You play as Dotty, the president of the engineer club. Dotty is a yandere and decides to capture her senpai who she loves very much. You must set up towers in typical tower defence fashion to protect your love.
Honestly, when I started this I thought a tower defence game kind of fit the theme because the enemies are forced into a confined space and with the way I set this one up there aren't a huge number of "spaces" to place turrets. The end result kind of just ended up feeling like it's "running out of space" in the vaguest way possible, but maybe it still passes.
I didn't have a huge amount of time to balance the game amazingly well for obvious reasons but I tried to make it so that players might feel that it's acceptable to sell towers during a wave in order to set up or upgrade a different tower in a better "space" but I don't really know if I managed to accomplish that, you can definitely win this game without selling any towers.
About the magnets - They just do a small amount of DPS to everything in range, I wanted them to slow everything too but I didn't have time to get the code working
Very small update : Increased the volume of pretty much everything because I had it set low while I was working on the project and forgot about it
Project Details:
Graphics - Clip Studio Paint, Aseprite and Game Character Hub
Sounds - Magix Music Maker and Audacity
Engine - Unreal 4
All assets were made by me during the jam time.
Was a real rush because of work on the Monday and getting stuck for most of Saturday on 1 section of script but it all kind of came together just in time for the submission time thankfully.
haha, it was really nice! enjoyed this game a lot. it's true that there are some bugs with the ui and overall, the game was fairly easy plus i'm not sure what are magnets supposed to do, but i had fun nevertheless. thanks for your game!
@zozol Yeah I didn't have time to clean up the UI before it came time to submit but at least no matter how much you end up opening you can always close them all by spamming the exit buttons so it isn't game breaking lol
The magnets do a small amount of tick damage to everything in its range (meant to counter the accult girls who are resistant to bullets and cannons). I wanted to also make it so that everything within magnet range had their speed reduced but I just couldn't get it to work and ended up giving up on that
@xwilarg Yeah not a bad idea, if I had more time I would have added a lot more stuff to balance the game a bit more but pretty much all the issues in the game right now can be summed up to me just being a slow coder
Good game. I've got a bit of advice: when placing a tower don't put the tower texture over the mouse pointer, put it above and to the side, maybe extend an arrow from it to the pointer. Makes it seem more polished.
Hey, that was a nice game ;) I liked how they said "senpai" after you killing them haha, i am a lot into tower defense games, so yeah i liked it. The song it's relaxing too, it is nice to play and all, good job!
I wrote a tower defense game for LD a couple years ago, so I understand the challenges involved. You did a good job here. The graphics were pretty good and audio funny. I did have a problem where the rightmost part of the screen was cut off for me. It didn't prevent me from playing, but was a bit inconvenient. Nice work overall!
loved it! good job putting this together on such short notice ! the game could use a little more action and stress tho, it gets boring quickly. but it still is a good game !
Nice game, Love how everything is balanced! Good luck, Don't forget to take a look at ours if you don't mind and see what it's like when we just focused on graphics in this game jam! Game Link: https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/42/spacelab-42a

Maybe it would be great to have an option to increase the speed of the game ?

Pros:
- Senpai is now mine
- Assets!
Cons:
- Too easy
- I also didn't know what the magnet was for
Obs:
I guess if the towers weren't upgradable the there would be the problem of not enough space?
Cheers!
