Really nice minimalist art style and a solid gameplay mechanic! I especially liked that some of the hostile characters don’t actually target you, and I really enjoyed the way the game progresses. Nice job!
This one was super fun and difficult. I played a couple times but still couldn't win. I got really close though. I was on like day 0 with 11 hours left before I got overwhelmed. It might be nice if there was some specials like smart bombs or something to help when you start to get overwhelmed. Fantastic game though.
A great game that I really enjoyed—I can't get enough of it. I just think it strays a bit from the theme, but it's a great game—well done.
The sound effects are so satisfying and I love the visuals!
A very fun game! I had 2 days left to survive.
Really liked the animations, sound, UI, and gameplay.
I found myself wanting to pause the game to read what the updates do (maybe I missed how to do this) and also an indicator of when an upgrade is ready to buy.
Definitely a game I could see myself playing if developed after the jam.
Thanks for playing and for the helpful feedback. To answer your question, the UPGRADES button will pulse whenever an upgrade is ready to buy, and the same indicator happens when the next SUB is ready. Great catch regarding pausing to read the upgrades, though! You can press ESC to pause right now, but you're right that it doesn't let you open the upgrade menu. We'll definitely get that fixed in the next update :)
This is fun! I like the art style matched with the sound. Nice job!
I've been playing for 40 minutes now, and I'm not getting bored. Great design. The game brought me a sea of enjoyment:D Be sure to check out our project as well.
great game and visuals, the loop feels satisfying but i do find the scaling a little off. gets very hard very quickly i feel like a bit more of a reward in terms of buying power would be a nice balance
overall very nice game well done
Honestly, i think thats the best game i played so far during the gamejam. it's really fun to play, have very solid visuals, sound and fits in the theme perfectly. I just hope you get more rates by people.
Great game!
has a lot of potential! would dig it as a complete game with more options for upgrades and more narrative, but even now it's already nice. great job!
the green phosphor sonar look is spot on and the classified briefing sets it up nicely. everything being just dots on a scope you cant identify is a smart way into the theme, great game from scratch, nice job
I liked the visuals!
It's very complete to be made from scratch! I liked a lot the idea and the graphics. Maybe it can be more immersive if you used CRT postprocessing, but that is just a personal preference. Keep up the good work!
We are glad you enjoyed the game! It is a great idea to add post-processing effects, we will add it in the future update.
Very fun gameplay loop! The upgrades felt really good to get and I enjoyed the decision making on what upgrades to prioritise. I think it is very well made and I don't really have any criticisms.
Very complete game! love it.
games art and feeling is like old vectrex device from osciloscope - very nice game many options with uupgrades
Wow, really like the art style and the gameplay itself! This was goooood, enjoyed it til the end of my run. Good job!
Good game, didnt expect to see tower defense this jam but it fits nicely into the theme!
The game is really fun, and I like the art style as well. It's a bit hard, though. But it's still really fun!
The game was really fun and fast moving.
But, the shooting was a little slow comparing the attacks which were approaching really fast. That's one thing I felt.
And over the UI, audio and design were amazing Great work!!
Thanks for checking it out, we're so glad you liked the overall gameplay! The starting attack speed is actually slow by design, but once you unlock the Rapid Loader and Heavy Charges combo, it makes a huge difference and fixes the speed for you.
