Even though I pretty much hate tower defence genre. Lovely art and music and puns in game names are always good in my books. Only visual thing that stuck to me was the lack of shading on knights and gnome on the actual game scene. Made them pop out (and not in a good way) from everything else that was more detailed. Another thing that lack the polish that otherwise was there was the health bars.\n\n![hg.png](\/\/\/raw\/1e4\/3\/z\/23cb9.png)\n\nThe balancing and overall progress flow were a bit off. The only way I was able to win was to just use 5 spiders on the first round and then completely drain the gnome. That with our savings from the first round are enough to bank a win. The traps were just too damn expensive to warrant their use. I see in the screenshot above that you had them as 60 at some point, seems more fair.\n\nThe lack of progress was also quite depressing. You lost all your buildings each round and the enemies didn't seen to get harder or increase in number the further it went at all. I was just pretty much stuck in a loop of all the blood I could make with traps was barely enough to make as much blood the next round.\n\nThe shopping cutscene looked nice but started to be a bit annoying after being in the fore mentioned loop for quite some while. Would be nice if it was skippable. The potion filling wrongfully played the sound on each click wether the previous one was done or not.\n\nAnyways, good job!","likes":3,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"Ioleoso","author_uid":"1146118","time":"2019-05-01T10:22:56Z","epoch":1556706176,"modified":1556706176,"text":"This game is amazing!

I died the first time around since you can get in a bad state if you spend too much in the beginning, but after that I was able to figure it out and save up enough money.
