Created for GMTK2K18 Game Jam. The theme is "[Genre] Without [Mechanic]". I decided to do a tower defense game, but without the building/placement mechanic. You play a little dude in charge of three towers on the creep road. You have to reload the weapons, fire them, and upgrade the towers, all from within the tower!

Arrow Keys - Move
X - Grab Ammo from crate
X - Load Ammo in to weapon
X - Upgrade the tower you're currently in (unlimited as of v0.1)
Down - to climb down bottom left ladder, and go to another tower

Getting some strange numbers in the game. (see negative value).

Thanks dw. In the build you were playing, upgrades were free, so if you went above a certain point (lv 120 or so) it would overflow the variable and cause a negative.

The jam I was making this for is over, and a stable build has been added. I didn't have time for sound/bgm, but gameplay is solid.

Thanks for the feedback. :)

This is quite fun! Thanks for the game :)

If I can make suggestions:

  • would be great to have two stairs in middle tower to decide where to go
  • could also be a tunnel (using the bottomost row of the screen), walking instead of teleporting could add pressure
  • would be great to see stats for each tower (different sprites for upgrade level or number, number for ammo)
  • more levels! :)
