Tower Rancher is pet sim, tower defense game!

Adopt a young tower and improve its stats with various training minigames. After 10 days send it valiantly into battle as it defends the village against hordes of baddies looking to do harm!

If your first tower doesn't succeed, don't worry! You'll be able to raise four more to help it fight, before the oldest one needs to be replaced.

This game was a lot of fun. It was very polished from start to finish, and quite balanced in terms of difficulty. I would definitely be interested in playing a full version. The graphics, sound, and theme all complemented each other quite well. Good work

Fantastic job! I honestly think this is an improvement to tower defense as a genre. ;)

I had a really fun time, I noticed if I pressed space bar for range training it would auto win on start.

Definitely the most adorable tower defense *I've* ever played. My tower's name is Tori and she is a very good girl.

What's this?! A game where I can power level my tower'mon to smash the enemy flat? I'll take two! I had a lot of fun playing this game. Good music that took me back to my days playing game boy late at night smashing team Rocket's groin in. The idea of building up your tower was an interesting idea, and a good use of the theme.

Some of the mechanics need tweeked though, I was able to win with only two towers and one of them did all the work. The speed upgrade is unreal. I had one tower doing something like 8 dmg attacking 0.75 times per second, and the second tower had a damage of 2 and attacked something like 6 times per second. It wa almost 3x the damage output.

Overall it was a great entry and I really enjoyed it. Short but sweet. Great job!

Good job the game was great how ever it was a little easy i finished the game with only two towers i think it would be good to keep making it better with more levels, you could have it going real time so you could be training new towers while the battle was still going.

The Game is really nice, but I accidentally skipped text in the Attack Training.

Nice entry! Funny game and theme. The idea to pet the towers is very nice, minigames are simple yet funny. Congratulations.

This game is amazing! Really, there is not a thing I don't love about this idea and implementation! It's weird how attached you can get to buildings made of stone :D
We send you lots of love and a fish
