Upgrade and combine their effects to create powerful synergies, and amplify them further with specialized Tesla towers to build an unstoppable defense.Grow Crops

About 70% completed (sandbox mode does exist) Great game, basic but requires strategy. 3 Defence towers each with 2 upgrade paths. Flying enemies, armoured enemies and fast which require a spesific towers. The bad/Things I would change - no ultrawide support (even if it was empty background colour it would be better than black bars) - spacebar keybind should clone the enter key - no defence tower audio - more than 1 tower should be able to kill flying enemies, gunner tower is good for everything apart from armoured enemies so it gets overused4 found this helpful
Fun little tower defense. Stop reading and just play it3 found this helpful
Really enjoy each play session, planning the defense of the farm. Beautiful, fun game play mechanics, serene ambiance.2 found this helpful
Very nice cozy game about defending your chicken/garden with Rayguns (VERY OP btw). Build crops to farm money and manage your economy to also build towers. Simple & easy to understand.2 found this helpful
Simple but well executed tower-defense game. It's clearly done by a programminng-first developer as the game runs extremely smooth and takes a constant 150 MB of RAM so it can be played on any device. I'm halfway through completing the game with mouse and keyboard. My 2 cents on how this game could be improven: - There's no incentive to build in any formation besides a cross check pattern, both the sprinkler/crops or the turrets with the teslas. - Sharphshooter turrets seems over-powered as it has a lot of range and dps, once I got all upgrades to the turrets in the crow NPC, there's no need to buy other turrets. - Keep the play speed as a global variable as I found anoying to turn it up to the max every time I reset a level. - Maybe I'm blind and didn't notice it, but a shortcut to select upgrades would be appreciated for mouse + keyboard. P.S. Nothing to do with the game itself but adding achievements could make the game more appealing to new players.1 found this helpful
