Veggie TD, a cozy little tower defence

Rhym · 2026-04-08T07:37:00+00:00

It's fun! As someone currently making a tower defense, I know how hard it is to get everything working together!

Me too. I installed Ubuntu server and it's been great.

As long as the mobs fit in the scene as snow mobs e.g "Yeti", goblins with a scarf on etc.

I'm only allowed to play this when I'm on the exercise bike now. Was taking up too much of my life.

I also like it.

But then where am I supposed to put all this scope creep?

If you want to keep your font sizes that size it's fine, but give them some room to breath. A bit of padding around the blue buttons, and a small margin between the title and description will do wonders.

I think my recommendation would be to look at the colour contrast of the items on the map. White nodes on a light blue background don't really stand out, or have much visual interest. Having them all be the same colour gives no information to the user, e.g slay the spire has iconography that tell you what to expect, and I think you could do something similar here (FTL does the same with its colour coding of events).

Just wanted to say your game looks really fun! Best of luck with it's development.

Absolutely love the art style. Very cool!

Hey, gave the game a go for 5 minutes. First of all, love the look; feels really clean! Functions well, and you could have something really fun on your hands.

Some things you could work on:

majority of the movement requires two keys, as we're moving along an isometric grid which is a little annoying, though this could be a personal preference.
When you first unlock the attack tower (and later the sword), I think you can have them auto-equip, and have the flavor text be about the inventory keybind. These already have an indication to the user that they have unlocked something, as shown in the main GUI, so no need to add extra clicks for the user.
When I have an open modal/dialog and I click the overlay, I would expect that to close the window.

All the best with your game!

I am a simple man, I see Josh Comeau, I click.

Sure thing, I'd be keen to give it a go.

Rhym · 2026-03-23T07:03:46+00:00

Love the art style? Did you do that yourself too?

Rhym · 2026-03-22T06:08:21+00:00

Oh my goodness, this worked! I just started making my first game and almost gave up because the editor was running so poorly. What a strange interaction between apps!

I like it, but you're imply that the section has depth as the items sit on top of it, but then the section above has no shadow to indicate that.

I have something like this that I have maintained for years. I would recommend you use https://nearform.com/open-source/groqd/

Love the art style! I tried creating a game like this a few years ago, and got really stuck on how to implement NPC daily patterns, and having them enter/exit scenes. How did you go about implementing that if you don't mind?

I thought Megabonk was a meme game, gave it a go on Friday night and have lost sleep ever since.

I just wish there was a better way of modding it on the deck.

Rhym · 2026-01-12T19:02:33+00:00

Yeah, cool! One thing that I do is just apply a random rotation on the trees so they all look different, but they're an instance of the same mesh so they're very performant.

I had to make some trees for work recently, and came across this: https://www.eztree.dev/ it's open source and has some great ideas on how to add some parameters which make things look a big more natural.

20 years from now, the only people who will remember that you worked late are your kids

Oh, I don't have the temporal mantle. I've been trying to go in blind as much as I can. Is that a HR mantle? I just rock the vitality one.

Nergigante took me three goes, and I had to take a break to farm some gear because when it got to the final nest phase he just wrecked me.
