So it's 3:30am and I'm REALLY tired, but I'm releaved to have completed my 3rd LD:
Surface Defence
Controls: Z: Turret (shoots enemies) X: Fishing hut (makes money if there is fish) C: Observatory (produces science, that accelerates the construction of the shuttle) Space: Place building ( sorry for no left click..) Shift: Delete building
Gameplay: - The goal is to fill up the blue science bar and escape earth. This can be achieved via defending the island from the evil from beneath the surface. - But thing cost money; Fishing huts only generate money if there is fish on the local island (Represented by green bar). - Observatories produces more science per second.
Known bugs: - title menu won't start the game until you have looked at the help screen. - the game uses "setInterval()" to spawn monsters, witch runs on actual time, but the turrets does things every frame. If you have a laggy computer, this results in the turrets shooting slower than the game spawn the monsters and it's unlikely for you to win the game :(
strange controls and was weird that money income was not dependent on enemies shot. I just build turrets at start and had no money for money generator, was weird also game becomes very laggy when there many enemies on screen
It's a shame that you can't get money without building those things. I started by building two turrets and immediately had no way of gaining money except for selling both (!) those turrets again, leaving me defenceless... That should not be possible, imo... The game looks really nice though! And you've got some fun mechanics in there :D
It's okay. Controls were confusing at first, but easy enough to figure out. The main menu was kinda unresponsive. There's just not that much to figure out. Build a tower, then a bunch of fishing huts, then two more towers and upgrade your towers whenever you get enough money.
Really great game! I think it was too easy (1 fishing, 2 turrets then observatories ASAP), but it's a great base to start from. More islands, shorter ranged turrets, and more tower types would make this a game worth paying for.
really nice concept! i loved the mechanic and can totally see this being blown out into something bigger, but still kept nice and simple as you have it. congrats!
