Ludum Dare #41compo
Bath Crasher
Fight your way to the bird bath and smash it to win
Use A and D to steer, S to slow down and Space to charge
Elephant tusks are only good against buildings, birds are untouchable by them
The turrets can only shoot at the birds, although the explosion from bombs can hurt buildings too.
Collect dust by destroying buildings and birds. Use dust to upgrade your elephant or turrets.
'Turrets' include:
Archer
Bomber
Robot
and Wizard
Start with space for one turret, add more with the '+' icon on the bottom row. Build a turret with the '+' icon on the right side.
Two incompatible genres combined are: vehicular combat and tower defense, as well as turrets from an assortment of genres
If you're having trouble getting very far take it slow, gather lots of dust and upgrade before you destroy any bird houses. Wizards are over-powered.
Fixed the bug with Chrome
Known bugs:
Can somehow spend into negative dust in some situation

SOLUTION: Play in Firefox
edit: Oh, there's a note about this. Whoops.
The Windows version just wouldn't open for me... there's probably some troubleshooting I would need to do because I'm running Bootcamp.
I like the concept. I actually explored the idea of a racing/TD hybrid as my LD entry this year and you pulled off something I thought would take me too long to do :) - that includes the "left hand steers, right hand manages the TD aspects" big. The elephant/birds concept is super weird but I like that you're like "Hey, I'll just throw in a bunch of crazy ideas!" That's what LD is for!
On MS Edge, the game wouldn't load.
Works fine on Firefox!
