- Didn't get as much done as I wanted as I was sick over the weekend, but was able to put something together.
I also seem to have submitted to `Jam` rather than `Compo`, fun times.

There was no playtesting, everything is in a somewhat placeholder state as I just couldn't force myself to do it :(, and just gave up so I could get some rest.

The aim of the game is to stop the evil box people from escaping their city by employing some cute animals.
If they escape, they will deliver slapped bottoms and broken purchases! Don't let it happen.

Theme was hamfisted in, had some more plans but couldn't get it done unfortunately.


An incremental(ish) TD(ish).

With that said, the controls when you get into the game are:
- Click on a box to recruit a tower
- Click on a recruited tower to upgrade / delete it
- Click on `Next Wave` button to generate a new wave
- Click on `Wave+` button (bottom left) to increase number of enemies per wave
- Click on `Enemy+` to increase HP and Gold value of enemies spawned
- Esc to pause and toggle CRT mode
- Click `Cheat?` to increase enemy gold by 1
- Click `Auto` and set to `ON` to auto wave every 15s



Score is the sum of damage done to enemies

Pause Screen



You can turn off the CRT here... but why would you?

Auto Waves



When turned on will remove need to manually spawn enemies.
Each wave will start 15s after last enemy is removed.

Cheats?



For now each click increases enemy gold by 1
Don't Ever Let it get out how to enable them, 4x games are pretty cool!
