It Looks nice but I could not play it. When you press CTRL The game crashes (maybe a debug thing still in the game), The mouse sensitivity is 100000% so it very hard to aim. When I Shoot the bullet does not move.

I love the concept! The idea of building defences in First Person is nice - building is done pretty weel. Friendly AI didn't work for me. Too easy to just kill all the enemies by myself - they are slow and don't consider my movement when shooting - easy to dodge. Overall: nice concept, but needs more love :)

@timo-strating If I play the build on multiple machines, I can't reproduce these problems. ¯\\_(ツ)_/¯

its very fun and original. I also had the problem of the bullet that doesnt move when i shoot but only in higher waves, maybe is something related to the optimization of the game. The music is great but kinda tiring after a while maybe if it was a longer loop it'd be better. Anyway, great game, good job!

I like the idea of building walls, tower and etc to defend the transmitter from destroying. I had a lot of fun playing it :D

Very cool idea. It could use some polish but well done for a jam game. I had fun

Whew! Quite a long one for an LD game, might be that I just invested my points poorly and progressed slowly though :sweat_smile: Took me 23 minutes, but it was fun! There's just something about FPS tower defenses that does it for me. Especially the building mechanics on this one, very nice. Could've used a way to rotate the buildings, but otherwise, really cool.
