I enjoyed this, but i would have enjoyed it a lot more if i wasnt stuck on WASD controls on a AZERTY keyboard.
Good job though , loved it

Great game. I'm missing one thing: some health indicator.

This works as a game, reminds me of old flash games I used to play

The smacking sounds are really nice. Cool take on tower defense. I wish there was a volume control for the music. Well done. Cheers!

I enjoyed the game, but I was a little confused about what everything did. A health indicator for all the elements would have helped a lot as well as an indication of how much everything costs.

I liked the animations and how all the game played. This was a lot of fun!

Neat little game! It's a little hard to spam the space bar while using WASD. and it would have been nice to have some indication of how much health you have left.

Enjoyed it quite a bit. I agree with @kilosaurus reminded me a lot of old games I played. I liked the concept of the game, good mashup of existing game mechanics. The music fit well with the theme of being a mobster. :thumbsup:

At first I thought it was a bit easy, but the difficulty ramped up nicely and it got frantic. I like the simple graphics - especially the characters are great! Nice music theme as well.

Some more tactics and more of a sense of when you're doing good or bad would be cool - I mainly just started placing "towers" randomly after a while.

I really like the idea here. The graphics are nice, the music sets the mood, and it looks cool when your whole line of guys crashes into the enemies. Personally engaging in combat didn't feel so good, though, as it was tricky to fight without getting hit and the lack of a health indicator made every fight feel like flirting with death. It would also be nice to have cost indicators for the player units instead of having to determine them empirically. Still, it's always fun to see strategy games in LD. Good work!

I enjoyed this game, the graphics are pleasing to the eye and the controls felt really smooth. Loved the sound effects. To add to others yes, add a health bar, and maybe eventually a big boss!

Cool game, It took me some time until figuring out how to place the towers :P

Great work! I kept dieing without knowing why. I also felt a bit slow. 👍
