Shipyard power struggle by Norticks
RTS/Tower defence made with monogame by me same user (Nordel/nortick)
first game i made for LD. Theme didnt come completely forward since ship reparing isnt implemented.
!Updates! 1.1 more balanced, faster deadscreen, and controls are now accesable.
Prevent the pirates from stealing your power. build ships by clicking top bar. leftmouse drag to select. rightmouse click / drag to position
!unoptimized may lag with alot of units! !Need to balance it out!

@matkubik will play your game. :p indeed not many are made in monogame altough i ahve seen some coco
Alright so, I've always been a fan of rts so I might be a little biased. I thought it was fun to play, but it felt a little too slow (takes too long for enemies to come in, only one wave of enemies come at a time instead of multiple). Enemy units on the mini map are also a little hard to see with the dark red on black background. I guess I also would of preferred if it was zoomed out a bit, but that might be personal preference.
I did like the concept of it though since it was fun to control the ships and have them mow down the pirates, and still pretty solid for making in such a small time. Good work!
It's an interesting change on tower defense when you can move your towers and they can also die. I ended up kiting all the bad guys instead of walling out so it took a bit of awareness to make it through.
The pace was a little slow like others have said, but it feels like the game was designed with that in mind. I had a bit of difficulty scrolling the map: having a full screen option would solve it.

Not a bad start for an RTS, but it needs a lot of polish. And of course, balance :) Overall the feeling I got from the game was hopelessness, with no chance of getting enough energy to defend myself. Probably needs resources or something other than just building units. Good job anyway :)
