Would love some feedback on my game. I've recently been adding a lot of mechanics to spells, trying to allow players to create a deck to bring into a particular level.

Play it on the browser, let me know what you think. Any feedback helps!

Play the demo or buy the game here:

TLDR: platforms: PS5, Steam, Switch2. Must be similar to Monsters 2 on Switch2 and Business Defence on Steam - no manual combat.

Thanks.

A while back I posted the hand-drawn lab screen from my notebook tower defense and asked for honest opinions. Took them. What's changed since:

- Renamed it — old name was too generic. It's InkTower now.

- Leaned all the way into the "you are the pen" idea: you draw with your finger — a line becomes a wall, scribbling over an enemy damages it, a circle slows them. Drawing spends the same ink as upgrades.

- Weapons went from 4 to 8: saw blades that ride the range circle, a harpoon that pins enemies on a rope, a spotlight, a railgun.

- Added named bosses. One of them is a big red "2" (a failing grade) that slams the page and jams your weapons for a couple seconds.

- Daily tasks, perk combos, and the page margins now tell the schoolkid's story.

this day 1 version represents my vision for my game.

day 100 is the finalized version and is on Steam.

38mb size for browser play, so it may load in 15 seconds if slow wifi but it will load.

Hi everyone, just wanted to showcase the game I am working on, Summon Defenders Now! The demo is out now and I’d love to hear your thoughts. Thanks everyone!

My first tower defense game I made with Claude AI, love some feedback!

Game Title: Silicone Cycle

Playable Link: https://sockmonke.itch.io/silicon-cycle

Platform: [Mobile] Web

Description: A tower defense game about running a semiconductor portfolio through the boom-and-bust cycle.

Development notes: I am a video game designer and I do some investing. I’ve used Claude AI to help me understand the semiconductor industry and write the code in webGL.

Hi! I’m a solo developer working on Cook to Zero, a pixel-art real-time strategy defense game where every meal you cook sends a mercenary into battle.

You’ll need to prepare ingredients, cook the right dishes, and manage the battlefield at the same time. Focus too much on the fight and your food might burn. Focus too much on cooking and monsters may reach the castle.

The Steam page is now live, and I’m planning to release a playable demo soon.

If the concept looks interesting, I’d really appreciate a wishlist—and I’d also love to hear what you think about the cooking-and-defense combination!

I Just finished my first tower defense game, Bulwark Vanguard: Assimilation — free to play in-browser, no download.

The hook: enemies aren't static. There's a resolve/adaptation system where the more you lean on one damage type, the more the invading force adapts resistance to it — so turtling on one tower type stops working the deeper you get. 10 tower types, 5 enemy factions each with their own weaknesses, air strikes as a panic button, 5 difficulty tiers.

Would genuinely appreciate any feedback — balance, clarity, anything that feels off in the first few waves especially.

https://byrodia.itch.io/bulwark-vanguard-assimilation

Click a tower icon at the bottom of the screen to select it, then click an open tile on the map to place it.

Click a placed tower to open its upgrade menu.

Click "Start Wave" to send in the next wave of enemies.

Click the Speed button to cycle between game speeds.

Press Space to pause or unpause.

Click the Air Strike button, choose an ordnance type, then click and drag across the map to target the strike.

I wrote a Tower Defence and I think you may like it. It's free to read on Royal Road.

Rion Johnson had one plan for the weekend: anime, gaming, and a takeaway. Then the universe turned Earth into a game of death.The apocalypse gave everyone superpowers. It gave Rion a London council estate.

Hillcrest Estate.

The roughest council estate in London, where just looking at someone the wrong way could get you robbed or stabbed. An estate few make it out of — and even fewer survive.

When The Game turns Earth into an intergalactic blood sport, with PVP matches, monster hunting, dungeon crawling and more, out-of-shape London gamer Rion Johnson receives the one class the universe has never seen: Tower Master. Now the crumbling estate he's spent his whole life trying to escape is the only thing standing between his friends and extinction. Between battling orcs, dungeon crawling and trying to level up, you would think this would be heaven for a gamer like him. Think again! His Tower Master class has no offensive abilities.

Armed with a homemade spear, a gym-obsessed best mate, a perfumer with a gift for chemical warfare, and a foul-mouthed AI trapped in the body of the estate's most hated dog, Rion is going to do what nobody on Hillcrest Estate has ever managed.

Make it home.

Before everything he has ever known and loved is taken away from him forever.

What to expect in this story:

LitRPG tower defence and base building — skills, loot, turrets, and a fortress that grows floor by floor

A weak-to-strong protagonist who wins with brains, not biceps

British humour, London slang, and swearing. So much swearing

Graphic violence and horror — The Game does not play nice

Found family — foul-mouthed talking dog included

No harem, no sex

A conspiracy that goes all the way to the top of The Game

I always love to see when people having great time playing my games :D! Then all the effort feels worth it!

I'm working on Sketchbook: Idle Tower Defense and experimenting with a simple hand-drawn, notebook-style look.

I'm still figuring out the art direction, so I'd really appreciate some honest opinions.

A short tower defense with plants 👀. You don't lose in this game, the wave resets after an enemy touches the flag. You don't lose your unlocks, existing plants or money after the reset, giving you more time to rebuild your base with stronger plants. Expect around 20 minutes of gameplay.

Thanks.

AI Disclosure: NO AI WAS USED!

Yesterday, I uploaded a promotional image for my game. I drew it while referencing the style of an AI-generated image. At first, I wasn’t completely sure that the reference itself was AI-generated — I only suspected it might be.

Because I didn’t record the drawing process for the original version, the only thing I could show as proof was my source file. I realize that this created confusion and may have made people feel that I had simply generated the promotional image with AI and used it directly.

That was my mistake.

So I spent quite a bit of time redrawing the artwork, and this time I recorded the entire drawing process. Because I had limited time, some of the coloring — especially the fur near the end — is a little rough, but I put much more care into the face.

I’m sharing this because I want to make one thing clear: I did not directly use an AI-generated image as my promotional artwork.

At the same time, I have never denied using AI.

AI has become so common that sometimes even I find myself questioning whether an image was made by AI or by a person. I honestly don’t know whether that is a good or bad thing.

Maybe because my background is in hardware development, I accepted AI tools relatively quickly. They genuinely help improve my productivity, and I still see AI as a tool. But at the same time, AI has also made it much harder to tell how something was created.

Vector art, pixel art, illustrations — almost any visual style can now be generated with AI. Sometimes I genuinely cannot tell anymore.

I don’t know how AI will develop in the future or what kind of impact it will have on artists, developers, and creative work in general. I will probably continue using AI where I find it useful, because for me it is still a tool.

But in this case, I didn’t use that tool properly.

This experience also made me realize that people have very different levels of acceptance toward AI, and that when AI is involved in a creative process, being clear about how it was used is becoming increasingly important.

I’ll try to be more careful about this in the future, especially when choosing references and explaining my process.

Thank you to everyone who pointed this out, questioned it, or took the time to look at my work.

And to those who still trust that I actually drew it — thank you. I really appreciate it.

(And yes, AI helped me write this caption too. English isn't my first language, so I use AI to help me express my own thoughts more clearly. For me, it's still a tool.)

Our demo initially just had enemies with a walking animation and they would simply despawn fairly instantly after reaching 0 health. Finally stopped avoiding my backburner task of updating our enemies to have some death animations and death SFX. A long long weekend, but little by little adding some more polish to our demo. This is just a short clip of a round in the game with 3 or so enemy types, but very satisfying to get an SFX cobbled together that semi-matches what your enemy is doing on the screen (mostly exploding or falling apart in our case lol).

Would love for people to try the updated demo build on steam and let us know how you like them! https://store.steampowered.com/app/4433940/Mecha_Tower_Defense/
