Good job anyway !

I was expecting more levels after the first, but other than that the game feels solid, with nice art and a fitting music choice.
Great job!
Placing Towers is free as far as i can tell and there is no way to upgrade them? There needs to be some game mechanic to keep the player involved. That's not a big problem because currently there is only one wave, but if you wanted to expand on it there needs to be something to do after the first placement.
The fade in/out transitions in the tutorial took quite a lot of time. Try to keep the duration of them to a minimum so they don't distract from the actual content.
Otherwise the graphics are good and the theme fits quite well.
Exceot these little things I had fun playing it even if it could have been a little bit more challenging. GG <3
The music loop has this gross "click" at (presumably) the point where it loops. Fortunately it's entire fixable, I've helped enough LDer's fix this problem I made a quick video about how to fix it

This was a great start to a tower defense game. I hope you keep working on it after the jam is finished.
The tower defense system works well, it just missing a win/spend money system to equilibrate the game.
Also add effects to make fire shot more juicy and more difference between towers.
Nice job.
Keep your brain alive is definitely one that I haven't seen yet, and a message that is all too relevant in our troubled times.
Would have nice to have more levels and enemies, and some kind of restriction on building towers, as well as some information on their trade off, but it's a nice start on a tower defense game, and has more interesting theming than most!
The towers could've been fleshed out more, as they just do the same thing (unless there's differences that I may have overlooked).
Still, nice job on the game.
More levels would be good, or just more waves of nonsense, but game jams are short...
