Once upon a time, in a land far away, there lived a princess. She dreamed of ruling over her kingdom in peace and quiet. While she was very much considering whether a pet unicorn was in her future, she was ABSOLUTELY NOT considering marrying a prince. But still the princes came. They came in droves! It annoyed the princess endlessly until she decided to put an end to it once and for all.

Good game, I really like the art and music but it's kinda too hard.

Cute game! I appreciated the homing on my attacks. I found it pretty much impossible to get past wave 5 though

A fun little tower defense game. I liked the gameboy resolution style and the little pixel graphics were cute.

Nice cute game, I love the story. Gameplay is simple but fun, graphics and music are nice too, especially cover art, it's beautiful. It could use more difficulty scaling, after certain amount of towers it's impossible to lose. Nice work.

I like it! I do wish there was a trick to getting further (I couldn't even make it to wave 4), even if it's a cheese.

Really nice! Simple tower defense with an added button for attack works nicely.

The difficulty curve is a bit off, really hard at the beginning then impossible to lose, but it's fine for a jam game!

Great job and thanks for the game, I had fun 💖

I like the cover art! Actual game art and music is nice, too. I think it's cool how you're actually in the game world, instead of just placing towers like in BTD or something. Being able to attack the princes myself (even if I do very little damage) definitely helped out in tighter spots!

Very fun little game :) It was a good challenge getting to the point where it was infinitely sustainable and I didn't have to shoot any princes myself.
I love the intro screen too, makes it feel like an authentic retro PC game!
Very good idea making the princess wand to supplement the towers, and it's very useful that it's guided. Very satisfying to shoot those guys!
The story is fun, only critique I have is maybe you should have put the story text at the beginning of the game instead of just in the description below.
Edit: I broke wave 100 :)
