This is a really good game! Its well polished and has simple but fun mechanics. The theme is integrated nicely and the sounds+music are super juicy. The only critique that I have is that the bullets for the towers look a little bland also the game idea lacks a bit of uniqueness so maybe add a unique mechanic or something like that. Overall I give it a 5/5 of course this does not mean it was perfect no games are perfect.
Really well made game. Good sfx and fun to play. It was acctually really relaxing to play as well. In a full game there coul'd be other kinds of towers to place that all don't just follow a linear progression. That would add another layer of tactics to the gameplay. At the moment it feels a bit like a mix of a tower defence game and an idle game. If the choice of towers presented a choice to the player it would make it a fully fledged tower defence game. Maybe a slight enemy variety could help too, but that would be more of a last thought.
The music was also really good, tho i already know that fatal knows his shit.
Overall the game was really good. Good luck further on.
Awesome work man :) ! After watching your making of video I was looking forward to trying this out !
Visuals are simple and nice and the music/sound effects are really neat. I didn't feel like there was that much strategy involved for the gameplay, it was mostly just wait until I have enough coins and place a turret, so I got to wave 8 or so I believe without any real challenge. But still, it was a pretty relaxing experience, one that fits very nicely with the theme of the jam.
So yeah all in all well done and keep it up :) !
Classical pixel graphics style with the 8-bit audio. Also Nice the tower defense type game mode which makes me reminds many faviorates game in my childhood. Very nice UI design and the HP bar. One recommendation for you is that you can improve your tower difference not most of the towers are shoot projectiles. That's would be looks diversity in your universe game. But it cannot deny you have build the based game and gets high rates.
Hey,
your game was very much fun to play and it was addictive too. The start screen was also cool and the art was cool too.
Fun little tower defense! Although I personally feel like it's a bit too easy, even in speed 3. I got to wave 21 but then all the turrets started shooting at the right of the screen and couldn't proceed to the next wave. But overall, good job!
Managed to get to wave 20 before dying. I liked the music and sound effects. Cool game!
I love this! Took me a few tries but I finished it! The visuals and sounds are excellent. The gameplay in a weird way was relaxing, which was pretty nice to see for a game of this type.
I do wish there were a few more types of turrets, and the game did get stuck one time while I was playing (wave 3, turrets just kept shooting offscreen to the right). Aside from that, excellent work!
This is a really cool little game. But at stage 27-29 I lost some life even though every turret was maxed.

This is a really cool and relaxing game! All colors, sounds, particles match perfectly with the style. Waves are challenging but fair once you get powerful upgrades.
Overall it's very satisfying game to play, good job!
Be sure to rate my game and leave some feedback too :)

Hey there, sorry it took me so long to get around to playing your game, was working with my team for the EC jam. I won the game (made it to wave 30) first time (I had played your previous test versions though) I had maxed out my towers by maybe wave 24-25. Overall I thought it was a great game and I'm glad I could contribute music to it for the jam. One thing I'd recommend you do before the jam is over is make a .zip version of your game ( I have 7-zip but I doubt everyone does.) Hope my comment helps you out! Thanks for sending me a link to the finished game :D
