Great job! I really like the low poly style, it confuses me a little that the walls and floor of the stage have a texture and the rest of the models do not, I think it would look great if the style is unified. With simple variations in tones or simple textures you can change a lot visually. The idea and mechanics of the game are simple but effective, great entry! xD

great Starship Troopers vibes, unfortuantely enemy AI doesnt work and after killing first bach of enemies no more are coming, would have been to have endless waves while you defend the towers, I liked the teleport mechanic very user aware.

Great game, great visuals and great sounds! I wish there was a bug kill effect instead of them just disappearing, but I understand the time constraints.

Simple, quick, and easy. That isn't a bad thing. I think the low-poly graphics work well, and the mechanics of the game are solid. I was a little disoriented at first--I thought the red screen was where bugs would appear (more like an arcade game). Then after looking around, I realized what I needed to do. Until it came to stepping on the waypoints. That also took a minute. A two-sentence explanation would have helped make that all clear from the beginning. Not a big deal, but an area for improvement. In any event, great work! It was a nice little game.

Nice shooting game. Took a bit to figure out why I kept losing after a minute into the game but then found that I had to defend the beacon in the sky instead of where I spawned. It would have been great if the enemies retargeted the player when attacked, but it was still fun to snipe them from far away.

Needs some power ups and maybe a wave mechanic, never really felt threatened as a player

Nice first person shooter game! :gun: I like it!!

For improvements, I think you need to add a wave system, maybe more towers to defend, more tiny creatures, but overall for Ludum Dare it's nice!

The basic idea is well taken. Gameplay is clear. UI is easy to use. Feedback is appropriate. Unfortunately, the sound feedback for bug attacks is missing. It would be easy to introduce different sounds for the different types.

Nice job. I have yet to make any 3D games so when I see this stuff it just makes me want to just in. Congrats on the game.
