Its interesting you say that about the challenge, personally i was literally sweating from trying to beat the final wave, haha, ill think about adding multiple difficulty modes or something..
it does technically work, it just takes a whiile to load and is pretty laggy
Not me literally trying this rn, i originally tried using built-in shadows but they were very blobby unfortunately :/
Yeah, unfortunately it seems that linux systems heavily dislike having to do 3d games on web, since i dont have a linux os computer i couldnt exactly bugtest a linux release either, so i elected not to. Couldnt you perhaps emulate windows to play the game with?
I really like this concept, its a neat take on the idea, i like the dash mechanic a lot, its a good tool in that you can use it to attack or evade, but attacking brings you some risk, its a good tactical tool, very fun to pull off moves with it.
The art-style is also very polished and clean, im a sucker for angel aesthetics and this fits right in.
Im a little bummed out about some of the mechanics, though. The base movement speed is a little slow, and the dash only goes in 4 directions. Besides that having the different dashes be options between levels is a missed opportunity, it wouldve most been more fun for me if the dash options were part of the inherent moveset of the character, like having the long/short dash be dependent on how long you hold the dash button.
All in all leaning into the more arcade-y skill-based elements mightve been fun, and then perhaps using the orbs for choosing between upgrades rather than swapping dashes? something like that might be interesting.
The background showing the previous levels of the tower as you rise up it is a very clever take on the idea, it wasnt specifically clear to me that you were moving up rather than the circle in the center shrinking, so maybe having a "zoom out" effect could be a nice little touch? Even still it gives a really fun sense of progression as you go along.
The enemies i saw were also very well-designed, working well with the central dash mechanic and requiring that risk-reward. It reminds me a bit of hyper demon, design-wise.
Id love to see what other ideas you have for enemies if you keep working on the game. :>
Extremely anxiety-inducing yet also really funny, just like how a gnome game is supposed to be lmao.

A bit janky in a few parts but the final bit made me genuinely laugh out loud, very funny
Very nice game, i like the concept here a lot, and the execution and style is very well-polished, but i wish there was more of a cohesive connection to the theme than just the musical parts, even something small like how big each food bowl was mightve made it feel a lot more like something that was heavily thought-through and iterated on.
Aside from that, the theming is very cute and charming, i especially like the logo, its very snazzy :>
This is a really fun and creative take on both the theme and on tower defense games in general.
I love the artstyle used here, its simple but very evocative.
One thing i did notice is that some of the germs are very unbalanced, especially the ones that spread themselves, specifically the worms were basically essential to winning every time, id suggest making every spreading germ relatively weak, so theres a bit of an element cycle going on with weak spreading germs < single powerful ones < gimmicky germs/thorns.
This is adorable.
Aside from that, i love the theming and concept here, also of course a fellow gnome game is always appreciated haha.
I do think the actual gameplay could be polished a little more though, it was a bit tedious to actually look through the little scenes, in part because theres not too much in them but also because the camera control is pretty slow.
All in all a very relaxing game though, the sound design and art direction is very fitting for a cute concept like this!
