Defend the base against enemies without running out of power.
#### Controls:
WASD - Move
F - Mine Ores
Left Click - Shoot
Right Click on Base - Toggle force field (power hungry)
Right Click on Other Buildings - Activate them
Mouse Wheel - Switch weapons (if unlocked)
#### Buildings (we ran out of time to get explanations into the game):
Heart: revives you on right click
Circle: expands your force field
black cross: unlocks up to two new weapons
blue cross: charges your own energy
green cross: heals you
red lightning: even more power for a higher price
lightning: power to keep you alive
You have to defend your base against monsters, but every building to help you with that costs power, so you also have to build powerplants (lots of them).
The game lacks balancing and other things to make it a viable game, but all the core mechanics including a workings scoreboard, a randomly generated world and a nice monster AI are done. As this is/was our first LDJam, we weren't quite sure what to expect, but it turned out to be an awesome experience.
We used Unity, FL studio, open game arts for some of the audio files and some of kenny's assets. Next time we should really try to find someone who can help us in the graphics department. In retrospect I also shouldn't have spent half of my time writing a shitty AI (with no prior experience). Considering how terribly stupid it turned out it kind of feels like we should have focused more on the basebuilding part of our game.
