H.L.3t (Homeless Zet) by raincoven

[raw]
made by raincoven for LD30 (JAM)
This is tower defence game.

There is two planet Hot one and Cold one. To keep temperature balance the space heating main was build. This heating main connecting to world and help them to survive.
Unfortunately a great swarm of space homeless zergs decided to conquer this space magistral and you should make this newer happen!

HOW TO PLAY:
You able to build tourels and reabilitation Centers.
Tourel make 40 shots and coust 100 space credits. Every destroyed enemy brings you 2 space credits and 5 points. For boss you will get 10 credits and 20 points.

Rehabilitation Center can't harm big funny bears but able to socialise 5 homeless and brings 10 credits for each one and 20 score points. It costs 20 credits.

You goal is to survive as long as you can and collect maximum number of points.
The game ends then you lose 80% of heating main segments.

Good Luck,

Monochrome Bears team.

Why did you choose Enter key to create that things? You could just create it by clicking at the position. I'm not sure if I played correctly, just put a line of that things and reput when they are destroyed.

@renatopp you could create items in to clicks. First by the icon on the shop and second on the area there you want to place it.

Took a bit to get the hang of it. But its pretty fun once it gets going. Trying to fight back to the point of them not landing on the floor anymore.

Nice job =)

Not sure how the game works. I didn't quite understand your how to play instructions. I understood that you had to build towers to defend the pipes on the bottom of the screen but I didn't know what the domes did, I had no idea what was destroying my towers and what all the different enemies did. The only way I knew how to build towers was by dragging and dropping so it took me awhile to build especially when the tower icons are located on the top right of the screen. Rather interesting story though, with the hot and cold worlds supporting each other to survive.

I don't mean to be rude, just hoping to provide some constructive feedback!

@hundredhundred, thanks for suggestions. We totally need to learn some thing in game design and try to create game with more clear gameplay. Hope to achieve better result in next LD =)

I am not the owner of the game but for whoever tried to play and doesn't know the controls. Use your mouse to build turrets (100$ sprite on the top right of screen) and place it at the bottom of the screen.

I have to say it took me some time to understand what am I supposed to do. The instructions in the How to play aren't clear.

Anyway the first time I tried the game. I clicked a lot on random areas around the screen and nothing happened -- no tutorial no controls, nothing. So I wasn't sure what to do until the game almost lagged my entire PC (it seems you throw sprites down from the top screen and you don't destroy them so they pile up and lag the game).

I closed the game and ran it again and then noticed the tiny two icons on the top right. Turns out they are used to build stuff. The turret is the 100$ one and the other thing which I don't know what it is is for 20$. I played twice and both time died while not sure why I am dead.
There is no health bar or anything that indicates my death.

It is definitely an awkward game.

This was very strange but had some good elements. The graphics were very nice. I think better instructions at start would help.
