Doomsday Defense by unpronounceable

made by unpronounceable for LD25 (COMPO)

A tower defense style game. Highlight guns by moving the mouse over them. Press up, W, or 8 on the numpad to transfer energy from your fortress to the highlighted gun. Press down, S, or 2 on the numpad to transfer energy from your highlighted gun to your fortress. When the volcano is smoking left click to fire a bomb at that spot. The more energy your fortress has the quicker you win, but the more energy your guns have the faster they shoot.

Have had some people who couldn't get the game to load, the preloader was stuck at 0. If you have this problem try the Flash Basic version.

Really enjoyed playing this.
As you said, had to use Flash basic as got stuck at 0% (usng Chrome)

Good, simple core idea, well executed. Only significant complaint would be that the game could do with a clearer indicator of how charged the volcano is (colour fading was okay, but something more as well would be better). A pleasant few minutes of villainy - good job.

Nice variety of enemies (particularly like the ones with the shield that only you can destroy). It's a bit too easy in the beginning though.

Cool game, but I thought it was a little too easy, at least at first, the auto turrets would kill the bad guys long before the got anywhere close to the volcano. Cool game though well done.

I like the idea of adjusting gun power. Pacing really needs to be tuned though, way too easy for way too long. Keep it up!

Surprisingly fun little game (after getting it to run :/ ).

The beginning is a bit slow, but the core mechanic is neat. :)

The power distribution concept is nice, and the volcano ball got neat effects too. I also liked the music. But I feel the game is too slow-paced.

Cool, but I agree: too simple. Speed it up!

Nice idea with the power distribution.
It is however not challenging enough for a long time.
It could be a really great game if you develop it further.

Hehe, nice game! Took me some time to understand how to play, but when I got it it was really fun :)

Nice particles effects, nice music, novel gameplay mechanics. I like the energy transfer system. Well done :)
