I'm working on a roguelike tower defense: https://minifun.games/td?utm_source=kbinprofile

OC After many weekends and sleepless nights later, here's the first gameplay trailer for my personal project (www.youtube.com)

Think of the game as Vampire Survivors, but instead of you having to move and all the skills are passively activated, now you just stay in one place, but you must actively use the skills. That makes sense because the game has tower defense theme, as the name suggested. There is another difference though, it’s how players...

OC My solo project roguelike tower defense game is having a free prologue (store.steampowered.com)

Hello, I've been working on the game, Towerful Defense: A Rogue TD, for almost a year now. I'm about to release the game after Steam's Next Fest in June. And I'm about to release a free version of it, a prologue in May 8th. You can wishlist the prologue now to get notified on the launch day....

Hey, thank you for adding it to your wishlist. I created a separate app to help promote the main game, it's quite a common practice in indie's marketing on Steam. Even Valve, not officially, but does recognize it while we communicate with their reviewers.

Thank you!

Unlike demo, you get to keep the prologue forever (since it technically is a complete product). While dev can disable the demo so you won't have access anymore, even if the dev disable the prologue from sale, players who acquired it will still can play, and download it whenever they want. Steam treats all purchases, free or not, with the same level of seriousness. Fun fact: I had to rewrite the description for the prologue because Steam wanted to make sure "players know what they'll get with their purchase".

OC It's out now! The prologue for my solo project, a roguelike tower defense, is live. Check it out. (store.steampowered.com)

About the game: A tower defense action roguelike where you control a single tower to fight against hordes of aliens coming from all directions. Pick your tower, equip up to 4 skills, and choose from a variety of traits and items to craft powerful builds that lead you to victory....

Thank you! I overestimated the popularity of the term "prologue".

OK, so suspect the Razer may have caused the issue with UI. Can you help me confirm by taking it out for a while?

Just heard about it from someone too, they said mine is Taur but roguelike, I never played that game but by looking I guess it's kind of true.

Hi, thanks for trying out the game and giving feedback.

  1. What platform were you playing (Linux, Mac, PC)? Did you have any device live controller, digital pen,...plugged in at the time?
  2. Let's see if I can improve that one.
  3. It's my bad that you felt confused. But to make it more clear, may I ask: did you get that scrolling wheel is to change which skill you can use any where just by clicking on the screen? Did you know that you can also use skills by pressing QWER/ASDF/ZXCV on your keyboard?

Yes, with native Linux build and full controller support, it will run great on the SD.
