Monstroyka / Algae Eaters

This game started as something vaguely inspired by the Grow series; now it’s a sandbox tower defence. Also, in my extremely humble, unbiased opinion, it’s pretty cool.

Link is here, with a standing bug involving complex mazes. (Sorry.) May try to create an improved version later, involving more stuff and a fix to that bug, but it’s pretty okay right now.

Early game.

If you encounter any bugs besides that one (it’ll manifest as the red dudes attacking your towers when you’ve left them a clear path), please leave a comment. Also: Enjoy! (If possible.)

(Note: If you haven’t found a way to use stone, you haven’t seen everything there is yet.)

Edit: new version here, with a number of bug fixes and improvements. Feedback totally welcomed.

Edit Edit: Even newer version! Will probably move future updates to a Tigsource thread henceforth. Huzzah!

I think it is because you make things, and also you have guys, and they go thwip thwip thwip! That would be my guess.

Sooo… What’s gold for? XD

Same as in Mario! (Except without the 1ups, I guess.)

Are you working on it? Will you make it a full game? ^^

I played until it stopped spawning guys for me! I wasn’t sure why they wouldn’t spawn, maybe it was a bug.

Wow, you played for a while! There were a bunch of “not spawning more dudes” bugs in that version, though mostly with the blue froods, not the red mooks. (I’m assuming that you mean it wouldn’t spawn any more enemies.) I just uploaded a new version with a bunch of bug fixes and a new enemy and tower, and, thanks to your advice and that of one of my other testers, a darker background. More forthcoming in future, hopefully.

I started late, but still went over my 48 hours.

I used my Large Polygon Collider engine for the physics (with many modifications). It would have been much quicker to just use Bullet, but I learnt a lot more this way.

increpare: it’s not very intuitive, but you can change the size of the brush by moving the mouse left/right while you’re dragging.

the linux build ran but just said “Unable to set video mode: Invalid width or height”. Is there a way to get it to run in windowed mode or something? Otherwise I’ll try the windows one later tonight..

Hmm, it sounds like it can’t detect your screen resolution but I’m not sure why that might happen.

done, finally :) this evening was all about fixing a single bug. i took saturday evening off. anyway; i’m counting it as 48 hours.

Windows (1MB)
OSX 10.5+ (Intel)(2MB)
Source (14KB)

EDIT: the previous version had nasty assert in it that caused it to crash at some generations. new version fixes this bug, tweaked the algorithm significantly, and, maybe most importantly, fixed the fact that it was outputting the wrong notes ;p

Wow.. that’s amazing. And incredibly frustrating. You need to make a “nearly-tone-deaf” mode for people like me. :) This could turn into a whole new musical instrument..
