Ballistica by SimonBeats
The last battle of world war III and all there is left to do is keep the last missile alive to fire at the enemy.
Place buildings, like turrets and walls around your missile to protect it from approaching infantry and vehicles.

Overall a nice little tower defense game.
(P.S: The first airstrike gave me a heart attack. :) )
Awesome game!
The graphics are nice, I think with a bit more time the overall UI could have looked a bit better, but it still is fine especially for a game made in 48h!
Making a tower-defense kind of game for this theme is an amazing idea, and the premise of this game is pretty nice!
My only real complaint is about the lack of info on what each object does in game, maybe a popup text that would appear when hovering the object would be nice!
Overall, nice little game!

Manually adjusting the turret shooting feels a bit too much. Maybe consider some auto shooting + manual override?
But the game is fun, and it has a surprising amount of variety in terms of enemies. The text boxes between waves was also nice. the little beeps and boops as the text was written out was nice and satisfying. I also like that you incorporated a tutorial to the game rather than just dump a rules and controls explanation at the beginning. Great entry!
My only issue with it is that the turrets only fired in one direction and I didn't know where the wave would come. If they followed the target I think it would be perfect. Great work!
