The Gardener Queen by Cobear25

[raw]
made by Cobear25 for LD 44 (JAM)

A fun strategy/tower defense/farming simulator game.

Just for web right now, but I can get a Mac build up if the web version doesn't run well.

This was originally a Compo project, all code, art, and sound is original by me, but I just didn't have enough time to finish within 48 hours. I wish I could have dedicated more time to it because I think it's quite fun. Enjoy!

Nice and pixel stylish. After a while (and several tries) I think I got into the birth / build / devour cycle until I suddendly was ambushed by loads of these attackers which my turrets did not kill fast enough (at about 90 points). Music was a bit repetitive, but thats ok. All in all a fun experience, I liked it. Good job for an "almost" compo!

@zondarg Thanks! Yeah, that ambush could be smoothed out for sure. But it's possible to last a little longer if you stock up on turrets.

I liked the concept, I think the worker spawner ball broke the game though... Once I had that I could infinitely place build podiums and have all the health and attack I wanted... I don't know if it would break the balance but it would have also been nice to choose the worker type as well.

Nice work!! I seemed pretty invincible after I had spawned a bunch of attack turrets and a fair amount of heart turrets, but it was fun figuring out the best strategy. Seems like there should be a steady increase in the rate of attackers. Got to a 100 points before I stopped!
I think it would be interesting if space consideration was more of a thing. Maybe the turrets each take a different amount of space, or degrade/disappear after a while? Upgrades would be cool too! That's my favorite part of tower defense games... unlocking those super powerful towers!
Really impressive work to finish all on your own!!

Nice game, but it's a bit unbalanced. It's too easy to win and not enough challenge, but it's still great game that can be developed further.

A linear tower defense game – it’s an interesting idea. In terms of graphics I thought you did a good job with the queen. The music was a bit repetitious, but overall this is a playable game that I found to be challenging enough.
