Nazis and dinosaurs meet Allied apes where tower defense meets card games.
The Nazis have gone back in time with their Nazi phone booths to send the dinosaurs against our evolutionary ancestors for some crazy Nazi reason! You must help the apes defend their jungle with bananas and monkey poo against Nazi soldiers, velociraptors, and the evil Tyrannosaurus Reich.
IMPORTANT NOTE:
The standalone link includes the exe and content folder. If it does not run, or gives some sort of XNA error, you MUST use the installer instead (or install XNA). This happens because you cannot run the application without the XNA dependencies, and if you do not have them the installer will get them for you.
This game plays like a standard TD, except that you place and upgrade towers with cards. There are several types of cards, which determines the lower icon.
Lower icon:
-Wrench: Build tower/trap. Play towers on open, non-path tiles. Play traps on the path.
-Arrow: Upgrade tower. Play this on a tower you have built.
-Bolt: Affect enemies. Play this anywhere on the map, it will affect all the enemies.
What the card does specifically is determined by the top icon.
