Fantastic game, I enjoyed playing every second. The ideas are very unique and cool, and it's well balanced. Probably this game has the best gameplay experience / fun I've played so far. The graphics are exceptional, maybe one thing is the collapse button, would like a design on that as well.
Overall, a well-balanced and polished game, that's really fun!

Nice one!

The idea is pretty simple but effective. I had one Egg Boy who wouldn't throw any eggs after a while (?) but otherwise no issue.
The upgrades of people might be a bit expensive but overall a solid game. I went up to wave 11 before being overwhelmed by brown neighbors ^^

Strong entry overall. Congrats!

Very innovative take on the tower deffense genre :D The game has many features so you've done a great job in just a weekend. Character animations are very expressive and they really add life to the scene.

Wow!

Really great submission, one of my favorite so far. :)

Well, I lost at wave 14 after some luck and efforts. I love tower defense games and this one is kinda atypical in the theme / concept in a good way. It's quite addictive, the music is groovy and fits well with the theme by making you want to ♫ HA HA HA HA Stay aliiiiive ♫.

Didn't notice any real bug. Everything works pretty well. The egg thrower is a bit too powerful imo and the boombox guy a bit too slow, but it's balanced enough given the time you had and the variety of units. Maybe let the player sell the unit for full value when it's a bit unbalanced like it is now, it let's the play experiment with the different units and the synergy without worrying too much.

As for the graphics and the animation of entities, it's pretty nice.
The black screen at the start is a bit too long, at first I thought the game wouldn't load.^^"
Again, given the variety of units and the difference between what they do, it's a good job.

The SFX are also great and fun. The music is a really nice remix, well done on that part too.

Anyway, great job guy! I will play it again for sure. o/
(If you're hesitating about publishing a v2, don't hesitate and do it please! haha)

I think this was a really nice implementation of a tower defence game. Was so nice to not be in typical setting, and the way you incorporated the typical abilities into themed house party goers! The speed up ability was great too :)
