First entry in LD. Had a blast and def will do it again. The art is programmer art and there is no sound, but I think the game mechanics are fun :)
Play it at www.teddygaming.com/LD27
The game is pretty hard, so i suggest playing around in cheat mode to see what works for you. (in cheat mode you may press space to skip a level). Didn't have much time to balance the game. (may i suggest turrets though :P)
Also feel free to download the unity package (in the windows link), you can check out the code/edit it or do what you like :)!
I suggest playing in full screen, some of the GUI is a bit cramped?
There is a cheat mode as well (top corner of title screen)
If you would like to add music/art to this game and make it better w/ me twitter me! @TeddyNashor!
A bit too hard, I think my record is 800 gold or something, keep dying at the 3rd/4th wave. Fun Idea, and makes sense to defend the asteroid you're mining from, but still, too hard.
I love how hectic it is. Gets a bit too hard really fast though. Maybe the mining portion should be more generous so upgrades came faster? But including a shop in itself is a great addition. Solid work.
Really fun, really challenging. Tried it a bunch of times, going for different builds. None of them seem effective enough to beat the waves around 5/6, but still damn fun.
Would have liked to be able to move around in the combat stage. Lava was a bit hard to separate from gold and I often killed myself on it. Nice idea though!
ok its taking longer then 10 seconds ... XD trying to add a bit of custom difficulty so i can get a consensus on what you guys think the difficulty should be
I thought that the gameplay was very fun, although could do with a large amount of balancing. It was really hard to see what lava was at the first level, I never had enough money to upgrade, and in the shooting stage, I felt that it was impossible to shoot the enemies sometimes, as they were coming from different directions. Exciting music would have helped. Also, the graphics do suck, sorry, but the gameplay concept was great.
The mining is very fun and loved the laser upgrades. It would be easier if the upgrades were cheaper. Without cheats I reached level 6. With the proper balance it will be great!
Quite fun, I liked the connection between the different parts of the game, it fit well. I made it to level 61 (that's what the game said at least. Might have been level 6 :D)
I loved the construction of the whole game; the mine upgrade defend structure was really well-thought out...
I think upgrades for the mining part could have added some variety to the playstyle (Were there any? If yes, I missed them and so apologize :P), and that the fights get too tough too fast. I understand it is a "defense" game and so movement would have made no sense, but I would have liked to be able to move in this game, at least in a small, confined area.
Overall pretty solid, with some polish and tweaking/balancing, this could sell a sponsorship, easy.

Fun stuff, but a few things could be improved, especially sound is really missing from the game. And some small stuff. like the lava looking a lot like gold in the mining level, but the rest is cool already. Nice job!
Is shocking the change between both gameplays, but i liked the game and played for a while :D
