Prepare yourself for an epic adventure defending against the forces of evil in this new twist of classic tower defense. As the last warrior of the Barrelforge clan, Furry Beard-coin is the final bastion of the Dwarves, and the first in a new modern era of Dwarfare.
Create Gun Towers and Cannons to defend the Beard-coin home against impending waves of Orcs and Ogres, and see if you can prove yourself not only to your clan...but to yourself...
Furry Beard-coin - “You can run...you’ll just die tired…”
Have fun!

I like the idea of player as a defender. Nice graphics+audio. Is it possible to win this game? The entire map was visible before I died. Also, I really like how you used fog of war to the theme.
I wasn't able to beat it, but this was fun - I find that I usually enjoy tower defense those few times when there is direct avatar control. It makes it more manageable. I definitely would enjoy some new tower mechanics, I felt pretty limited by my choices in this demo. I'm also bad at tower defense, so I may have just wanted it to be easier, haha.
Tower repair would have been appreciated, but a nice concept with the map slowly expanding and the number of enemies to control gradually increasing, better than standard tower defense wave size increases with the multiple paths :)
I really liked how the map expanded as you went along (although I was confused as to why I couldn't move to explore the fog of war at first, maybe some barriers that lift as the map expands?) The main character's attack animation could definitely be snappier and happen sooner after clicking. Also could use some more ways to spend your money. Nice job overall! That red panda tail is mesmerizing!
Cool little game. I like the sanctum-esque idea and awesome dwarf theme, but it could use content, and the non-tower combat feels a bit lacking, both in terms of feel (hammer feels pretty small) and movement (feels slow) but it's pretty good.
I can't rate this game. :( When it starts, I don't see a character I can move (though I see everything else), and WASD does nothing. Playing in Firefox on Win7
Nice variation on the tower defense genre. I really liked how more of the map is eventually revealed as you progress (which fits into the jam theme). I do wish the hammer had some more uses other than whacking enemies (like being able to repair structures or make construction go faster) though.
Hi there. Like the idea of tower defence with running around. Think balance needs a bit of work, be nice to have tower upgrades and healing somehow. Nice sounds. Good job!
Revealing the map gradually was very cool, and the whole experience was very finely balanced (until I died, but I suppose that had to happen at some point). Pretty fun!
There was a bug where the player's rigidbody2d's gravity was turned on, and in some browsers/computers, it caused the player to fall off the screen before the player's scripting kicked in and took over movement. Since that meets pretty much the exact requirements of allowed bug fixes (a true that should have been a false, and had nothing to do with gameplay) I've fixed it. If you were unable to play the game before, you should now be able to!
@JJEvil The monsters focus is on the base. They know they have no chance if the try to battle the great Dwarven Red Panda! (Player doesn't have health. Enemies can only attack the base and the towers.)
Really nice take on the theme. I liked being able to kill the monsters like a tower. I found the G and C thing a bit confusing, instead of 1 and 2, I wish I could just push G and C. I Included it in part 11 of my Ludum Dare 31 compilation video series, if you would like to check it out :) http://youtu.be/09kdLS-s81I
Fun and beautiful game.
Good job!
May I ask some tower upgrade (and repair) and more ennemies?
