Toasted by JPatrick

[raw]
made by JPatrick for LD32 (COMPO)
Toasted is a tower defense where the towers don't shoot bullets or lasers. Instead they shoot house-hold objects.

Have you ever wondered how long you could stop 50 bad guys from reaching the other side of the level with a turret that shoots toasters? How about one that shoots spoons? Toasted allows you to answer this question

Includes 3 levels, and 4 different type of enemy, each new one more powerful than the last.

Very cool! Pink guys threw me for a loop when they went racing by! Not used to these games so took me a bit to upgrade my towers :-p

Awesome job!

Pretty cool game! :-) At first I wasn't expecting such fast moving enemies, but I soon upgraded my toaster towers to the max and built a huge swarm of them right at the start. Now the enemies don't stand a chance.

Well, this was fun!
I played it for some while on both the easy and hard modes:

[+] Well executed idea
[+] Fun to play
[+] Everything works well (targetting, enemy pathing)

[-] Balance is not very good, the game gets quite easy when you learn to play
* It's not too bad for such a limited time though
[-] Some minor issues with the UI
* Some hover states would be nice, or any other kind of visual feedback
[-] More sounds would be nice
* I only found two: When an enemy gets through and when you try to place a tower to an illegal spot
[-] The graphics are a little on the rough side
* Nice flowers though :)!

All in all, a nice little game.

Interesting idea, and while I was initially thrown off by the below average art, and lack of sound entirely, I was somewhat surprised that I continued to play for longer than I intended. Surprisingly fun, but the UI felt very clunky and unresponsive. The towers had a tendency to miss, which was frustrating but I got used to it eventually.

Nice Tower defense Game! Graphics were lacking something that the gameplay couldnt make up for. Still a solid entry!

I love tower defense games and I enjoyed playing yours. One thing I noticed was that if I was moving my mouse at all the game paused. I can see how this might have been intended but it was a bit annoying sometimes and if it WAS intended I didn't like it. Overall, though, I really liked it and you should be proud of your effort.

Fun game, although it's very challenging from the get-go and so it's easy to get frustrated early on.

This is quite a well done tower defence game. It plays well and the idea is pretty funny. The interface did feel a bit unresponsive at times and it would've been nice to have hotkeys for the towers. Some more spinning spoons and sounds of household objects bashing into things would've made it sillier too :)
