The memes have spread and a raid is imminent on Area 51. You are a military personnel assigned to deal with this task. The government gives you no weapons to work with except for rocks. However, they will pay you greatly for dealing with the raiders and you can increase your arsenal. Can you protect Area 51 from normies and Naruto runners?

Controls:
Switch weapons: 1 & 2
Shoot: left mouse click

The original plan called for more weapons, but we didn't have time to draw all of them.

Basically playing a meme, thought the naruto runners would be faster.
Trying to figure out what to do with all this cash now, and what the spells were

Definitely got that classic flash aesthetic down. The Naruto runners aren't that fast for sure

It was fun to play, even though I couldn't figure out what "spells" were. I especially liked the animation between shop and gameplay. Overall nice game, but a bit too easy.

Brutal, very powerful airstrike :rofl: what am I shooting during the first wave?

Interesting take on tower defense games - interesting how much firing speed changes the entire experience. Love the MiB transition!

The gameplay was absolutely hilarious. Loved the transitions, audio, and naruto runners.

As I started this game I thought from the graphics it would be trash. Don't judge a book by its cover though. The gameplay was really fun, the weapons were diverse and funny. I just think it could've followed the theme a bit more.

A simple and fun game powered by memes :rofl:

I quite like the idea that you start out by throwing rocks ^^

Game play works well and everything functions well. Has a aesthetic that it works with and sticks to well. Wish there was a way to turn down the music of the game (common problem with entries). Pretty good.

@space-nomad yeah it wasn't exactly a bug. We just didn't get around to drawing assets for all the upgrades, so we disabled people from buying them. Thanks for the nice feedback and for playing the game!

Came for the memes, wasn't disappointed, even if it could have used more memes.

I really like the scene change animation. My main advice would be to make the game a bit harder :).

Wish I was able to see what the other weapons were! Lost the pizzazz once I couldn't upgrade anymore. Is that a potato launcher at the beginning?

The scene change animation was the best part for sure. Very creative. I hope you had fun making the game!

The difficulty curve is way too shallow. I only ever took a single hit to my wall and that's because I tried to get fancy with an air strike once. If I had stuck to my guns (ba-dum-tish) I wouldn't have even taken that hit, and later rounds felt easier than that even.

@heyycap something like that lol. Original idea was a rock, but uh... interpretations have been different.

Quite fun game indeed :) At some point, when i pressed "Begin next wave" the screen stayed white and i could not continue :( Apart from that a fun game!
