M.A.D.D. by Flying Dog Fish
M.A.D.D. actually stands for Mutual Assured Destruction Defense
You found yourself in an situation against a ruthless enemy. Try to survive as long as you can by avoiding bullets, but the ending is inevitable.
Make sure to hit that blue arrows button below the game to play in fullscreen mode, it's a much better experience.
The character follows your mouse. Gather dead bullets to collect resources.
Press left mouse button to place a protective wall that can take a few bullets for you. You can push the walls around freely.
Press right mouse button to place a turret with heat-seaking missiles. These can be destroyed by the incoming missiles so protect them if you can.
Pick red cross boxes to regain full health.
Tools used: - Whiteboard for planning - Inkscape with Wacom Bamboo for the art - Sound recorder / Audacity for sfx - Unity and Microsoft Visual Studio to make the actual game in
The music was created especially for this game during the event by my friend Aziraphal, everything else was created from scratch by myself during the event.

It simple yet entertaining, the humor gives the game some charm.
I like the wall placing mechanic and that your able to move them after placing them.
I developed futher it might be cool if you could use your colleted bullets to buy more walls, turrets other upgrades.
Great work!
It grabbed me and gave me a brief but good time.
One of the few entries I stopped reviewing and just started playing.
Well done on a solid entry
Good game) and you can build a house from white bricks, that would be funny)
Turrets should be drawn below the player and other bullets, or it will become difficult to dodge.
Fun game!
This was a cool idea and the music was very good. The text at the top was a nice touch as well. However, the game could've used a bit of balance. It was fairly easy to just spam walls in the second half so that most bullets couldn't get to you. On a similar note, the bullets seem to be able to spawn anywhere. I've seen some spawn right next to me and I think some spawned on me as well, which was rather annoying.
Overall this was a great game though. Good job!
My only gripe is that the orientation of the walls is based on the player's facing, and the player's facing is based on their movement. It's not a TREMENDOUS issue, given that the walls can be pushed around easily, but it's hard to be precise placing them to begin with.
