I randomly built the spread fire things in the best spots for them completely by accident and beat the first 5 waves without another unit. It was fun :)
One problem is that there is no way to tell what each tower does or, more importantly, how much it costs. Basically I just had to keep trying to build something over and over again until it appeared.
Overall this is a great first attempt! Those quick purple slime things are nasty!
For your first game, this is actually good. The next things that you should take care of (just my opinion) is:
Add more feedback. Right now there is no way to tell if you have enough money, which tower you have selected, if you have a tower selected at all, if the towers do different amounts of damage etc etc. You started doing this in some parts, like the enemies changing color according to their remaining life (or hits taken). That's really crucial in my opinion. I know you write that you want to add a menu and so on, but I'd really recommend to think once again about where you could make the game communicate better with the player in the smaller but essential details before thinking about tower upgrades :)
This was even more fun than expected. The fire rate on the slowing towers seems to be bugged, as the pink speedy slimes just fly by one by one, without the tower shooting even once... Does the game have to close itself after you lose? At first I thought it crashed. How about a restart button instead? :)
Thanks for you comments. I know we need more information about turrets (price, dammage...). For a restart button, it's my fault i can restart the game when you die, but i'm dumb and i quit. I change this for new version. And the pink slimes, he run really fast and he can dodge bullets but sometimes they dodge all bullets and i don't know why :/
Yeah, protip, don't use an installer. My friend for some reason thought that's what you had to do with our first LD Jam. Just make a release build and pack the release folder into a .rar, then distribute. Pretty nice game though. It was understandable and simple. Good job.
Hey, this is really quite good for a first game. I have a problem with it though. 1) you don't know the cost of the towers until you actually try to build them - and even then you have to work out how much gold you've lost and remember that amount. just a simple number next to the tower icon would solve this.
Fairly faithful implementation of the tower of defense genre. :} But nothing too new for me unfortunately :{
