Finite earth - build and expand the earth to protect the planet from astroids.
a 360 tower defense ish game!

Goal: Build different machines to gain resources and don't let Earth die, and protect it from incoming asteroids by building Laser Turrets.
You have 30 seconds before asteroids come!
Game over when one of the resources reach 0. Be careful!
There is no ending just try to survive as long as you can until you get bored :p
Good luck!

Tips:

-Game is paused while in the shop, so you dont gain materials while in shop, and asteroids don't come, so take your time!

-You lose materials passively by time and if asteroids hit earth!

Known Bugs (We plan to polish and further develop the game in the future)

-You can buy from the shop even though you don't have enough materials, so before buying look at your materials.

-Asteroids should spawn more and more you play the game, but its all the same!

-Music changes when game goes out of focus.

Controls

Left Mouse Button - Place Building

Middle Mouse Button - Cancel Building

Right Mouse Button - Rotate Earth

Super solid, had a lot of fun. Wanted the difficulty to ramp up a bit more as I played, but I know that there are time constraints!
Keep working on this game, very creative approach to the Tower Defense Genre

I had fun playing, just like stated before it would have been cool to have more to it. But the time constraint gets ya right when you want to add more. It was a great game! Continue to refine it, and it will be a really great game!

@beanslasher @generalbeans Will keep note to make it more difficult. Will add more stuff to the game, but yeah time constraint got me xD. Thank you both for the feedback!

My pleasure, I hope all works out well :D

Interesting take on tower defense and resource management. If you keep working on this, I'd suggest making it easier to visualize the rate of change of the resources.

It's really not bad! I had not understood everything at the beginning, but later had fun

Man this game has a lot of potential! Keep it up Slimenian! I had a lot of fun with it.

@mimusangel Oh I guess I have to make a tutorial so its easier to understand.
@no-grapes-games Yeah I need to improve on visual, we will keep working on it :D

Game was fun, would love to see this polished a little more with a bit more content would make a great mobile game. For the time restraint you guys did really well with this one well done!

This is a fun little game; I think adding keys to spin the planet would have been a huge quality of life improvement, but it's an interesting and unique take on the tower defense game. Definitely build on this, I think you have something here.

@lillybyte Thanks for feedback, will definetly improve the camera and try polishing it in the future.

Really pleased you took part in LD! This was a good game, had an intriguing game system in place where I felt I wanted to try again and do better. Sometimes it feels you get to positions you cant come back from - maybe adding the option to destroy existing things for resources would fix that. Also for future scope if expanded, different worlds would be good, where only certain things can be built on certain terrain - to make strategies need to be devised for different planets (rather than just cover roughly all of the planet).

@honest-dan I had planned to add sell feature, but time got me :p. Will take note on making different types of planets/worlds, with specific placements and functionality. We plan to polish and make it better!
I really appriciate your feedback, thanks again for playing it!

Not bad for being your first ld-entry! Impressing! I hope to see you in the next jam as well. :D

Game's a little tough to start, but you can definitely get a good defense going up if you know what you're doing. It's pretty good!
Slimenian1 May 2019, 18:00
@dudum-lare thanks! But probably wont be, it was a rare occasion I even participated in this one. We will see ;)
JofersGames1 May 2019, 19:35
This has a ton of potential, you should totally keep working on it post LD, great job :D

Not bad! Music was catchy, although I would suggest putting some type of fade between tracks (or even a fade at the end of the track if it was just the one). One thing I would have liked was that the shop's contents was just on the main screen instead of having to click to a shop menu, just from a UX standpoint. I think this game has some potential and would be super cool to see this developed further. Good job!

Thanks for hanging out on the stream, as well. Here's the link to the stream. Your game should start around [02:54:55].
