Like using your mouse only to build a tower felt weird. Also you needed to just cut wood to have enough towers, I've sacrificed 3 people upgraded a tower, but it didn't really feel like that tower became more powerfull. He just shot more, but the enemies didn't die faster (if at all). So you should really look into the balance for the game. The idea is quite funny though!","likes":2,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"ElFunck","author_uid":"1132067","time":"2018-12-04T15:31:28Z","epoch":1543937488,"modified":1543937488,"text":"Good idea, need a little more of polish.\n\nWell done ;)","likes":1,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"rhewid","author_uid":"1074672","time":"2018-12-04T23:54:43Z","epoch":1543967683,"modified":1543967683,"text":"Had fun playing it.

Was probably more around 20 to 30 hours tops we actually spent. Just about got the enemies speeding up over time before uploading so yeah the  balance was all over the place @darkanice & @rhewid . Better time management for sure next time, but was a nice challenge getting what we had ready","likes":0,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"syRoK","author_uid":"1133787","time":"2018-12-11T22:51:32Z","epoch":1544568692,"modified":1544568692,"text":"Hello, a good tower defense, funny monsters, nice graphics, the only thing that I sometimes had failed to build towers.

I wish there was some sort of renewable resource somewhere, for instance villagers respawning or being recruited, or trees regrowing\u2026 I don\u2019t know, something to make the game a bit easier :sweat: I know how it\u2019s like doing balancing minutes before the jam deadline, so I can\u2019t blame you :grinning: \n\nOther than that, the graphics are nice. The controls, as mentioned above, are a bit weird: I think tower building is convoluted, maybe right-clicking anywhere could be enough to build a tower, instead of having to move the mouse all over the screen to reach that button.\n\nAnother suggestion: some kind of feedback about the critters\u2019 health may be nice. Also, I thought it could be funny and an interesting addition if the character could help hit critters, even if not very hard.","likes":1,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"folex70","author_uid":"1005915","time":"2018-12-13T21:39:53Z","epoch":1544737193,"modified":1544737193,"text":"good game! congratulations for this work!","likes":1,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"Denzil Gomes","author_uid":"1133246","time":"2018-12-19T21:35:49Z","epoch":1545255349,"modified":1545255349,"text":"@samh thanks for the great feedback.

I would like to see the stealth to be more integral, that could be interesting.  \nThe UI could use some work. It took me ages to realise how to actually build towers and having to grab the mouse is kinda akward. The game is also zoomed out too much IMO.
