A nice mix between tower defense and platformer game. I really wish there was some music, and if there was if it could be as nice as the graphics.. Because honestly good job for them. Everything is really nice looking, even the effects ^^

Nice work !

The game looks really cool. I just could not find the end of the game.
Is there any end ? How can I win it ?

Also, I agree with what @kanonix said.. Music and sound fx would be a huge improvement for this game... =)

Good work.

Reminds me of Warcraft3 custom maps =) Many of them where tower defense based

Awsome graphics and ok gameplay, I think a menu/intro and some sound effects would improve the game.

I got so stressed because I thought it was some kind of tower defense. After realizing that all I had to do was survive I actually had a lot of fun. Good job.

Oof, this was surprisingly hard... Problem with this game is that once you build your first tower, it seems to be better to stay close to it rather than run towards the enemies and take damage, and as the game progresses, reaching new areas to build more towers becomes harder due to the sheer number of enemies spawning. The small jump doesn't help, and having more or less one path to the upper levels really restricts movement. Still, the graphics are really nice! Lots of particle effects too, which sometimes confuse me as to what's going on...

Also, when you start a new game, the price doesn't reset back to the base 300, but stays the same price from the previous round. Might want to fix that. Otherwise, not a bad game, well done~

Pretty nice explosions. Also collision detection works nicely. Mouse left click was difficult to figure out from the controls, but reading your instructions helped with that. And it's a real platformer.

Thanks for all nice feedback! I would totally add a soundtrack and effects if we had more time to spend :P i do compose music usually for my jam games but time ran out. Also thanks @justinooncx for finding that bug with not resetting the costs. I don't have the time to fix it now but good for others to know! Last minute fixes strike again.. Thanks all!

Looks great and the platformer/tower defense mix feels pretty nice. Gets a little chaotic for my liking but that's probably just me... Anyway: Great job!

The game was pretty neat. You have a Bug in it, when you restart the game, the costs are still the same as in the old game.
I liked the Chaos in the Game. Maybe sometimes the enemies could drop something to replenish your healt.

Well Done

Beautiful graphics and effects, I loved the trail of his eyes. The colours also work very well. Too bad there is no music and sounds. The interface was a bit hard to understand, a lot of things going on!. Good job!

I played for a short time and enjoyed it! The screen is very small and busy but I like the art you did!

Great graphics, game was quite fun, didn't fit the theme too well and could use sound effects. Over all good job and I think you just got your 20th rating.
