The idea is super cool and it's well executed, fun to play. Music is really groovy, nice. Gamepad doesn't work.

EDIT: Score would be nice.

Love the sound design, as a fellow tower defense creator this Jam I am happy to see more uses of that genre.
I like how you solved the 'issue' of people maybe not having a controller.

This game is very odd, in a good way! I don't think I have every played anything quite like it! Everything from the art to the music gives off a very different vide. I feel like I am in an Arcade in the 80's. Nicely done!

Oh god i fucking love that kind of games mixup with music like that, definitly the best concept i've seen here for now, it just looks infinite for now, and miss something like a score in the end, but if you do something like this in the future, please teeeell mee

I really loved the simple shape visuals, and synced game music so much. It vibes an old but gold atari games. My only feedback is, a simple score system would be nice. Overall I really like the game. Very nice entry.

Very nice concept, the adaptive audio is pretty nice and it works surprisingly well. It would be cool if it a bit more difficult, I could play 2 players and just sit there in the middle while occasionally picking up powerups. Overall a great entry!

Vibes are on point with this game, the synced music that progresses with your power ups is amazing, love the visuals, just wish the game was a bit harder

Nice little game, I liked the geometric graphics and I loved the athmospheric music (loved the fact that it grows in complexity as the game goes on, and that all SFXs seems to be in sync with it). Only drawbacks are the fact that it does not make a strong use of the theme, and that the difficulty does not raise quickly enough to make it feel you are always on the cusp of losing (at some point, I was able to just raise my hands from the keyboard, and no enemy was ever able to reach me). I did play for quite a while, though, which means the game is compelling enough to keep me going. Well done!

Really loved the generative music! The difficulty curve could've been a bit meaner but it's a neat game. Nice job!

Love the sound design. I'm almost hesitant to kill the yellow orb because it drops such a slapping beat :laughing:

Nice game, the upgrade system and increasing waves of enemies were very entertaining! liked the music and the visuals, too :) perhaps needs a bit of balance, but it was really good for a 48 hour project, gg!
