✦ AI summary

Players praise the game's unique tower defense twist that places the player as an active character in the game world rather than as an omniscient observer, along with its cute, relaxing aesthetic and charming simplicity. However, common complaints include various bugs and control issues, particularly with keyboard and mouse functionality, occasional game-breaking problems in the tutorial, and concerns about the game's incomplete state, with some players feeling it's not yet ready for purchase at full price.

It's been a long while since I've played, and I'm glad to see that the previous bugs from my original review have been patched out. Coming back, I still love the game, it's small, cute and relaxing.

A very fun, and beautiful little game with a very interesting twist on the tower defense game formula by putting you as an actual character in the midst of the game rather than as an omnipresent being overlooking the entire board from above. Adds a very fun and dynamic play style to the game that most other TDGs just don't have, at least from what I've seen. There are a few bugs here and there, but as the developers are open about continuing to work and fix it post launch, and it is their first game, they are passable, especially as none of the bugs I've come across thus far are 'game breaking'.

The game came out very good :) Simple gameplay and design give this game its own charm and you want to take a drag and go through it completely Of course, there are several problems in the game, but this is a fresh game and I am sure that the developers will quickly polish it It's not often you'll find such a simple indie project with good quality that wasn't made in 2 minutes, which is very nice! I wish the developers to continue to make changes and improve their project, although in my opinion, it is already very good to pass it!

Appears to be badly broken. Might be better with a controller, but keyboard doesn't use the mouse for some strange reason. Oddly enough, even though I figured out the first few steps of the tutorial, I then died. As there is nothing else you can do but follow the tutorial, not sure how it is possible to proceed. I also had this odd issue where it would kick my mouse out of the game window, making even closing the game quite the chore. Got this on a massive sale, and it was still over priced. Going right into the Avoid At All Costs category, two thumbs down, getting my money back.
