Great game :D x
It was very easy to get stuck on stones and trees on the beginning, but the more I played the more i grasped the idea. It seems that unless i visited city across bridge i wasn't able to swim, that actually nice thing, that different cities make you better in different ways, but it may be good idea to hint visually what they will help you with.
The most annoying thing were all the collisions and getting stuck behind a tree. A real keep would not even slow down for a tree :(
Theming was on point. 5.0
graphics were cute :)
Audio was good, created a good mood.
I thought the tower morphing and gaining abilities was really cool and innovative :)
Great take on the theme, looking forward to more by you in the future!
Your graphics are really beautiful and the taking paths that block the barbarian horde is fun.
I felt like the hitboxes where a little bit janky and unpredictable. Actually I feel like the game could have been better as a full-on 2D game instead of 2.5D
It would have been nice if the gameplay evolved a bit while picking up piece instead of the binary situation fleeing/winning. For example with different part allowing differents paths or other types of power-ups to fend of the barbarians. But I guess that it would have been too much for the scope of a jam.
All in all, extremely well done, good job !
Edit : actually reading the comments I saw that the different parts DO give power ups. Then... it was not really clear for me, there should be something telling you this more clearly I feel
A little bit more explanations, would have made the game even more lovely.
