About Pathogen Purge - Tower Defense

This is my first ever game so go easy on me. A exhilarating tower defense game that takes players on an epic journey through the human body as they combat and eliminate hordes of invading germs and viruses. As a player, you assume the role of a Nanobot Guardian, tasked with defending the human host from these microscopic threats. You will need to strategically position and upgrade your defensive towers to stop the relentless onslaught of pathogens while exploring different organs and systems within the body.

"Pathogen Purge - Tower Defense" is a very mediocre tower defense with only one differentiator, instead of robots or orcs, your towers shoot pathogens. They way this is skinned, however, is the least of the problems. What do you do in the game? This is as generic as tower defense games can get, but also, of course, lacks polish, it feels a bit like this is a beta test that got published through Steam Direct with the hopes of going viral for, well, no reason whatsoever to do so. I don't know what goes through the minds of amateur developers sometimes. Do they not look at what other games are on Steam before slapping down $100 on Steam Direct? The game is really simple and unambitious in terms of implementation, more of a tech demo or one of those cases where an amateur developer spends $100 to publish something on Steam Direct to see if it's possible. Yes, obviously it's possible. A proof of concept, tech demo, or something that's less than a little blip on the radar isn't offering anything truly valuable to gamers. In terms of visuals, this features fairly low quality low poly 3D graphics which will deter a lot of gamers, understandably. Gaming is a visual medium, and whi…

This is an engaging microbiological tower defense game that merges strategic planning with action, allowing players to assume the role of Nanobot Guardians tasked with protecting the human body from persistent microbes and viruses. However, the game has not undergone sufficient playtesting; players are unable to interact with many of the towers after they have been placed, and certain enemies can damage towers even when the path is unobstructed. The experience will not be fully enjoyable until these issues are resolved.

The game isn't playtested enough, you can't click most of the towers after placing them and the some enemies will destroy your towers even if the path isn't blocked. Wont go hard unless it's fixed.
