I like how the tower defense gameplay is handled here by being more interactive and requiring you to walk around the level in order to place the traps, its a very interesting idea. it took me a bot to realize that I need to walk over the eyes for the cheaper traps to work.
the gameplay loop is fun and the difficulty is balanced
good entry I enjoyed it!
There is a bug in the multiplayer version, where if you zoom out and there are multiple players in the game, the camera will zoom back in and center between the players, instead of following your character..... and it's not great. 😅
I've cleaned up the game, fixed some bugs, reduce the volume of the music(And added a volume slider), and added a couple of things and put the game up on Newgrounds. I'll update the fixed up version on itch too, after the voting period for the jam is over.
I wasn't sure if there was any other buttons, but using the mouse scroll wheel at all on web version was not working out well for me. If had any other key inputs for that, it would be appreciated. Good luck on the post-jam version work, and good job overall!
