Defend the village of Norit. Point and shoot, buy your upgrades, and buy your victory (the villagers of Norit are horrible economists)screenie.png

This is my first Ludum Dare attempt. I definitely enjoyed this challenge and hope to be back in three months.

I really like this game. The continue mechanic where you retry with all your points and tech makes it a lot of fun to progress, and by the time you get all the upgrades it's really satisfying to play. It would greatly benefit from more polish/juice, and more length/progression but it's quite nice as it is :) Really nice job.

(Edit: Played on stream at https://www.twitch.tv/videos/139750250 - time 2:24:00 - You should really provide some feedback on other games to get more visibility, this game is worth sharing :) )

Lots of cool things going on in this game. Has that Rogue Legacy vibe since you can keep your upgrades from one round to another. I wish I could see the health remaining on my core better. I really liked that you were able to come up with a lot of different ugprades for my character - it was fun to purchase all of them. Getting split + lots of rapid fire + damage made me feel almost unstoppable but then so many enemies are spawning!

Gameplay felt really polished. I didn’t realize at first that all the shops had different items to sell, the game made much more sense after I got that. Maybe different sprites (or colors) for each shop would have helped. Otherwise great job for first entry!
