LudumData

The Triblal Tree by MajorLeagueBaker

[raw]
made by MajorLeagueBaker for LD31 (COMPO)
An almost tower defense game that focuses on saving a sacred tree from a buggy destruction.
(This is my first time trying to fully make a game, and I have to say it was fun)

I'm not sure what is causing this problem for some people but:
1. make sure the folder is extracted
2. make sure the .jar is next to the res folder
Other than that, please notify me of any other problems that you have experienced.

TO PLAY:
1) your little villagers will follow your cursor
2) huts(spawn villagers over time)
3) use your villagers to defend the tree from the bugs.

This is a neat little game. Resources seem to generate a bit too slow for how many bugs spawn. Cool idea none-the-less.

Interesting game, but the balancing is off, perhaps increase rate of earning money?

Interesting idea. I like the more unit control based tower defense idea you've implemented. Perhaps more unit/enemy types would have made it more interesting.

Also "open Pandora for audio." lol XD

Nice concept, although it seems a bit unbalanced. I tried several different tactics, but all basically were doomed :)
I like the interpretation of Tower Defense!

I like the idea of it, but it would be nice to be able to control units more individually. also, the window is way bigger than the actual game, and the art is bad. Use squares next time. Also music please.

Enjoyed it, good concept, was unbalanced. No way of getting very far. Consider making eating a bug give you money, or increase that rate, or increase spawn rate. Keep it up

Interesting idea. Very Hard. Spent too much on people i think and couldn't upgrade anything.

Complex idea and it had to involve some careful programming. Congrats on your submission.

Fun little game. I think you have a pretty cool idea. It wasn't clear what was killing my own units and how to gain resources. With some more work I think this could really turn into something, nice little prototype though, keep it up!
