You are black licorice, a bitter and salty food who seeks revenge against the sweet-tasting candy people. Having previously corrupted several candy people, they are now at your disposable to carry out your deeds as you advance to the candy kingdom's capital and turn everyone into salty, foul candy.
This game is somewhat of a reverse tower defense where you control one mob and can send waves of other mobs towards your target, and the goal is to defeat the level using as few "waves" as possible. Unfortunately due to running out of time, the gameplay may or may not be completely unbalanced. We hope you still enjoy playing our sequel to our previous ludum dare entry!

This was a unique take on the tower defense genre. I personally don't like black licorice, so it was easy for me to see them as the monster.
I found it a little tricky to play, as the strategy seemed to be to bypass the towers and get to the end as quick as possible, otherwise the towers respawn. Overall, nicely done!
I liked the music, sound effects and graphics. The gameplay was also good, but I felt like it could have more features to destroy the enemy towers. Overall, good entry =)
Cool idea. Couldn't get past the first level, tho. Tried killing towers, but they respawn pretty fast. And I tried rushing the base but it kills me before I kill it. Funny idea having black licorice as the monster, and the sound/graphics work well with the idea.

Either way, this is a cool idea and I'll give you points for that.
