SkyIsle TD by Inventivum Games

Play on itch.io (tried uploading here but it only works on itch)
ran out of time for the audio as I only had two days for this one.
A simple tower defense, where you balance your defense with the erosion you cause to the island. How high can you score?
Controls:
Escape to pause
W,A,S and D to move.
Space to jump
Mouse to look.
Left click to build
Right click to cancel and Upgrade
Q and E to switch buildings.
Guide:
Build towers to protect your Crystal.
Towers increase erosion.
Build retaining walls to slow erosion.
Build mining drills to gain credits.
mining drills reduce erosion but they will eventually break the tile they are placed on.

@themixedmaster Had the same thing While developing it ended being my controller as I did add controller support.
@derek-glennon Yes, I totally agree, I unfortunately didn't get time to actually play through it normally so the balance is definitely off.
In terms of gameplay, it was fun and had some good depth with the range of weapons and their different abilities. I feel like it could have scaled a little faster in the early game because it took too long to acquire new gear. Just making sandbags cheaper would have been good, so I could start dictating pathing even though I was broke.
Overall, a nice fun game!
With a bit of work this could be a nice TD variant I think.
