love the aesthetic and the vibe, and the game concept is pretty neat! it has problems with balancing and whatnot, but the thing that felt most annoying was that it was sometimes confusing why my units weren't attacking.  i assume there's some sort of cooldown but it felt fairly long, and it felt like most of the time, my units would just walk away from an enemy and not attack, and once they're on the other end of the loop they can't reach so the enemy doesn't die for ages. maybe just a skill issue though. cool game!

Such a cool concept and super impressive to see it executed so well.

Love the overall aesthetic and it's cool how much your strategy has to adjust with the changing spawn points and new structures to defend.

I really like the concept! The enemy variety adds a nice challenge, and the line-drawing mechanic is such a unique and creative twist for a tower defense game. My only issue is that having a gold system for the units would make it more strategic, especially since archers are waaay better than swordsmen. Overall, a really enjoyable game!
If you have time, can you check out our game as well?

I find it very satisfying to see your guards protecting your tower according to your plan. Though there wasn't much challenge in this game, I spent a lot of time drawing loops and watching the result !

big fan of this spin on the tower defense genre.  drawing your own paths is way more engaging than just clicking tiles on a map to place towers/units.  the idea of the extra buildings to include in the loop were my favorite addition, and i think itd be really cool to expand on that a bit (riskier buildings further away give extra gold for units, optional upgrades, etc.). love the paired down art style and the medieval map aesthetic, the sfx and music also fit the atmosphere really well.  definitely a game that i would come back to if there were more content added, thanks for making it!

This is an excellent first jam submission!  The art style is captivating and you found appropriate yet relaxing sound effects, that can't have been easy!  I'm obsessed with the sound of the building taking damage.  I really like the inclusion of the bonus buildings that you need to put in your loop.  I can see this as the core of a fun spin on the tower defense genre.  Awesome job!

THIS GAME IS SUCH A VIBE!! the ambience is super great and the art and music are wonderful. i assumed at first i could create paths for each individual unit so i was a little confused when i couldn't but it's really cute!! i think if u keep updating this game i'd like to see loops for each individual unit and that way i feel there would be more strategy involved in placement! but super fun i liked this one a lot. beautiful game!

Quite a unique spin on the tower defence genre and a satisfying game to look at/listen to, very good job!

Love the art style! Fun little twist on the idea of a tower defence game and it worked really well! I would really like to see a full version of the game with more enemy, unit types, or perhaps even upgrades! 

i standby all when declaring the artwork in this being incredible - the central detailed tower, the shadows of soldiers, and the derpy enemies, i feel like they should clash and yet, it perfectly emulates a child's doodling in a beautiful way.

it takes the classic tower defense feeling and tries something new! i like it. i think additional friendly units and some tweaking to the drawing mechanic would help it a lot.

INSANE that this is your first game jam - incredibly work and a huge kudos to the two of you!
mugi, you're pretty good on the keys of a piano but you may be even better on the keys of a computer.

Really awesome core concept! I love the idea of a free floating tower defense game where you can reset the towers each time. I was a little confused why the melee guys seemed more expensive than the archers, yet also much less useful? I got to wave 10 by just buying two archers at the start of each round. I think there's a lot of design space here, could definitely see some cool modifications on it!

Great idea and very nice aesthetics!

I really like the idea of adding a preprogrammed movement loop to the base-defence game, but in the current version, it feels a bit too straightforward - often the best loop is just to put them in one spot near the base, or move between two such spots by the shortest loop. 

So I was thinking of what can make it more fun - and I was thinking adding some rhythm to it would make it more meaningful, so you can adjust the loop to respond to the rhythm.

Or maybe even monsters spot not just in one location and go towards base, but they spawn in predefined spots, and move in a certain direction with some rhythm. So the challenge would be to make a loop that best fits those two.

Also, having separate tracks for archers and sworsmen would be fun!

Overall - great ideas and interpretation of the theme!

Really fun to watch your loop of little guys build up and march around! Wave 5 is super brutal but I got there

Love the visuals here! So calm. It reminds me of an old game you can't get anymore that used to be on iPhones called harbormaster. Nice work!

I'd appreciate feedback on my submission if you get a chance!

It's extremely creative and stands out uniquely in line with the theme of 【loop】. I was completely immersed in the gameplay, and this gaming experience was fantastic!

Very unique idea, great take on the theme, and I like the potential it has! Great job, I would just suggest going for the web build so you can reach more people with your amazing ideas! Well done!!!

This is really, really fun, probably the game with the most potential. I really encourage you to keep working on it because with a few added things, it could do really, really well. I feellike you should be able to have multiple paths and I also found that sometimes, even though the enemy is very close/in the direction the fighter is facing, they won't attack for some reason, that could also get worked on. Still, I had a lot of fun playing it, and I don't usually like tower defense games.

Cool idea, well executed! Had fun with this one. :) Nicely done!

MistWatch is a mustwatch, really nice game loved the simplictic but refied art style
