I wrote all the code

Fun game! The mechanics are of course very simplistic and I would have liked some sort of upgrade system / enemy variety / different towers / ...

There is definitely some potential here, it's giving me Vampire Survivors vibes already!

I especially liked the huge storm coming at the 2 minute mark, did not expect so many enemies coming at that point.

I'd appreciate if you checked out my game as well!

I like the art concept also the suprise in the end. I think the control was the challenge in this game since it's isometric. Also, I had a hard time to notice that the enemy was bird I thought it was snail XD.


Overall, I enjoyed playing the game and survived at my first trial. I'm looking forward for more games from you!

Submitted

This is really cool! It's a great idea and the gameplay is fun. I also like the art style a lot too. Nice work!

Submitted

Despite the game slowing down when there was a huge horde of enemies coming, I found the mix between somewhat of vampire survivor and tower defense really fun to play! Cool game!

Submitted

The ending caught me off guard. Started off thinking the game was pretty chill then saw a huge wave of them

Really interesting take, and well executed too.  Really cool how the game was able to keep up with so many stuff exploding


Amazing job! Looking forward to what you make next!

Developer

I'm glad. Thank you very much...!

Submitted

I think that you could have more waves not just one big one so you don't have to wait 2 minutes. Nice, fun game!!

Developer

That would be great! Thank you very much!

At first I though "Ha, there is barely any storm". Then so many of them came that it started lagging. It was chaos. Towers shooting, enemies chasing, can't even see my own character. I like it. I wish there was more strategic decisions though, like types of towers and perhaps different places to build (like an island surrounded by water and only a few bridges)

Developer

Great idea! Thank you for playing

The cardboard wizard is creative and cute. The game itself is simple: build and survive the enemies. Which is great but right now it's lacking something.
- The basic, The start menu.
- The player's hitbox and the enemy's hitbox look like it's not the same size, the player can just surround themselves with cardboard and wait for it to end. Which sounds unchallenging.  Either add more types of enemies that can destroy the cardboard, cardboard health, or both.
- Since it's isometric where I can deploy the cardboard is uncertain adding some indicator would be great.
- Some animation or sign of the player getting attacked.

Overall, it's a good prototype game. Keep it up!

Great idea! I'll make sure to refer to it. I think my game needs an indicator... Thank you so much!

Submitted

Its a very nice game which suddenly ramps up at the end.

Great work!

Developer

Thank you for playing!

Submitted

I love tower defence and your game’s difficulty ramped up in a fun and funny way! Seeing enemies explode was utterly satisfying, nice done!

Developer

thanks. I'm glad!  lol

The gameplay ramped up quickly, which kept things exciting! I enjoyed how the enemies exploded into bits, adding a nice touch of satisfaction. My only suggestion would be to tweak the sound levels a bit since it gets quite intense when the action picks up. Overall, a fun and solid tower defense!

Developer

Thank you for playing! I'm glad. I'll refer to the sound adjustment

Submitted

Lovely game! nice assets, fine gameplay, really like it. Suggestion, maybe lower a bit the sfx bus.

Developer

That's right, thank you for playing!

Submitted

It is a very good interesting  and fun game, it was awesome, I loved the graphics. Gameplay was fun I survived at first try, I guess it was easy :D . Graphics and Vfx were awesome, good job. controls are smooth and character has a good feeling, well arranged.

sugestions: choosing from diffferent towers to build can be added

Developer

Great idea! Thank you for playing!

An absolutely phenomenal game! The world is immersive, the mechanics are engaging, and every detail feels perfectly crafted. You should add some screenshots to submission page ;>

Developer

Thank you so much! How do I add screenshots? I couldn't because I didn't know how

when you click edit game on you game page. Not submission page but project page!

Thank you so much!

Woah, the last 30 seconds was pure madness. What a fun little game. I love how powerful you get in this, to the point that you can create tracks and barricades. It really makes for some interesting possibilities.  Very cool!

Developer

I heartily thank you.

Submitted

Nice game! The cardboard towers and the background look really good. It would be cool if there was some sort of incentive to explore to the edges of the map.

Developer

Great idea, thank you for playing!

Submitted

I ended up making a barricade around myself that the enemies couldn't get through and won easily lol. Neat game!

Developer

Awesome! Thank you!

Submitted

Nice game, I had fun!

Developer

Thank you so much

Submitted

Very fun game! I didn't expect the big waves of enemies near the end lol

Developer

Thank you! lol

Submitted

Was fun :) almost lost also haha. 
I guess it just lacks a bit more towers and a bit more enemies but it's a solid start.

Developer(+1)

Awesome! Thank you so much!
