You can make money to build obstacles by killing enemies and farming.

Click an object to build and place it somewhere on the map.
Use your mouse wheel to rotate the object.

How many days do you survive?

I couldn't download anything from the Uppit sites. Thankfully, I was able to run the JAR from Mega. This entry shows a great deal of effort - it shows! After I got the hang of things, I wasn't getting owned as much :P.

Very good game, but for me too slow, also the time is passing to slow, but good game!

I feel that the random spawning can be a bit brutal early on, before you get fences set up. Monsters would often spawn simultaneously on opposite sides for me, and I wasn't fast enough to take them both down.

I agree the spawning is a little extreme, I've been able to get to day 6. Best way is to try to farm with all your money as long as you can and buy the iron sword.

Looks pretty well thought out.

Wow, it gets really intense real quick!
As Enzo42 said, the first thing to buy is the iron sword, so plant some seeds and sell some wheat until you can... After that, there's not much you can do, sadly, I couldn't get far enough in the game to unlock more than the iron fence, which is very expensive and doesn't protect you much longer than the wooden one...
A little frustrating, but a great game nonetheless!

Liked the idea and the will behind this game. It's a bit time consuming tho.

Nice game! Could definitely be very fun and stratetic if added more stuff to build. :)

The game time is progressing too slow. Also as there is not so much content the game get boring soon. But there is some potential, with some other structures to build I can imagine this as good innovative tower-defense-like game :-)

At first the time seems too slow, but when you reach day 4+ i find I don't have enough time to put everything down in time. I should of made an option to speed time up to prevent the waiting the first few days

I had fun with this game! I got to day 6. I kind of wish there was a goal day to reach or something. And the game did move a bit slow, sometimes I just wanted to skip to the next scene.

With the addition of more types of things to place and different enemies, this game could be really great! :)

Good but t00 slow

Cool idea, but controls get "stuck" a bit (I can't move around all the time). I like the real-time plus farming idea. Good job!

Nice graphics, nice gameplay, very hard but that might just be me. Maybe could of used checkpoints, but I suppose the difficulty was very much purposeful.

simple tower defense type game, but it's fun and challenging, well done. imo the build button should be on top, next to the stats.

level 0 too hard D': haha

Things get very interesting after the second day. I like the game. I would say though, using the arrow keys, the mouse and space bar didn't really work. I would much preferred WASD, Spacebar and the mouse.
Riocide13 Dec 2014, 22:17
The attacking is very unintuitive and overall the game feels a bit slow paced but if graphics and sound got some tweaking this may get more interesting!

Nice survival game, it's a bit hard to play. :)
