So, there is very little interest to move a tower once you placed it. Not a good thing when the initial idea is a tower defense where you can move a tower once it is placed.\n\nWe don't get more slime while we kill monsters. I placed all my towers at the beginning, then I just watched what happens. The current game mechanics does not invite you to do more things after the initial placement.\n\nThere is no progressive difficulty in the waves of monsters. It looked like all the type of monsters were all arriving at the same time. Usually, in that sort of games, you put easy monster at the beginning, and you add harder and more numerous monsters progressively.\n\nSorry, but it was not that fun, but I'm sure it could be with a little rework.

You could start with two or three simple enemies that come from different directions and move slowly. By guiding the player to defeat one enemy before moving on to the next, the player will have a better understanding of the core gameplay.\n\nIf you could add an economy system where the player earns resources by defeating enemies to unlock more types of slimes, it would greatly enhance the fun of the game. Yes, having too many different types of slimes at the start might confuse the player, but unlocking new types of slimes over time is always exciting. If you have enough design and art resources, you could even add interactions with enemy monsters, such as unlocking a corresponding slime type after defeating a new type of monster.\n\nI think to further explore the game\u2019s potential, you might want to consider placing the player\u2019s base in the center of the screen instead of at the bottom. By limiting the placement areas for slimes, you could encourage the player to constantly adjust and reposition slimes, rather than finding a perfect spot and no longer needing to move them (though, as a late-game reward, allowing players to do this could be an option).\n\nOverall, I believe this is a prototype with a lot of potential, and it could definitely be expanded into something even better in the future :)","format":"md","likes":0,"spam":"N"},{"id":1114612,"author_name":"Jhonny111","author_uid":"jhonny111","epoch":1729062958,"text":"I was a bit overwehlmed the first time i played, but it was a cool concept and with a bit more balancing i believe its going to be a great game.","format":"md","likes":0,"spam":"N"},{"id":1114914,"author_name":"Sasha20","author_uid":"sasha20","epoch":1729101718,"text":"It\u2019s a delightful mix of a well-executed theme and stunning visual aesthetics.
