LASER LANCER
SWING TUTORIAL:
NOTES FOR WEB BUILD:
This game switches between different mouse modes that don't play very well in web, so you may come across moments where you can't turn because the mouse left the game iframe or something like that, so desktop is the most optimal play option imo.

Good mechanics, fun to play for a few minutes, at least without the tile placing. I couldn’t place/buy any tiles. If you could explain it clearer in the description, it would be great. If it’s a bug, hope you can solve it!
Adding it to my collection and I’m also following you, to get update notifications.
Thanks for playing! Appreciate you giving it a shot even with the lack of tiles.
The shop is only accessible between waves, so when the "next wave timer" is ticking, you can pause to access it. The pause button is different depending on if you're playing the web browser build (Backspace) or the desktop build (Escape).
Escape feels like a more natural pause button, BUT when you hit the button on web it can affect things like full screen and mouse mode, so I decided to make backspace a substitute on web.
Once you pause you'll be able to click on whichever items you want to buy (If you have enough gold for it).
Once you buy some tiles, you can un-pause, and place them in any grid cells that are empty. You'll know you can place a tile by it's preview mesh (Just a white dither silhouette). Left click to place down a tile:
Screenshots I wanted to added but Itch was complaining about them:
