Tesla Defence by Sun-Wukong
Protect your base by charging up your Tesla Towers. You can recharge at the generator at the center of the base.
Contols - arrows or WASD.
This time I tried to keep scope small to finish in time for Compo but it still wasn't small enough, I should be more humble, really. So there is only minimum core gameplay implemented. Other enemy types and proper level system got scrapped as well as metagame and pausing, now it is just infinite survival mode. I'm afraid it is not so fun to play.
Used Godot Engine for this one again. Graphics made in Krita. Sound effects are generated and edited ones from free sources. Menu music - Sibelius + FL Studio.

You're definitely right about the need to scope down! I've had the same problems too, and now I build a toy until the last 6 hours and I turn that into... Something. With scores :)
**Overall game impression:** Graphics are great, sounds are great, gameplay is smooth and creative. very coo and enjoyable. I liked it.
**Suggestions and comments on improvement:** Visible score would definitely be a plus, as mentioned by @exr . After awhile more enemy types or maybe another level with more towers to recharge? Awesome overall)
p.s. check out my game as well please.
What would've been really nice for ingame feedback is to also show that the player character would be charging the pylons, but that they're already full. Even intensifying the lightning bar on the pylons while the character would be in range would've probably prevented me from only figuring out that you were supposed to be charging them in my 2nd playthrough.
The Electricity effect was certainly the star of the show, It seemed like you put a fair amount of time into that and the rest of the graphics were pretty well done as well. I'd have just liked to see a little more gameplay. Still it was pretty good. Well done.
