Defend the ancient stasis tank holding a powerful guardian from hords of evil robots who would doom humanity.

The objective is to defend the tank untime the time runs out. When an enemy attacks the tank, the health bar at the top of the screen will drop. If the health reaches 0 and the subject in the tank dies, you loose. If you can survive till the end of the time, you win.

Controls

Mouse and keyboard work, but a controller is recommended.

Mouse and Keyboard

  • Mouse to aim
  • Left click fires
  • ASDW Move

Gamepad

  • Left stick moves
  • Right stick aims
  • Right trigger fires

Fun things

  • Spiders use producedual animations...
  • Sound effects where quite rushed so they're awful :D
  • I had to completely redo it all in the morning on the last day, so the terrain textures and rocks are Megascans

@magali-mingo Thanks! It was so rushed that I'm surprised I managed to make it look any good haha

Game worked super good, i didnt see a single bug and everything looked nice.
Beat the game flawlessly on the first go. Fire rate was so high and enemies kept coming in lines, making it easy to line myself up and kill 10 of them in a second.
With good character placement I could shoot all enemies without moving.

I honestly kind of like how slow it is to turn the cursor around and that the large enemies sneak up from behind. I can see them creeping up and have to make some thoughtful movements to not lose terribly.

@rooftopdog Great! The fire rate is actually as fast as you can click the mount button - I wanted to add a delay and maybe an ammo mechanic but ran out of time :smile:

Nice work on the animations and the general look of this. Was really interesting to play, especially after intriguing me with a 1.8gb download! We played this on stream and everyone liked the animations!
