I DEFEATED THE SPOOKERS!

Okay, this is one of my favorite games I've played in a while. I was a sucker for tower defense games as a kid, and this really captured that for me. Big 2000s vibes.

This game is pretty well made for a 72 hour game so congratulations to all you guys who worked on it! :D I was a bit confused at the beginning as to what I should do but after getting the hang of things, it was a very enjoyable experience! The candy corn cursor is also adorable and the art/map in general is very charming. Also appreciate the Halloween theme with October turning up right during the jam. Great job!! :D :jack_o_lantern: :ghost:

Spooky - got me in the mood for the season for real

Did y'all make all these assets and effects for the jam - it's packed!

Lots of spooky art and audio :-) quite spooked

It wasn't clear to me what the difference between the different types of towers is. Maybe you could add that to the Itch description?

I LOVED the jack-o-lantern in the radius shell around the towers. The whole Halloween aesthetic is fantastic! The music slaps, and the game is fairly easy. I didn't beat the miniboss though. Great game!

@vgel Thanks for the suggestion, adjusted the description for that

Spookers beaten! I loved it, good job. I'd add more lit effects to the turret shooting so that the dark period isn't that simply black.

Hey! I enjoyed playing this on stream! Here's the vod that will be up for a week if you want to share it with your team https://www.twitch.tv/videos/1610268632?t=00h58m44s

Yall did a really good job starting the game very simple during the daylight. It was cool to see the gameplay intensify as night fell and the music started going WILD! Well done!

Well done! Loved the day/night and tower defense has always been a sweet spot for me. Loved the sound track as well, though the death sounds could have been more varied. Good stuff!
