Tower Defense games aren't really my thing. But the game had a few nice surprises (like the when the fire towers sprinkle fairy dust on the enemies to kill them, that was quite funny). =)

Nice game. =)

Unable to get it to work on MBP 2014 OSX 10.9.5.

Extracted .app file, launches then really quickly closes again

nice start for a TD.

Would have been nice to see the range of a tower when placing it. Tower diversity felt a bit lacking. Decent for being incomplete.

The game is different from the other entries which is good. Given the time to finish it it has potential. Also, the graphics were cool. A recommendation if it wasn't already planned was to have a representation of the tower instead of the Green Cube when placing towers.

Good on you for implementing a tower defense in LD. That's hard. I'm surprised you could get unit pathing up (I once tried and failed to do it.)

I'm surprised you didn't make a web version of this--in Unity it's as easy as changing the export to web player and then throwing the game online. You'd get more reviews if you did that (and you can still port after the submission period ends)

I liked this game but tower defense games bring me back :), good job

Fun game. You did a really good job on this!

This is sweet! I loved the premise, the visuals, and the gameplay! Only complaint is that it was a wee bit slow, but other than that, I dug it.

You should finish this after the jam!

Couldnt fully understand the controls, but its a good effort.

I quite enjoyed this mate. I feel like I want to see it as a full game now.

I really like your visuals a lot, the background was fantastic. I could really see the design that went into deciding the costs for things, which was cool. :) good job, hope you go back and finish!

Good core mechanics and models. Interesting premise. A few more turret or enemy types are needed to flesh out the game-play.

I don't think the isometric camera angle lends itself well to having a fixed camera. I felt restricted and unable to follow the action.

I found it unclear how much money I had to buy turrets with.

Good entry, tower mechanics were working fine. I would have like a 2x,4x speed modifier.

Nice Athmo, nice design. On the Gameplay-side it´s a little slow paced and lacks some gameplay and functionality. But nice work anyways

This sprinkles from FIRE towers that collect souls are totally awesome. Placing towers under the buttons are quite sad though

Really nice effort for the jam.

09. Dec 2014 · 01:56 UTC

Quite nice. You definetly feel that the game is incomplete, for example the difficulty of the waves grows too rapidly in my opninion. But considering that it's a game jam I think it is quite good. I must say I really liked the visual style of the game.

sad that you couldn't finish it as you wanted, but the game engine seems to work fine. Good job

Hey and thanks for all the input! there is a Web player now, but get the standalone for the best experience! :)

It's very hard to get a TD working in 72 hours. Nice start!

Tower Defence, meh, not a style of game I like to play.
Still nice graphics, it runs, but I can only place two fire towers? Buggy a bit. Sparkles to kill the enemy was kinda funny.

Game was great but, could've done something a little more creative then a tower defense.

Phyyl

09. Dec 2014 · 02:25 UTC

Good game, it doesn't have enough tower types in my opinion... at least 4 would be better! The knights get stuck sometimes too, leaving the game stuck because I couldn't buy another tower!

Pretty solid tower defense. I wish there were different enemies but good work.

FatKarate

09. Dec 2014 · 02:33 UTC

wave got instantly unbeatable and then horses turned into helicopters and game would not continue. Other then that tho good job!

This is a nice take on the Tower Defense! The only problem I have is that the game practically plays itself in the early waves.

Really cool game!

Give mine a try, http://ludumdare.com/compo/ludum-dare-31/?action=preview&uid=44154

Weird bug where some of the enemies start spinning in place. Game hangs since wave does not complete.

I had trouble placing towers, I Like the idea and the way it's been implemented. Good Job.

Pretty fun, with optimalization it could be great!

I like tower defense games and I wish I could make one (not in a jam/compo, just in general), I would have liked a speed up, as it took way too long some times, and I would have liked to only be able to build in certain spots, since playing on the web allowed for some mistake placements.

Looks great visually, but would definitely benefit from better sound. Great tower defense action. Good job!

GreenyUk

09. Dec 2014 · 16:40 UTC

It's clear that you ran thin on time, but what's there worked great. Gameplay is somewhat lacking with the limited towers etc, but I had fun with it for a while. Nice job :)

decent game, i think it lacked some challenge. Pros for completing though

Nice TD with some interestingg features. A good start. Can be improved. I think you should increase sound volume. I didn't heard anything. Thank you for this entry ++

Good graphics and nice entry. There should be an option to speed up the game :)

Overall its a nice game. Continue to flesh it out, polish it up and you got yourself a winner here.

awesome game! :D I love it

Very nice graphics and pretty cool that you managed to finish a relatively well working TD game in such a short time.
Only bad thing about this may be the controls, at least in the web version, as rightclick opens a context menu, so deselecting towers doesn't work all that well, and I ended up accidentally placing a tower beneath one of the buttons.
All things considered, great work!

NicePenguins

11. Dec 2014 · 01:28 UTC

The unanimated horses made me laugh :) (no irony)
This need more polishing and sound design, but good work though !

Pulsartronic

Nice but buggy ... some horses went crazy, giving circles on themselves, however, good job. Rated high on graphics

Another good tower defence game. It goes from easy to very hard quickly. The graphics are great. On the web version, right click also brings up the unity player menu and sometimes doesn't deselect the tower - I was accidentally building towers underneath the UI buttons at first.

Got to level 10 and a rider started doing doughnuts on a corner.. Thought the arena with the particle effects was brilliant. The audio could have been a bit louder, and I wasn't quite sure where I could place a tower or when. Second tower didnt work for some reason, but first was good enough anyway.. I played about 20 mins? :)

TaoPhoenix

26. Dec 2014 · 07:09 UTC

Yeah, good concept. I'm getting bugs where the souls get stuck spinning in circles. I managed to beat it once so far though.

TaoPhoenix

26. Dec 2014 · 08:40 UTC

Update: I have the pattern down now, I can beat it even past the bugs : )
