Signal Baiter by LerpMcGerk

[raw]
made by LerpMcGerk for Ludum Dare 59 (JAM)

A simple tower defense incremental where you bait innocent aliens to you using a signal, before you destroy them with weapons and loot their ships.

IF PLAYING ON WEBGL, FULL SCREEN BEFORE PLAYING AS SHOP UI SCALES WRONG OTHERWISE!

How 2 Play

After starting a game, you'll want to buy a satellite, and a basic turret. Place each of these down at one of the green squares that appear while placing. Press the arrows in the shop to switch between satellites and weapons. To cancel a purchase click anywhere that is not a green square. To move one of your placed objects, click it again and then you can move it. If you click somewhere that's not a green square now, you'll get a full refund for it.

Make sure to check out the Upgrades menu too, as it has a few useful upgrades.

Please bare in mind that this is my first ever game jam, and the quickest I have made a game with this scale.

This really reminds me of a sort of cookie clicker/adventure capitalist type of game! It's pretty unique as I haven't seen anything like this before.

If anyone is stuck, make sure you click the arrows in the shop.

And, I hate to say it, but those aren't satellites they are antennas lol :)

You can sell your things by clicking on them and clicking off of the planet
