Turret Maniac by Wukkopi

[raw]
made by Wukkopi for LD25 (COMPO)
You play as a maniac who just loves turrets! Use your mouse to drag and drop turrets, to hold your site against police officers. Longer drags use more resources, but creates bigger coverage for the turret. Try to kill as many officers before they destroy your hideout!

Couldn't run it on Windows 7 32-bit. Maybe I need to have something installed? But I dunno...

@adnzzzzZ: Do you have XNA 4.0 runtime installed?

I installed the XNA Runtime and now it runs fine! It took me a while to figure out that the blue lines = turret coverage angle! But other than that the game was fine. I found that the best strategy was to do a double line behind the base instead of just circling it, which was surprising.

It could have used some indicator whenever the police officers were attacking your base (like when the turrets are attacking them a red line appears), though.

Simple entry, a bit too easy. With some well placed turrets it is impossible for officers to reach the hideout.

One tip: Rename the game's exe to the same name of the entry. I downloaded a bunch of games together and then I had troubles finding your game's entry page again.

Nice idea! Some animations/effects/music and stuff would have made this an even better game. Tower defence in a new way! 89 kills was my record ^^

Unique take on the tower defense genre. Could've used more types of guns.

A simple tower defense game, and well enough programmed. It was actually fun trying to stay alive as long as possible, though I felt the mood could have used some work. I suppose I was fighting against police officers as well, but I just don't think the villain theme showed enough. Regardless, good job, this was a fun little game.

Good turret defense game.
Once I figured out how to set the turret angle while placing it, I got a little better.

Nice idea based on tower defense and simple game mechanics make the game easy to learn.

Nice game. It would have been nice to have more turrets and weapons.
