"Handsome Joe is finally going to make things clear with the Fearless Shadow Gang... using his plasma rifle!"

Hi guys! This is my second LD entry but this time I joined Split, my fellow colleague and we decided to participate together in the Jam instead. The game actually a tower defense game with a twist... or maybe a Phobia-like massacre with towers? :)

In the end we somehow managed to finish and submit this "prototype" but it definitely needs more balancing, polish and other stuff. I hope that we will do better next time :D

Controls:
W,A,S,D + mouse

Tasks:
1) Settle the matter with the Fearless Shadow Gang once and for all.
2) Stay alive.
3) Protect the Obelisk!

Thanks for playing and enjoy!

Not so sure where the game is either :P. Is this just a way to promote yourself :P? I do hope it will be up soon. Sounds fun :).

Good game and Well balanced.

There is bug when selling something you don't get refund and you can continue after game over.

Amazing visual and really polished game! I enjoy playing it. I'd only wish if there were more weapons for example shotgun or rocket launcher.

I loved this. Really good controls and movement. Sound/graphics are top notch. The gun just feels right to shoot :D This could turn into something great!

Great game! I enjoy playing it:). I like idea of mixing tower defence and classic top down shooter. Good job!

nice, very smooth and good looking, like the strategy element added

Really nicely done, the animations were smooth, and the buildings looked nice. A little more diversity would improve the game, but what's here is still fun and looks great

This is a lot of fun! I love the combo maul/TD and run&gun gameplay.

My only complaint is that I wish the gun sound effect was mixed a little lower.

Great tower defense/bullet hell mash up! Could easily see this being really awesome if it were expanded!

Really cool game. Neat graphics, very fun, polished. I wish there were more features thought, but hey, you only have 48 hours.
Awesome work!

I know this is a jam entry but I was just wondering if you'd share the source for this. Unity-user myself and would really like to learn from this. The gameplay is just so damn smooth! :)
