Really nice game 4.5/5
Looking at his teammates sacrifice of heart
About the follow-up development a little advice: Make soldiers like nintendo's Advance Wars personality is distinct, For players according to the configuration of the tower with limited money to configure the arms

Nice game overall, took me a while to understand what I'm trying to achieve and how, but I got it in the end. The graphics especially are really nice.

And love the insurance idea to explain TD!

Good game - would love to see more anti tower defense games (please bring it to mobile with more levels). The graphics and sound were really nice too

@haneton This on mobile would be awesome ^^
the bug i encounter was a single shield troop getting shot to many times by the secound crossbow tower so it got pushed out of the map and the game at this point was softlocked but this happend a few times with diffrent units.

I loved the aesthetics and how the music just seemed to pick right back off between waves.

I hit a bug after about 6 waves where all my guys died, but the music didn't stop and I was never able to buy again. I'm not sure exactly what happened, but I had to restart.

I think that this is great for a short playthrough. I think the concept is really funny and it was well executed, but the game loop would get repetitive after a level or two. I think for the jam this is great.

I love how much personality this game has! I'm not quite sure how the music works, but it definitely felt like it was dynamic based on what units I sent out to their deaths. Nice touch!

I did hit one bug where I sent out a shield guy and a couple of small goblins. After the small goblins died, I got the cymbal crash notifying me the level was over, but my shield goblin was still troopin' along. After HE died, the gate was stuck open and I had to restart the game to try it again.

It's been a while since I've played a Tower Defense game, but I like this little subversion where you play as the enemies. :) Nice job!

Really really nice game, loved it! Amazing art both graphics and sounds/music.

Very satisfying to profit off of your gobelin's death to build a bigger and bigger army :smiling_imp:

I did run into the bug where you get the cymbal crash but still have units in the wave, looks like it happens when you mix gobelins and other units, as soon as all gobelins die the wave is considered over maybe ?

Absolutely love the art and color palette for this game! Music is super fun too! I almost always turn off game sound effects, but this was worth leaving the volume on!

Really charming game, I loved the sync between the music and the game itself. Really good adaptation of the theme and the gobelins were super cute. I loved it!

Super cool twist on the tower defense genre. Could use a touch more animation, a few extra effects, and some more balance, but it was quite enjoyable. :)

Here's my play: https://www.twitch.tv/videos/345392409?t=03h37m45s
