Jam ROM submission

Ok - understood! I attached the GBA ROM file as "MYGAMENAME_jam.gba".

Archival terms agreement

I agree!

The hum sound effect is created from a beehive sound, sourced from archive.org, originally from Botanischer Garten Oldenburg.

I referenced Emma Britton's gba_nonogram_advance project when implementing scenes.

Both of the above are detailed in LICENSE.md in the repository.

lovely game! i wish there was more levels (and also that the final boss wasn't so hard lol). also it would've been better to have selling price the same as buying price so that there wouldn't be penalty for trying things. overall great job! <3

Cool game, played a few times to beat the boss. Wish it was a bit longer. :)

Thanks! I'm glad you enjoyed it!

We wish it was longer, too, but  procrastinated a little too much to fit additional content in by the deadline (is there really any other way to approach a game jam xD). Definitely plenty of scrapped and shelved ideas for enemies and towers if we revisit the project in the future!

I realized I forgot to mention the Aseprite fonts we used (CC-BY-4.0), nor the agb rust library (MPL-2.0). I will add these to License.md in the repo this evening; should I modify our submission? I don't want to modify it after the deadline and risk disqualification :(
