Fancy Fortress

Very unique concept! I included it in my GM48: Colors are Important compilation video series, if you’d like to take a look. :) https://youtu.be/VmlMQ0caULs

So close! Made it level 9, can anyone beat that?! :D

I loved so much of this entry. High innovative design and awesome controls. I agree with what some people have said about it getting easy pretty quickly, but with more time I could see this developing into a really interesting tower defence title unlike anything I've seen before. The shooting sound effects were a little high pitched.

Everything from the animation to the presentation and music was absolutely on point. I hope to see this developed and polished up further.

Brilliant entry, well done

This could easily be turned into a "Beyond" game jam game! I'd definitely play it :) Good Job!

Gonna just reiterate Lyra's feedback there!

EDIT: reiterating, as in, I agree with what they said and the rest of my message is trying to mention other aspects ^^

It's nice because the game is super intuitive (except for the control, i had to read the instructions here cause I am not used to move a character with the right click - you could have added wasd as a secondary option for movement), it's easy to understand what does what (although I didn't get quick that the same color cancels itself) My only gripe would be that as the difficulty ramps up, the game gets a bit repetitive. As in, when you have the three colors, nothing really forces you to play differently. I always used the same strategy (when i got the hang of it): having a yellow turret protected by blue barriers. Then when I can, I add the red (although this technique was disrupted when the only enemies were snails) I kinda wished there was something to add to it, like more new enemies or maybe special items (idk, for example, a bomb in the middle that you can "attack" to get a reward, making you chose between a better defense or force you to play things differently, as turret would be aggro by them and thus not killing enemies), but obviously the time restriction made that difficult to add either way.

I lost when there was a super violent spam of about 10 turtles. Jesus, How was I supposed to beat that? The number of red bombs spawned from their death was insane

EDIT: Crap! If I knew this was the last wave, I would have tried to beat it at least one more time. At that point, I was, to be honest, a bit exhausted by the game, that was rather long, and I just thought "okay things are gonna get crazier than that later on so maybe I should just quit now, this is getting too intense for me" lol

I lost on turtle :D The game mechanic was pretty unique, and I liked it, the game worked well and the music was good. The sound effects were bit annoying if I may complain about it. Though graphics were bit too pixelated and crude, you had some animations and transitions with levels was good, it gave the game more polished feeling. It was good game with nice tower defence mechanic :)

This game is fantastic. The concept of "tower-defense with a twist" works amazingly there. Having the theme of ink, pencils and paint in the core gameplay is really cool, even if the "colors are important" part is secondary and more of an indicator. The gameplay is super visual and you immediately understand what's going on on screen (also, it is cool to see the aftermath of each wave with colors splattered everywhere).

Another big point I enjoyed are the controls. Moving around and using colors feels great, snappy and responsive, and tying your abilities to movement adds an extra layer of strategy and interaction for the player. You don't just wait for enemies to come, but you also have to go and attack them and react to other enemies that might have spawned.

The difficulty is kinda on the easy side, and it ramps up way too slowly, but that's to be expected from a 48h game. Also, I don't really enjoy the yellow color, as it makes the game just a basic tower defense.

Overall, this game is a resounding success in my opinion, with fantastic gameplay, art, and sound/music. Huge congrats to the team!

This is a great concept and really well done for 48 hours. I greatly appreciate the ease-in approach to difficulty, providing one tool at a time while slowly increasing the complexity. The only issue I had in the game was figuring out that I had to click on the menus even though I was using the keyboard to scroll through the options.

Another Team golden Games game... anD ANOTHER TITLESCREEN ARTWORK FROM THE AMAZING FEMALE ARTIST! Her work is undoubtedly the best in this entire game! Maybe you should even pay her next time...

Great submission. This might be my favorite so far. I fully appreciate the aesthetic and how everything integrates back into that style. All the pixel shredding from the snails on red paint, the way the background is made of just offset lines, the giant pencil transitions with cheery 90's computer feeling music. So great.

My one gripe is that I wish I understood better the advantages of the yellow ink. The giant puddle of purple left over really outweighs my reasons to use it right now.

Still, that's something very small considering I would play a lot more of this game if it was available and a bit faster paced. More enemies. More stress. MOAR.

Seriously though, this is great.
