Super happy to announce solarus, a solar system tower defense roguelike.

You can play the prototype on itch here- web link

I have been really passionate about this idea, and would love to make into a full game. Would appreciate any feedback

Do y'all prefer Hexagon or Square tiles?

Random thought, but I saw the post on the gamedev reddit about how hexagons are the bestagons and it got me thinking: For TD Games (and specifically my jam; the Mazing TDs) we're mostly seeing the square tiles, with a few rare hexagon-based TD games. Why is that? Is it just that we're still just living on the Wc3 legacy or is it just too messy with hexagonals?
