A clever tower defense game
This is a stylistic tower defense-style game with humorous writing and jazzy music. You build stores to attract shoppers with the goal to make them spend all their money before leaving town. It seems simple enough, but many maps take careful planning and/or desperate trial & error. Sometimes a few small tweaks will put you over the “win” threshold, but other times you have to go back to the drawing board and start from scratch. They have built-in tips to help you figure it out, but it’s more fun to try and figure it out on your own. Excellent game, check it out!
Developer Response ,
Thank you for your review. Glad you like it! :-)
Great time management puzzle game
Almost a minimalist puzzle with funny writing text and a learning curve. Once you figure out the pace of the “Dupes” and the capacity and speed of the stores, you got it!
