JARS

JARS is an unusual puzzle-strategy hybrid developed by Mousetrap Games and published by Daedalic Entertainment.

You force me to grind a VERY repetitive content to be able to progress and unlock new levels? No thank you! ♥♥♥♥ you very very much!

Enjoyable little tower defense game with unique aesthetics! Really liked the vibes, though the game does get repetitive after some time. Still! I do recommend giving it a try, especially when it’s on sale, considering how cheap this game tends to get!

poorly designed at a very exorbitant price, its fine on sale but gets pretty stale
