Bunker Down is a game where you must dig below the surface of a post-apocalyptic environment and build defenses in order to protect yourself from the storm of nuclear missiles headed your way.

Controls:

- Arrow Keys to move

- Left click to dig away dirt blocks or place objects such as walls and ladders.

- Right click on edge of screen (bottom and top) to scroll up and down.

- Middle click to deselect a currently selected building block.

Instructions:

- Avoid getting hit by bombs, place blocks of different materials to absorb the impact from bombs.

- As time goes on, the drop rate, damage, and radius of the bombs/missiles will increase.

- [Front] walls must be placed adjacently to back-walls of the same material.

- Buy and place ladders to climb up and down.

- Stone, Iron, Silver and Gold have increasingly higher amounts of resistance vs bombs (in that order).

- Purchase a pickaxe in order to mine iron.

- Purchase a drill in order to mine silver and gold.

Things we weren't able to get to or complete:

- Sound / Music

- Game Over Screen

- Several Animations (Digging, Death, etc.)

- Fix some bugs (walking across the air, untuned movement, game over buttons misaligned/off-screen...)

- Some optimizations (Automatic scrolling, missile warning alerts, placing ladders and digging with key press instead of mouse click, ...)

We learned a lot and had a lot of fun, and hope you enjoy! Thanks for playing! =]
