Really enjoyable 'reverse' tower defence where you're more playing as the hoard. Looks gorgeous as well, maybe some accessibility options to reduce screen motion would be nice but overall it was really fun!

probably one of my favourite games from this jam! I LOVED the art style it feels so immersive I can't explain it. However i do have a complaint on balancing as it felt my units were instantly wiped half the time and also a feature to pan across the map would be nice i was trying to see if there was but maybe I wasn't able to figure it out, but i love the idea and the execution og the game! 

It didn't load for me. The theme page was nice tho. Looked very retro.

The art is really great and the music goes along with it well.

I think you aren't doing a service to the art with the lighting (Or maybe it's post-processing), it seems to wash out the art a bit (I remember seeing you post in the discord with the art assets and they looked quite different). Perhaps the contrast is too high?

The tutorial was quick enough, glad I got to place units fairly quick. The "Run Sim" idea is a bit weird for what is basically a tower defense, but I understood after that that it's really more of a tower defense simulator.

It felt bad that the heroes were attacking my units even though they were so far from them. It would be nice if that was communicated better (I figured if I placed them with enough range from the hero's path they wouldn't be reachable).

The traps were super cool, I loved that I could place the spear wall on top of the existing walls. I was a bit confused when the flame traps seemed to only be one-use, would be nice for things to be less disposable. At a certain point (the wizard and rogue were half-way thru), I was feeling like I should be either getting more mana or being able to upgrade my units. I had four units unlocked at that point and it didn't feel like it mattered much which one I placed down.

Overall: Awesome idea and execution! I think a "turn-based dungeon defense" is a cool idea that I would maybe play. There just needs to be some more thought put into the units. Personally I wouldn't play more because the units had no real "growth" or permanency to them, they all just felt disposable which wasn't as interesting.

The design of the game feels very cool and great. My only concern is why are the units I place down being one shotted. I barely have enough gold to even use something new and when I do wait for it. That one also gets one shotted without doing much to the heroes. Is this intentional by design? Though I think it has a great potential once that is clarified.
Looking forwards to seeing future builds of this if its development is continued!

Such a cool game!! Art style is top notch, and I didn't mind the CRT filter at all everything's pretty readable :D
I would've liked to see some kind of story or perhaps a small ending/conclusion for the game? Anyway it was a nice concept, being the dungeon master is interesting although the dungeon itself is quite big compared to what you can actually place during a round. Nice work!

Interesting tower-defence like game. I like the "guard your treasure from heroes" premise.

I felt kind of overwhelmed by the character and trap stats and to be honest I am not sure if I understand them even after few playthroughs. The fact that my minions (towers) have health is interesting, but it made them feel "weak". Especially when my archer was dying fighting a hero that doesn't really looked like ranged unit.

Overall the game felt difficult to me. I would like to start with some easier vawes to give a player space to learn what your units does.

Honestly - I think the biggest downer for me is the CRT filter on the top - in combination with small font it hurt my eyes to read, which is bummer in a game where the text is important. Making it optional in settings would be a great improvement.

Pixelart assets themself are really nice.

Tiny thing: Music slider in options has weird range from "nothing" up to half of the slider to "argh, my ears!" on very right. It also seems to be not saved between scenes.

Regardless all of my critique, the game core works and I see a lot of potential in it. Good job!
