Nice graphics, animations and music but the enemies are so slow it's boring :/

That tree is so ominous and awesome looking. Simple mechanic, but fun. I wish the knights started out a little faster.

The enemies running THAT slow was a bug we got in the last build :(
We fixed it and added a WebGL Build. You are welcome to give it another try :)

The concept is really nice but I can win by just holding my mouse down and aiming around a bit making it a bit too easy.

Graphics and audio are great! Game runs very smooth as well. Unfortunately it did get a bit repetitive. Also I would have loved if there was some kind of sound on hitting enemies.

Visually very nice, but missing quite a bit of juice (recommend watching this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fy0aCDmgnxg). great athmo, also you logo design is amazing

Nive overall art, too bad the special FX weren't in pixel art too :)

Awesome graphics and nice idea :)
I would suggest some improvements on difficulty (everything is too easy after getting lasers) and some indication that we hit the enemy

Got to wave 11, nice graphics. would be nice to have some different enemies and also an escape to pause setup. nice job.

Really liked the visuals, just think that the difficulty curve needs tweaking, it starts to become too easy at the end, all in all nice work though

Animations and graphics rocks! Good job! Some effect when you hit ennemies are missing I think. More feedback would be great but nice work!

Great graphic and bgm, but the same enemy tempo makes the game becomes boaring and easy as the tree keeps growing.

Dudes that was awesome! The pacing of the game was great. I loved the feel of the blood addictive tree when he gets stronger. The music too was on point getting em hyped to kill some knights. This inspires me man it's amazing what you can do with such a limited amount of time. definitely one of my favorite games for this entry. :)

Graphics are really nice and the shooting looks nice but the gameplay itself would do with a bit more than just shooting, maybe different attack types that you could variate between.

Great Graphics. But the pace is too slow. Most of time is simply waiting.

Great graphics and mood, but the game is a bit too easy and repetitive. That still a cool entry :) Congrats!

Nice graphics, starts a bit slow, but picks up quickly. Pretty easy though.

Really nice art & sound. But somehow if you run out of lives you can still continue the game...

Nice little game! :) The graphics are very cool, I would have loved to play more levels.

Maybe I didn't hear them, but the bats could use an audio cue when they die.

Very nice presentation! Something happened at lvl 12 and nothing more came.

Great art and mood! The music and tree sound effects work just great in conjunction to the stage of the game. And the tree looks so amazing in his final form :D

There are some nice suprises in the game, I totally didn't anticipate the melee attack. But the difficulty curve could use some tweaking, it feels a bit edgy sometimes and progression feels slow.

I expected more bass to the lasersound and I would have loved to start the attack (also the melee) myself instead of it being fired automatically. Or simply add a timer so that one knows when it's ready.

Anyway, good job!

That tree is cool, and the way it grows is a nice touch. Aiming feels a bit wrong, though, and the first attack seems quite dull and the hardest to hit with.

Simple, short, fun. Keep it up!

Great graphics, I enjoyed the tweens on the soldiers.

But the gameplay is completely lacking, you basically hold the button down and spam, and the aim's so random that you basically can't care much until they get close to you.

The big laser cannon? You don't even know when it's ready. But it probably doesn't matter too much, you just hold down and spam. Spam spam spam. The game really needs more variation to give skill a chance.

A nice tower defense-like game.

graphics are really good but game play was just me holding a mouse button down
