A downloadable Game for Windows, macOS, and Linux

This is a simple game where you go through as many waves as you can of anger-driven plants as a Turret

NOTE: This is my first Cocrea game

I see what you mean about it not loading on itch. The issue here, I think, is that it is attempting to bypass a cross-origin request (CORS) policy and failing because it doesn’t have the proper permissions, mainly due to a missing server.

I get these errors in my console:

Access to fetch at ‘project.json’ from origin ‘null’ has been blocked by CORS policy: Cross origin requests are only supported for protocol schemes: chrome, chrome-extension, chrome-untrusted, data, http, https, isolated-app.

Failed to load resource: net::ERR_FAILED

The problem with JavaScript is that it requires some sort of server to connect to, which is why your game doesn’t work as a local file, but does work on Cocrea. You can bypass this restriction in your web browser, but this is not recommended. I would either redirect to an available HTTPS server, or even supply your own.

You could kind of work around the issue. There are ways to get JS to function locally without going to much trouble to set up a local server or make it connect online each time you launch the app.

All this said, it’s an interesting little game, but a broken download might not bode well for your overall score. Don’t let that stop you - even if you don’t win, I look forward to see what you make next! 😊
