LaserDefense

Nice Game. I ended up pushing left and right all the time. Maybe every canon needs a power bar that must be charged, so that you stay longer at one canon.

Great game, I like it. It would be better though if there was a sound played when you get hit by a rocket.

Quite a fun and solid game with a unique game mechanic. I wouldnt mind some more graphical elements to keep the view interesting, and maybe some feedback about the individual turrets power for easier resupplies.

I like the idea overall, it was a bit confusing at first and the sound was a bit too loud. I liked it though!

It is ok. But maybe by changing the laser sound, adding music and maybe add the possiblity tu change the turret shooting direction should improve the game :) The concept is good, but need some polishing.

I'm going to leave some constructive criticism here.

I didn't feel like I was doing anything because my lasers seemed to be going off by themselves. Maybe add some kind of energy level for the lasers. Sometimes the lasers weren't fast enough to shoot the amount of guys coming in and I had no way to stop it. I really loved the graphics and that the robot shoots little energy waves when it is charging the turrets. Lastly, my quit button did not function. (Was that intentional? ;) ) Very fun and interesting game, I just don't feel like there is a lot of interaction with it.

Standard Tower Defense with a twist... Not bad! :)

I like the idea and it has potential. But I think it needs more interaction from the player.
Good work!

Thanks for all the feedback, there was a lot more I wanted to do, but I didn't put in enough time on sat, so had to scrap some things.

The small "lines" behind the turrets are supposed to light up the more power the cannons have. That probably isn't clear enough.

Had some issues with sound and explosions when the rockets hit so had to remove it. I'll add it in a later version for sure.

To bad I forgot to test the quit button properly.

I agree with everything said above. I'll update the description a bit as well.

I'll keep improving it post LD :)

The mechanics are very special: you have to charge the lasers and let them fire at the enemies - really innovative. I would really like to see the fully charged lasers become aggressive and fusillade the enemies. Nice idea and interesting game!

Really cool idea. I wish there was audio though. Would have been awesome hearing the lazer guns. Looks promising though.

When I first started the game all cannons fired at the same time and produced a very loud sound, I was quite startled. Anyway.

There were a few things I didn't like that much:
- It is very hard to see how much a cannon is charged (there is this glowy thingy, but that is hard to see)
- I didn't quite get what I'm supposed to do. I just walked around so that each cannon was visited from time to time and they all shot once a rocket came. I didn't really see a connection between my actions and cannnons shooting down rockets
- Sometimes a cannon wouldn't shoot even though I was standing right next to it
- The cannon sound got a bit annoying after some time

Is there a better strategy than just to walk from left to right and back?

I think it could be a very interesting game idea if implemented with more time (or maybe if I better understood how to play it?).

@smbe19 thanks for the criticism.

I would have like to do more with it myself.

Not sure if the best strategy is to keep the cannons charged all the time, or save some power early on. I think the way I increase the waves, it doesn't make much difference, but if I balanced it a bit, maybe it would be better to use fewer cannons early on, and charge them all later.

Got to 1730 score. Later it seems that too many rockets are comming and I end up with 5 hitting me in a row. Idea of not shooting yourself, but charging shooters is nice, but I'd like to feel like I have more impact on the game.

Strangely I liked the minimal art of this game. The laser are so hypnotizing.

You can opt out of humor if your game doesn't have any jokes, so that doesn't effect your final score. Also, about the game, the player should have more control over the game. Just repairing the cannons doesn't require skill nor thinking, so the player might get bored and feel they don't really affect the game. Awesome for your first time, though, keep it up ;)

@peredom thanks.

Nice game. There is room for improvments, additional features (pay energy to change cannon type etc.)
I played HTML version - sometimes cannons didn't rotate to rockets was that intentional ?
I got 1280 score.

@jackkm It was intended for them not to rotate all the way, but I messed it up. They should rotate a bit more. Have that changed in a local version that will be posted post-LD
