The death animation is procedural instead of a set sprite sheet. A script reads the pixels from the enemy image, and spawns a particle for each pixel into a standard Unity particle system. It was very helpful to save time!
Beat it on hard it was fun. Also beat it with focus on mesh towers, very fun. You got something special here friend, I probably put in like 10 hours already lol lost count how many times I beat the game.
That's so good to hear! Glad you have enjoyed it so much!
I am definitely planning on expanding the game some more, possibly with some new maps, maybe an endless mode. As someone who's played through it many times, what kinds of things do you think you would be most interested in seeing?
Pixel graphics and balanced mechanics really sold me, so anything else is extra. I feel the best thing about the game is the very well crafted pixel graphics. Second is the elements, it feels fun to mix them and such. Reminds me of magic the gathering.
I'm interested in rpg elements myself, critical hits, or towers having a kill count where random stats increase depending on how many monsters they have defeated.
Or an item shop that has speed/range items to more personalize individual towers would be cool and add a ton of replayability.
Mesh Tower can basically deal with all waves except Father and Mother. Ultra powerful against hordes (combined with EMP) not so great vs Bosses. I wanted to do only mesh run but cannot find a way yet. With fountains I'm sure it will work but I only want green on my screen, NO BLUE.
Oh friend, I would like to say it would be cool to make a free mode, where money is infinite. I would love to play around with crazy combinations. I play on easy usually so I can try all types of combinations. So fun, love it. Here is a pic on one of my runs, I like the stone towers as well. I try my best to keep it symmetrical but oh well.
So glad you are enjoying yourself! I definitely plan a major update to this game in the future with more features, like and endless mode, and a free mode!
In the meantime though, if you type the phrase 'secretcode' you can unlock the dev console, which gives you access to many powers. But keep it a secret ;)
LOOOOVE this game, beat like 5 times already. Not on hard yet though. I love the mesh tower but I can't seem to optimize its power. I keep trying to do like a only 2 tower run type of thing and I find it so hard towards the end it never works out. Has anyone done that yet.
The mesh tower is one of my favorites! But it has also been the most challenging to balance as well haha. I find that I usually need at least 3 before they come into their full power, if I can make a triangle and get a lot of coverage. But they are not the best against hardy enemies with armor..
I think doing a run with limited towers/tower types would be a great idea for a challenge-mode in a new update!
Speaking of that, I almost beat it with only water towers today, well I didn't try all that hard to delete the rest. Very close to doing an energy only run. But it do be hard.
I ran into a bug where after upgrading a Bomb Tower that covers the entrance as well as the exit, the tower keeps firing at the exit even though there are only monsters entering from the entrance. Very strange.
Ah that is intentional actually! I found it tricky to balance otherwise, since the number of connections can grow so quickly, it ends up being super overpowered
This is a wonderful tower defense game. It shows the perfect balance between rewarding and difficult waves, whilst also giving many different options for towers and strategy. It would be nice to have an "autoplay" feature for the waves. 9/10
Glad you enjoyed it! There is actually an auto-play feature you can turn on in the settings menu! and you can also right-click the next-wave button as a shortcut.

This game is a masterpiece, i love this game so much.
I love this game!!
Awesome game! I spent more time playing this game than any other game I've played on ITCH! 😊
I can also say that the fullscreen option would be great if you implement.
My game is stuck on 3x UI mode and I really wanna play
does anyone know how to fix because I cant click anything
Ah sorry about that!
You can press Shift-0 to reset the UI scale to the default value. You can also use Shift-1/2/3 to set the scale to 1x 2x or 3x directly.
tysm
Great game! Pixelart and animations are wonderful!
Have a small question about animations. Are death animations generated or every enemy animated separately?
The death animation is procedural instead of a set sprite sheet. A script reads the pixels from the enemy image, and spawns a particle for each pixel into a standard Unity particle system. It was very helpful to save time!
Loved it!

Aha! Good catch, can't believe I never noticed that before. Will be fixed in the next release!
And I think this is also a bug: Currently each monster takes at most 1x Mesh damage at a time, even if they are literally in a mesh of Meshes.

Thanks lol.
Very fun game, beat it on hard. Boulder and stone towers are very good. Pretty well balanced overall though I think.
very good game! and the ending scene is soooo~ cute!
great work! I’d be happy to donate a theme song and some sound effects if you intend to keep working on it.
That would be awesome! I'll contact you for more details
awesome
Great game, very fun
Solid tower defense game with some quite cool towers. Beat it on normal!
Beat it on hard as well
That's awesome! Glad you enjoyed it!
would be nice to be able to see a preview of which enemy will transform into what.
i really like that towers can be moved. that's the thing i usually find most annoying with that kind of games.
i also really like that you have made a tower defense with a save and load function
Good Game!
I got stuck on 3x UI mode and I cant play
pls help me fix
