Tree of Life by SantaClausNL

[raw]
made by SantaClausNL for Ludum Dare 46 (JAM)

Hello there, we are Brandon(16) and Yoran(17). This is a tower defense game in which you have to keep the Tree of Life alive from a termite infestation. Randomly generated maps and infinite waves keep the game fresh everytime you play.

All art is made by us (mostly Yoran) and all of the programming, including the custom game engine (not made during the jam of course 😄) was done by Brandon.

If you find any bugs or would just like to share your high score, we'd love to see you down in the comments 🤗.

I had to try to see how many times I could click next wave before the horde of ants engulfed the tree, I got to 144

For a tower defense game it is perfect. But I can get fustrated when the canon dosen't hit perfectly.

Cool Game! When the wave consisted of some slow and strong tank bugs, I wished for a fast forward button, but nonetheless a nice entry :sweat_smile: :thumbsup: Especially impressive considering your age!

Really nice game, got to 27 and then started spamming the wave button and died at 92...
It would be better if you just had to hover to collect wood as it gets tedious, otherwise a really great game

Nice integration of the theme in a tower defence game. Would have liked to get tooltips on what the buildings do. I liked the forestry mechanic for getting more wood over time.

Died at wave 79 the game is really good but lack of sound also the fast and high hp termites are the only ennemies that lowered my HP I think they are too much OP

Great entry. It took me a couple of goes to figure out what each building did and determine a strategy that worked. Some more indication of how each building shoots would be a nice to have. The random level generation was a great addition. Thanks for the game.

Nice Game. I was a bit frustrated in the beginning because the towers waren't able to hit anny thing until I found out you have to upgrade them before they are able to hit with anny precision. Espatialy with the fast ants it seems a bit random if you are able to hit them or not becaus they are moving faster than the projectiles.

Fun! Reminds me of browser games I used to play! Also I managed to speedrun to wave 123 by mashing the wave button :D

You guys made a good game! I managed to last quite a while by just using the basic spray can. It was annoying how the cannon could never hit its target. Some audio would have been nice, even if it was just simple sound effects. Great job on your game!
