it :3
Love this idea for a take on a tower defense game.
It took a bit to see the verticality with the enemies that make use of height that only appear after a few waves. I like the idea of the stacking blocks, but didn't see too much of the point of the wide level structure, especially when cannons couldn't shoot past each other. I think cannons shooting through each other and enemies climbing over each other would be small changes that would lead to some interesting scenarios and make building in the earlier levels more interesting.
Thank you for playing and your feedback! The range cannons in the front can actually shoot far across the level before enemies approach. I implemented the rabbit enemy type so they "jump" over other enemies and can hit blocks (they appear in wave 3). I've made note of cannons shooting past each other! I found it too chaotic when I was prototyping but it's worth re-considering ☆
cute game, nice animations, give the pig a laser gun for the 11th wave
This was a lovely game to play. The music and art were great!
Quite original for its genre ! You really have to think about the architecture of your structure be efficient. Well done !
Thank you so much for playing! I tried to make the placement of the blocks matter when eliminating different enemy types :)
Very fun game, had a really good time playing it!! I managed to win even though those bats were trying hard not to let me haha
Lovely art and sound design too!
Thank you very much for playing! Happy to hear you won ☆
Very fun concept. Would be nice to see what is the next block to be able to strategize more about the placement. Great job!
Thanks for playing! The right side bar does show you the next blocks, if you wait they appear. But if you place the blocks immediately you do get immediate support but it makes it harder to strategize :)
VERY FUN!!!
Lovely visuals, lovely sounds, the concept is great and the realisation is very good!
I won the last wave by a thread, hehe
The animals are ADORABLE
Thank you so much for playing! I'm glad you were able to win the game ^_^
