Umbrella Defender by Almost
Defend the world from strange alien creatures with your trusty umbrella.
============================================
WASD to move, mouse to attack with the umbrella. Stop swinging the umbrella in order to use it as a shield.
There is no win condition, just see how long you can last.
Sorry that it's hard, I didn't spend enough time on balancing.
Tips: enemies are briefly stunned when they take damage. You can kill the melee enemies without taking damage by attacking while running away from them. It's probably worth taking a single hit in order to take out a ranged enemy faster, since you die by being overrun more often than by taking small amounts of damage many times.
============================================
This is built with Unity's web export. If there are any functionality or performance issues let me know and I can probably make a desktop version or something. I tried embedding, but ended up having scrollbars and some strange behaviour with the iframe not having input focus.
The UI and menu are pretty rough, no music..
If you manage to live through all of the wave patterns, they repeat but at a higher frequency.

I think it will be better if opening the umbrella will repel the enemies a little bit to give you some breathing room.
