quite charming and fun little game

would love to see it developed into a full fledged game some day

Hey guys, I loved playing this one. I never knew Tower Defense Eva was something I needed but now I stand corrected. I liked NGCC enough that I wrote a short article about it: https://www.thefinalarc.com/neon-genesis-construction-company-fixes-the-world/

Great work y’all!

That is awesome! The lengths you have gone to researching the game and its references makes all of it worth every second. Much love from the Susjam team and friends 🧡

"Eva meets PvZ"  This is perhaps the best fusion I've seen in a long time. The tried and tested gameplay of PvZ with the excellent Eva art. This is amazing... The amount of work laid dow for just a jam is huge, great job! The music is also perfect, really evocative of the angel attack theme and the eva atmospere overall. Even the canon sound effects remind me of the series... The only downside is there's no more levels! I wonder if there's a foreman instrumentality project on the pipeline...

love it, would pay for more

I would love  a full version of this one,  love the concept, in this iteration, it is pretty simple, build 4 rigs, and then just make sure initial towers are in lanes with enemies, but with some tweaking, I could see this making a really fun game

wow. The best one i played so far, love the models and aesthetics, i would love to see more levels and bigger scale enemies, would also love if the enemies and turrets would go freely on a grid instead of fixed lines, but still pretty cool concept <3.

I really liked this one, a plants vs zombies inspired game, i had fun playing it, there was a point when i was just running around trying to upgrade everything and money stopped being a problem, i really liked the little bucket heads on sharks. The music and sounds were great

Good Job!

Get on the fu**** tower building machine Shinji...

lmao

Okay so I figured out the way to get the secret skins is completely random when you load the game.

SO FAR. I've found 4 different skins:

1. Default

2. Purple

3. Red

4. Retro

(Specifically not naming them to avoid spoiling it for others)

I refreshed about 50 times and saw all of those once with the exception of the purple skin which I saw like 3 times... I wonder if there's more.

Great little tower defense game!  Huge fan of the art direction and homages to PvZ and Helldivers, and it runs great!

Okay wow this is such a fantastic homage and IMPROVEMENT on the Plants vs Zombies formula that I wish more games would challenge!

Firstly let me get the few little issues out the way I had with the game. BLOOM. Bloom is way too damn high, why does everything need to glow? It's cool in moderation but I don't really see the need to have bloom on the health bar or hazard stripes. If it's a design choice that's fine. I just don't like bloom in general and always turn it off.

Not really an issue but... WHY ARE THERE HIDDEN/SECRET SKINS!? HELLO!? I accidentally died because I had to walk away from my PC and when I came back the mech was GUNDAM COLOURS!? WHAT! Then after refreshing 20+ times and even letting myself die again I could not get it to change back to a gundam. I even tried pressing different buttons on the start screen and could not replicate it. Am I going insane? Did I hallucinate this?

Pause button would have been nice, getting my mouse stuck in the game is a bit of a minor pain but not a massive issue.

Okay now that all that is out of the way...

HOLY GODS OF ALL THAT IS AND WAS. HOW DID YOU GUYS PULL THIS OUTTA YOUR *** IN SUCH A SHORT TIME FRAME?

WOW, just wow. I love defence games and as soon as I realised it was a lane based defence game I was 100% locked in. Not only am I defending a cool sci-fi version of Tokyo (which looks awesome) I also need to build oil rigs to generate income to fund my defence capabilities. It basically is the Plants vs Zombies formula just scaled (hehehe) up to 11.

Character controls great, running around and building stuff is SUPER simple and easy to understand and pick up. The enemies are super cool shark kaiju and don't think I didn't notice those little (giant?) metal bucket hats on some of them. Fantastic little touch.

I will say I found the game SUPER easy. Maybe because I know how these games work but I just built like 5 rigs at the start and immediately had MILLIONS and MILLIONS to spare. I could then just run around and throw down 2 max power turrets with walls infront of them in every lane and I was set for the rest of the game.

Graphics, I don't even know what to say. It's literally perfect the design, the cell shading. The animation. Not a single pixel out of place from the moving water, to the floating HUD to the awesome cityscape and Tokyo tower and MT.Fuji in the background. 

Again the audio is just absolutely on point, the SFX and ambience of the turrets firing and the music was so well placed that I literally cannot find a single thing to complain about.

I honestly don't know what else to say other than I love this so much. I would 100% buy this game and I want to see a full version of it in the future. The fact that this is the first game I've played in GMTK is insane and anything else is going to have a really difficult time comparing with this.

HOW DO I GET THE SECRET SKINS? ARE THERE MORE? THERE MUST BE NEON GENESIS EVANGELION SKINS!?

Runs & performs really well for a 3D web-game, the screen shake really makes the giant mecha-robot feel powerful!

Do think the early game should give you a little bit more time to breath, I kept getting overwhelmed on multiple lanes right at the start  :o

Did manage to break trough the start a few times and survived for a decent while :P 

Goodjob for making a playable 3D tower-defence in such little amount of time.

Yeah definitely, we weren't sure how difficult to make the game. Haha probably should've got some more playtests in during the jam
