This is my first ever time doing a Ludum Dare, I hope you enjoy it! I've been wanting to try experimenting with a mix between Towns + Terraria, and though this is far from the breadth or depth of either of those, it has convinced me that a side-scrolling town simulation could be a lot of fun!\r\n \r\nThe game should be playable through to the end (3 waves of attackers) in about 15 minutes (my two play testers took 8 and 16 minutes though one didn't win and the other was obsessive...). The theme of this Ludum Dare is applied fairly subtly and some things will only make sense after completing the game.\r\n\r\nTools Used:\r\n libGlov (Game Library of Victory) - C++ - MSVC2013\r\n Bfxr\r\n Photoshop 6.0 (No, not CS 6.0, but 6.0, yeah, from last millennium)\r\n Mtn Dew\r\n","title":"Doomed Settlers"}
