You are exploring a new planet using a drone. Unfortunately, this new planet has monsters that will come and destroy all your buildings. Try and keep them away from your Dock for as long as you can to gather as much information as possible.
GLHF!
HOW TO PLAY IT:
Items from the list of icons: 1. Pebble Turret 2. Wall 3. Miner 4. Archer Turret 5. Gun Turret
When you start, you'll see a building. That's your Dock. PROTECT IT AT ALL COST. It's destruction means GAME OVER!
Place Miners to gather ore for you and turrets to kill the enemies. Walls are great at keeping the enemies away from your buildings. Try and balance miners and turrets. DEFEND YOUR DOCK AT ALL COST. Hope I explained it correctly. Also, your Dock is your shop. To enter it left-click it, to exit it press ESC. Enjoy!

The game is good, but it takes ages to get into it, as there is no tutorial on what you need to do to survive. Apart from that, this is a brilliant jam game and the idea is great! Just needs some polish.
@squeg-inc Thanks for your input. Yeah, I unfortunately didn't get time to add a tutorial because I would've added one. Glad you enjoyed my game and idea!
I like that this was a little different than a standard "tower defense" game. I think the art needs some work, and some balancing on the cost of items to make them more usable. There was a lot of time in which i didnt feel like i could really do much of anything
Thanks for your feedback @gentoogames I have to agree that, at the beginning, it's very slow paced. Over time, it starts to grow In pace. Also, I have to agree that the art needs a TON of work and that some balancing needs to be done. Thanks for the feedback!
Looked interesting, but I couldn't place miners at all. I tried selecting the Miner building and left clicking on the map, but nothing happens. Did I miss something?
@joror restart the whole instance. The ore mechanic is made to spawn ores when the instance is opened and they're randomly placed around the map. So it's only luck on that
Sorry, I tried launching it a dozen times and panning around the map, but I haven't seen any ore patches. The whole map is always bare and the only thing is the dock in the middle, like this:
@randomnine hmmm.... This shouldn't have happened. I'll check it out and upload a fix if I find the issue. Ok so there doesn't seem to be an issue at all. Don't know why you can't find any ore, but for me it always spawns them.
This looks like a fun game, but I haven't rated it yet, as I'm unable to get the miners to build, preventing me from progressing. Is that a bug with the current version, or am I doing something incorrectly? I'm able to build my initial turret by clicking it and clicking on the map, but no matter what combination of clicks I try to use for the miners, they do not place (I have 3 in my inventory, as far as I can tell). Are there specific nodes they must be placed atop, or should I be able to set them down anywhere?
@thereal-infinite Scoured the entire map in a grid pattern and was not able to locate any ores =( I took a quick dig through your source code, and the ores and background tilemap are all on the same sorting layer and ID, which means Unity may magically decide to display one over another on any given machine (which seems to be happening for a few of us). You can fix that pretty easily by changing the sorting order of the ore to something larger than 0. You will then need to adjust some of the other sprites' sorting orders as well, but it will ensure that they display properly on all machines =)

Am I missing a UI thing somewhere to find ore?
