Like I mentioned to you, I have a weird infatuation for how smooth the cones look when they turn. Also, really applaud the inclusion of a tutorial. I probably could have figured out the mechanics, but that definitely makes getting into it easier. Good work!"},{"author_name":"Andrio","author_uid":"20219","time":"Aug 26, 2013 @ 4:14am","epoch":1377490140,"text":"A nice, simple tower defence, not bad for 48 hours! Doesn't really do an effective job of relating back to the theme, although I understand how it does. Good humour ;)"},{"author_name":"Simulacrum","author_uid":"26528","time":"Aug 26, 2013 @ 4:23am","epoch":1377490680,"text":"Fun game, everything looks and feels very smooth.  The mouse-over coins adds a nice touch to the Tower-Defense format."},{"author_name":"DavidBittner","author_uid":"26073","time":"Aug 26, 2013 @ 4:25am","epoch":1377490800,"text":"Good game! Pretty tense to be honest, collecting all of them coins and clicking on all of them cones!

Kudos for taking on the Tower Defence challenge, and I thought you did great on the art and music. It was first-time music-making for me too, so I feel your pain! You did a great job though.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>I liked the theme addition. It was a bit easy to simply reset the same few towers over and over, but I still think it worked out well!"},{"author_name":"SasoriDama","author_uid":"14810","time":"Aug 26, 2013 @ 4:01pm","epoch":1377532560,"text":"Nice job. It feels like solid tower defense and the winding paths made strategic placement fun. I don't think my desert resets were working though."},{"author_name":"mutuware","author_uid":"14635","time":"Aug 26, 2013 @ 5:26pm","epoch":1377537660,"text":"They ate my cake!  \r<br\/>Nicely done game."},{"author_name":"Jacic","author_uid":"5267","time":"Aug 26, 2013 @ 11:37pm","epoch":1377559920,"text":"I really like the dessert theme!

This is a really well implemented tower defense game, I like how you have the set path so you can maximise the efficiency of your &quot;turrets&quot;. At first I was using one turret and a toffee trap at spawn, but then I got overzealous and put a few things down, completely wasted my funds. They managed to get close to base, but never in! Nice one."},{"author_name":"pikkufighter","author_uid":"21682","time":"Aug 27, 2013 @ 11:33am","epoch":1377602880,"text":"fun game indeed only thing i wish for is that you would have a image following your mouse when you have selected a dessert to place."},{"author_name":"Shugor","author_uid":"14284","time":"Aug 27, 2013 @ 8:40pm","epoch":1377635700,"text":"Everything is pretty smooth, and the graphics and music are pretty decent for not being an artist\/musician. Although, the paths made it feel more repetitive, making it so all you had to do was babysit the entrances."},{"author_name":"Folis","author_uid":"2494","time":"Aug 27, 2013 @ 10:28pm","epoch":1377642180,"text":"Very interesting take on the theme! And it's quite thrilling too, as you have to watch out for your defenses, unlike in a regular TD. \r<br\/>\r<br\/>Overall a very good job for your first LD! :)"},{"author_name":"SamuelDivinium","author_uid":"24251","time":"Aug 28, 2013 @ 7:59am","epoch":1377676440,"text":"Pretty nice tower defense game, and a decent entry.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>BUT the repetitive music segment was killing me! :("},{"author_name":"folmerkelly","author_uid":"15353","time":"Aug 28, 2013 @ 10:21am","epoch":1377684960,"text":"Well done for a jam game, no doubt about it.
