Ember by Darkwater
Woah, I've probably spend a little too much time on this.
Anyway!
I've made a tower defense game. There are 4 levels, and the enemies are randomly generated. Bosses also randomly spawn, marking the end of a "wave". Difficulty rises with time. In addition to the 3 towers you can build, you can also run around and shoot things yourself!
I've made a stream replacement page (before the compo started, of course :v) that contains some highlights, and soon a timelapse. http://novaember.com/ld/
If you want to play it on Linux, get LOVE through your package manager (be sure to get v0.9.0!) or from http://love2d.org/
Now if you'll excuse me, I'm going to get some sleep!
PS.: It's an endurance game, there's no winning! c:<
PPS.: I forgot to remove some debug features. (Don't) press mouse 3 to lose and mouse 2 for slow motion.
PPPS.: Looks like I should have added some instructions. In case it's unclear to you, you're the blue circle. You can walk around with the WSAD keys, and shoot with the mouse. You can only place towers near yourself.
PPPPS.: With low framerates, fast enemies can get stuck circling around checkpoints. Hold mouse 2 as a temporary fix.

conf.lua:6: attempt to index field 'window' (a nil value)
This game was made for a version that is probably incompatible.
The game might still work, but it is not guaranteed.
Furthermore, this means one should not judge this game or the engine if not.
