Beetle Ballistic by irwatts

made by irwatts for LD 38 (COMPO)

Player controls four trebuchets, defending from an attacking army of stag beetles. Trebuchets launch balls of dung at approaching forces. Map is a sphere, with player looking down and no camera control. Enemies approach from all sides, first appearing on the world horizon and moving in toward your base. The goal is to prevent the horde from reaching your base at the center of the screen.

I must admit to being a little confused by this one! On my first play through I was getting to grips with the controls and then, despite feeling as though I was failing...this happened:

Obviously I am very glad that I won :grinning: but I really didn't realise I had - it felt like there were still lots of beetles needing to be destroyed!
Perhaps the dead beetles were confusing me and I thought they were still alive? If you're able to develop this further I would recommend removing the dead beetles.
