HeXor [A Real Time Hexagon Tile Based Strategy Game]
This game let's you command the fight between malware and antimalware. You being on the antivirus side, your job is to defend the PC and recover every chip that was infected.
Theme: GROWING You stop the virus's territory from growing while expanding yours.
The main idea of this game was actually a virus vs. immunesystem scenario but the textures looked so futuristic, we had to change it.
Have fun playing this game! Please rate fair and leave constructive critism.
The OS/X Version has not been tested.
[[0.1.1 UPDATE]]
BUG FIXES: Fixed bug where updating and keyboard controls wouldn't work if you have played the tutorial before. Fixed bug where music wouldn't play after the first song finished. Fixed bug where the Debugging Tower wouldn't damage any cells. Fixed bug where units couldn't be placed even if the requirements were met.
Tweaks: Tweaked chip regen rate from 10 to 5. Tweaked Debugging Tower's attack from 10 to 15.
[[NOT NAMED UPDATE]] Fixed even more bugs and tweaked even more stuff.
Okay so works great for me on Windows 10, but ironically the debugging tower seems to be bugged! :D You can't place it, even after having the prerequisite. And you can't destroy it if the enemy builds it.
Nice game, incredibly big and well done for the time given, however..
After 15 minutes I was near the enemy and couldn't defeat it, stuck at 94% until I gave up at 25 min because I spammed the whole map with towers and couldn't win.
I wasn't able to build the Debugging tower also. :(
I'm a developer for this game. Thank you for your feedback, the debugging tower bug was overlooked in our rush and we fell short in that area. We're already trying to fix it now.
If you want, come back later and play to see if you enjoy it.
As for the OSX bug: none of us own a mac it's highly suggested that you download Love2D(very lightweight) and run the source through it. Thanks for your patience with us!
Nice game overall, unfortunately, after a while, it seems I can't complete the level : I'm stuck at around 10% zone remaining for the enemy, and it keeps popping towers right after I destroy them.
I unfortunately cannot play the game, as after numerous tries, the little blue bar never progresses, and so I get no ticks. I tried spacebar, tried speeding and slowing the game. Please fix, I'd love to try it!
@Bloodyaugust We are sorry to tell you that probably, that bug won't be fixed for quite some time. An alternate way to play the game, is to download Love2D www.love2d.org, rename the .zip to .love and running it.
I have a thing for nice menus and this is one of the nicest ones I have seen so far :)
The game is very complex for being a Ludum Dare game, It took me a little while to understand and read everything, but once you get it, it's a lot of fun!
The visuals of the game are very nice and coherent and it just feels like a full game.
a very interesting basis for a game, but I feel like it needs a lot more work. I didn't feel like I had any interesting decisions past building some economy first. Once I did that, I just dumped buildings on the board as fast as I could click them cause I had no money issues. Possibly having buildings have a maintenance cost would provide some choice, and adjacency to other buildings for compounded effects.
This was a very fun game. I played a full game and won. I didn't care for the text heavy tutorial, but the game is easy enough to pick up. Have to get more of this game....would be a great mobile game.
Great job, except for the music. The music itself is very good, but doesn't match the game well. It's just too "Disco" made me headache when I trying to think, I have to turn it off to keep playing. Other than the music, it's all good, even incredibly polished in the time given. I haven't meet any bugs, lucky me :)
We've tried to make our own calm music and asked many many people around and as they couldn't help us, we had to go with the easy option. Thank you for your review @qwerto
@SpringCabal That's because you denied the game using the internet. It uses a library called lovebird for debugging in a browser that needs internet access.
Wow, a really solid game! It took a few moments to figure out how to play and I wasn't aware I would move the camera around so I was very confused about why red was doing so well despite my screen being mostly blue. I won in the end, though! :)
Nice game, I like what you did with the UI. I don't know why but at first I was persuaded to be the red one and therefore wasn't able to build anything hahaha. I feel the game need more balancing and more explanation as to how cells are conquered but impressive ob anyway !
After some tries/experimenting/figuring out stuff I finally understood and it great. Very interesting idea and the whole thing was very effective! Great job! :D

I'm going to try and make another mac build
main.lua:29: module 'src.UI.winlosescreen' not found
no file 'src/UI/winlosescreen.lua in LOVE game directories
Very fun game though, regardless, so great job!

Seems like a lot of work went in though !

Same error running regular and as admin.

Overall pretty good job!!
