This is amazing, simply amazing! A very beautiful and unique tower defense game, enjoyed it very much!!
Very fun game!
Scoperto grazie al Prof. Toniolo, da amante dei tower defense sono rimasto molto colpito dall'utilizzo soltanto del mouse per spostare la lanterna e colpire così i nemici, ottima idea! Il gioco è super polished, non mi sorprenderebbe vederlo sempre più ampliato con una bella uscita su Steam, te lo auguro!
Grazie mille! Le idee per ampliarlo non mancano, il problema è come sempre il tempo! 😅
Ti capisco fin troppo :')
love it
Thanks! ❤️
very fun and i love the art direction. the synergies idea is very cool. slug fly combo is really strong.
I'm glad you had fun! Thank you so much for playing!
this game is nuts! Different synergies offer a vary and unique gameplay every time you play. Each run is different, and the cute story adds that final touch to create a perfectly enjoyable and fine experience. Congratz to all the artists involved in the project, and hopefully we'll see more coming in the future. 🔥🔥🔥
❤️❤️❤️
If this is your first game then I must say it's pretty good! The gameplay is satisfying and does provide some challenges in harder difficulties (I lost 4 times in the last difficulty lol), the artstyle is top notch and the game has great sound designs, if only there were different tracks for each mode instead of hearing the same theme looping the whole time, I kinda got confused/lazy with the synergies in late game, but it's still amazing after all, what's more important is no bugs or glitches whatsoever. I also made a playthrough video, hope more people will find your game soon, and hope you will make more games with this artstyle also.
Thank you so much for your precious feedback and for the playthrough video! I appreciate it a lot, seriously. ❤️
This game is so good and well structured I can't believe it's free. The attention to details is crazy, the story is adorable and the original, catchy soundtrack is already stuck in my head. Kudos
❤️❤️❤️
