Definitely the funniest concept I've played so far. I didn't quite catch the whole rock-paper-scissors system between all the animals, but I liked the mood and you get 5/5 in using the theme right ;) Good Luck!

Interesting tower defense style game. I never really caught on to the food chain, though.

Lovely moody gothic visuals and sound. The gameplay took a bit of figuring out but was all the more satisfying for that. Great fun!

I like how "your towers" eat weaker towers :D
You really have to manage and keep eye on everything in this game. It's unconventional approach to tower defence genre and i like it. Music and graphics are also very good.

Dem cats eat everything D:

Love the mechanics of the game and the execution/thematic are very enjoyable too. One of my favorite titles of an LD game ever for definitely.

Ha, that's a funny little game! Great job! I really like the interpretation of the jam theme and the "advanced tower defense" game mechanic is nice. After a couple of day/night cylces, the game got a bit monotonous (maybe also because of the slow music?). But all in all a great game, I also loved the graphics and the animations!!

Love the food chain system. It's a nice twist on the usual tower upgrade system. Nice work :)

The only thing I would add would maybe be some music during the controls screen after the speech audio plays.

Never seen a tower defense like this. Platform tower defenses are something new to me over the usual top-down versions. Great work!

Pretty cool idea to move animals around as defense! Mosquitoes blowing people up is pretty funny.
I think you could add some animations to the cats, it'll be a lot more funny.
Nice job!

It was a pretty funny game with great art and pretty good music. I liked the tower defense idea, although I got a little confused initially how the animals interact, but I got the hang of it eventually. The animations were really swish too! Great job.

Really great game! Platforming tower defense is something I haven't really seen. 5/5 on innovation :)

Nice variation on tower defense game. The tactice you have to use are very original and it is a great take on the theme of course.

Very good!
