tower on each side.\r\nadd some fences and spike trap,survive a few waves.\r\nwhen you reach 900 credits you win.\r\n\r\nthe monsters are weak at the first 10 waves,after that you will need traps and turrets.\r\nthey have an attack timer so if you hit them fast you wont get hurt.\r\n\r\nthe monsters will attack farms at random, you will have a small amount of time to save the farm when they reach it.\r\n\r\n\r\n\/\/\/\/\/\/devlopment experience\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\r\n\r\nthis is my second ludum dare.\r\n\r\ni wanted to make a top down shooter. but becuse of the theme i made a top down slasher.\r\nthe genre i choose was arcade defence. its easy to implement and ive done this before (i have a tower defence framework prototype and other defence type games under my belt).\r\nafter the first day and all the bugs and proformnce issus my dom based js engine have.\r\ni realised i wont be able to implement everything i wanted it wasnt realistic.\r\ni droped sound effects and ui...\r\n\r\nnext time i wont be using it im moving on to phaser,it has everything i need and more, plus i can port my framework on top of it so my workflow wont change.\r\n\r\nthe code of this game is a mess becuse of time pressure usually i try to be more efficent and create reusable methods and classes.\r\ni manged to create two behaviors before it went to hell, i had to sacrifice alot to be able to make time for everything.\r\nwriting this,uploading the game to github. creating a small 8bit track and a logo (almost two hours).\r\nalso i had to use a gif recorder to record gameplay.\r\n\r\ni created the --game art-- on the first day, im a programmer not an artist.\r\n\r\nin the last ludum dare it was easier i only had to implement 2-4 mechanics to create. an original game is harder to create.\r\nand most of the time 2-4 mechanics is not enough.\r\n\r\nbut as i get used to it i will be able to take larger scope two day projects.\r\n\r\n\r\nludum dare have thought me alot about myself,my tools ,self discipline,staying calm under pressure,setting goals,and \"finishing\" another game.\r\nthis compo\/jam is great for the aspiring game developer, which is a dream of alot of us.\r\ni hope one day i will get into the indie industry and make a living from what i love to do.\r\n\r\n------critique-------\r\nif you have any critique shot. i know of alot of bugs. but
