Hey folks! We joined this year’s GMTK Game Jam and just released an update closer to our original vision for the game (our idea was a bit too big for the jam’s timeframe 😅). It’s a bite-sized roguelike deckbuilder, check it out!

Even though I’m the programmer, this one was my idea!😄
Our Machine Gun is the only building with limited ammo, it unloads everything in one turn, then needs a big cooldown to recharge.
What do you think?

One thing we wanted in our game was to create intuitive but not explicit interactions.
The Bomb Tower throws bombs, which are also a tool used to collect rocks. So its attacks end up gathering resources too. Opens up some fun strategic choices. What do you think?

To activate Hard Mode, I made this little fella! It’s an interactive button with a cute idle animation, and it reacts to your progress bar and the moment you unlock hard mode. Small touch, but I love how it turned out! 😈👿

How intuitive is a circus tower that throws a giant ball that bounces off enemies' heads one after another? It’s oddly satisfying to watch
