JIJI TD

Really pretty art: the desert ruins, the carved glyphs that light up on the ground and the big mask panel give it a strong identity, and the little intro dialogue sets the scene nicely. I struggled with the controls though: I couldn't figure out how to place the stone pieces on the slots before the first wave arrived. A highlighted first placement or a one-line hint would make the start much smoother. Nice look!

Hi!

This game flowed so well. The tutorial stage was engaging, loved the little humor tidbits!

What I really liked the most about all this was the whole "flow". What I mean is that it just felt natural to play, (sure yes, it's a TD game) but you executed it so well. Almost like a tutorial wasn't needed.

The aesthetic is awesome, the music too. Cohesive art and the UI was clear enough to guide me to what I wanted to do.

Dope work, y'all. You should be proud.

I thiiiiiiiink that you have potential to make something legit. Especially if you lean into (what i can see) the fact that you can make a seamless and smooth gameplay.

(If you want, check out my team's game. IF you like management games, otherwise ignore it ^^)

Thanks for the play time :D

I took an embarassing amount of time before figuring out the button on the top-right showed updated info on the tiles and not just the different slot sizes lmao
Great visuals and very fun twist on a tower defense!
It could use some more sound effects but otherwise, pretty complete game 👍

The art and music is great and fits the setting perfectly. Felt a little unbalanced but overall really enjoyed it!

Good art and music, overall quite a fun game, and my favorite yet for the "old tech" theme (and also the oldest tech I've seen here). Upgrades are varied and replayable. I think it would be better if there're a fixed number of bonuses and rerolls between rounds instead of relying on your mouse dragging accuracy to get fast card refreshes, and spawn more "slots" cards overall until you can no longer place more of them (I often get too many plates but no slots to put in).

The music puts you in a genuine trance. It would be super cool to place towers directly on beat! Overall a solid tower defense without an economy, though random block drops can occasionally ruin a run. Love the tower abilities, just wish there were even more. Got totally hooked. Thanks for the game!

Interesting tower placement system, but it’s not really clear what the bonuses do or how they differ from each other. Nice style and it combines great with the theme! A bit of a shame there are a ton of waves on one level—definitely wanted more variety.

Very ancient mechanism... But I think the mechanics of combining tower elements could be developed further.

@maxxxmax Thanks for the feedback! 😊 We actually have a hint system in the top-right corner that explains the bonuses, but maybe we could have made it more noticeable!
