Tribute to Tower Defense games.
Game is really fun, but due to lack of time, the graphics are too simple and game has no sound or music :(
After this Mini LD, will try to make a version with sounds and music.

Enjoy :D

Hint: If you feel the game is too hard, there is a secret keyboard cheat to make game easier and recover lives. Think about 3/4 keys at the same time :P Much talking?

This game is SO HARD! I can't even beat level 1 after 7 tries.

superjoe30 Jul 2013, 05:22

It might be easier if the game paused when you were next able to build something and then resumed when you clicked. That way it's strategy, not "can I click fast enough to not lose"

OK I tried harder and I got to 4chan. Nice job this really made me laugh and it was fun. I think you could have ramped up the difficulty a little bit slower though.

Thanks! Grats :D4chan is the last website of the game. Tried to make the game challenging, but it's true that the first level got hard after tweaking the rest of the levels. Will try to change that on the next revision of the game :)

The fact that this game is hard it makes it really funny.

DMT30 Jul 2013, 23:03

Very hard. Very funny. I'm both happy and trolled.

Haha, awesome game! This is truly a great artifact of internet culture.

Thx everyone :D
If you wanna see the epic ending of the game, the cheat code is "STFU". Press the 4 keys together on a level to refill credibility and instant build anything.

haha, very hard but I like the universe, very fun :)

Like the others, i can say that this game is very hard, but I prefer take it as a challenge :)!

Very hard, but I loved the game idea and enjoyed it once I got to grips with it!

I came into this expecting to defend trolls. That's now what this game is about at all :(

Great humour. :)

Thx everyone for your feedback :D
In the next version (after ludum dare) gonna make the time stop while building and the first two levels easier(as well as better graphics and sound) :)

Very challenging! I started enjoying (and winning) the game when I ignored the advice in the tutorial ("start with weak towers"), and went straight for the big guns.

Now my only real gripe with the game is that I can't control or predict the direction the two blocking towers will face.

donanauthor2 Aug 2013, 22:22

The direction of the captchas is always clockwise. I should show a hint while hovering the icon :)
Thx for your feedback :D

I found a way to cheat in this game.
You can spam towers by first placing a tower and then press where the towers in the meny were. The press your tower again. Then you can press an area and place another tower. I managed to spam a lot of admin towers very fast.
Not sure exactly how i did it, but if you spam like that, a building in progress becomes a buildt building with a progress bar on it, when you select a new spot.

Thx Zer0XoL, it was an easy fix :D
Forgot to check a var on builder buttons that everything else had :)
Also slightly adjusted the first wave time of levels 1 and 2.
