So we made a tower defense where the tower is the mind of the character, the god of time can heal you every 10 seconds, if you can stand for a long time he can make you stronger but you must fight to save yourself, that's the concept we worked on, graphics are fully made in pencil, I think we are proud of finish this in time, some details couldn't be finished but here we are.

Controls:
A - W - D to move
Space to jump
Click to shoot the ghosts.

Recommendation: play in full screen, you will miss some things if you dont.

Hope you guys enjoy this little game.

Music was nice and I love hand drawn art in game jams!

I really like the art ! good work gg

Really neat art! The bell audio for the health drops went really with your music. Jumping felt a little weird - all of my play time was spent under the structures. Lovely name and game concept/story. Great job!

Visual is nice and great. UI is strightforward.

Not sure what's going on but the player won't load ^^

Great art, love the hand-drawn sketchy style. Together with the music you nailed the somber aesthetics. Having the arrows have such huge arcs sometimes let me hit with them on the way down, which made me feel extra skilled. You 100% should be proud of your submission - everyone has some details they wish they could have got in, but this is great in spite of that.

Nice game! I'll say I had a hard time navigating through the level, I'd suggest being able to jump through the floors to make it easier to move around, I'd often get stuck at the lower levels trying to shoot the skulls in the middle x)
The ambiance, art and music are really cool and interesting! Overall a very neat game, will be trying to progress further!

Visual looks great and music goes along with it. It was difficult to navigate on the map but overall well done.

This game is actually pretty neat, I really enjoy games like this. It reminds me of a Tower defense game. Loving the music used as well, at it adds to the atmosphere of the game and the art style itself.

The game looks and sounds great. Especially the Enemies look amazing.

Nice and small game. Keeping the scope small was a nice choice.

There are few bugs.
-- Some of the UI elements were not visible / out of screen space.

-- Enemies shoot outside of the screen, and with their projectile speed it is easy to die.

-- Sometimes enemies respawn where they die and become invincible. Maybe they their health become negative. You need to look at a Debugger to solve that.

--Wish those platforms were jump through platforms. That would make the game much better.

Overall great graphics and sound effect.

Good entry, jump is a bit hard to handle when you want to climb your mind fortress. Keep coding !

Cool art style! The controls don't feel responsive and it's hard to move around. Would be nice if you didn't have to click continuously to shoot.

Great game !! really good concept. Got stuck in middle for a while but figured out the way later. Awesome work for a limited time jam. You should go with this concept further. Please do check out my submission as well.

very good arrow ballistics (especially if it's not built-in unity physics). Pleasant music, endless gameplay

amazing artwork and love using the bow as a weapon, although I would suggest making the platforms into 1 way platforms where the player can jump from beneath them and land onto them without bonking their head. Other than that, nice game!

Really nice art and music. Would like to be able to just hold down fire
