Place cannons to protect your harvest from the enemy harvesters, and survive 3 waves of enemies to win. \n\nTo place cannons right click on the map to place. Each cannon costs 10 gold, and you gain 10 gold per enemy kill. To start each wave press the start wave button in the top right hand corner. \n\nThere are some bugs with the aiming\/shooting code of the cannons, so incase some of the cannons don't shoot at enemies, that's a bug that I wasn't able to fix.\n\nThere is also no audio or sound, hence why we opted out of those ratings.","title":"Beat the Harvester","wayback_recovered":true,"wayback_source":{"capture":{"original":"https:\/\/api-jam.ludumdare.com\/vx\/node2\/get\/315001+315002+315003+315004+315005+315006+315007+315008+315009+315010+315011+315012+315013+315014+315015+315016+315017+315018+315019+315020+315021+315022+315023+315024+315025+315026+315027+315028+315029+315030+315031+315032+315033+315034+315035+315036+315037+315038+315039+315040+315041+315042+315043+315044+315045+315046+315047+315048+315049+315050+315051+315052+315053+315054+315055+315056+315057+315058+315059+315060+315061+315062+315063+315064+315065+315066+315067+315068+315069+315070+315071+315072+315073+315074+315075+315076+315077+315078+315079+315080+315081+315082+315083+315084+315085+315086+315087+315088+315089+315090+315091+315092+315093+315094+315095+315096+315097+315098+315099+315100+315101+315102+315103+315104+315105+315106+315107+315108+315109+315110+315111+315112+315113+315114+315115+315116+315117+315118+315119+315120+315121+315122+315123+315124+315125+315126+315127+315128+315129+315130+315131+315132+315133+315134+315135+315136+315137+315138+315139+315140+315141+315142+315143+315144+315145+315146+315147+315148+315149+315150+315151+315152+315153+315154+315155+315156+315157+315158+315159+315160+315161+315162+315163+315164+315165+315166+315167+315168+315169+315170+315171+315172+315173+315174+315175+315176+315177+315178+315179+315180+315181+315182+315183+315184+315185+315186+315187+315188+315189+315190+315191+315192+315193+315194+315195+315196+315197+315198+315199+315200+315201+315202+315203+315204+315205+315206+315207+315208+315209+315210+315211+315212+315213+315214+315215+315216+315217+315218+315219+315220+315221+315222+315223+315224+315225+315226+315227+315228+315229+315230+315231+315232+315233+315234+315235+315236+315237+315238+315239+315240+315241+315242+315243+315244+315245+315246+315247+315248+315249+315250+315251+315252+315253+315254+315255+315256+315257+315258+315259+315260+315261+315262+315263+315264+315265+315266+315267+315268+315269+315270+315271+315272+315273+315274+315275+315276+315277+315278+315279+315280+315281+315282+315283+315284+315285+315286+315287+315288+315289+315290+315291+315292+315293+315294+315295+315296+315297+315298+315299+315300+315301+315302+315303+315304+315305+315306+315307+315308+315309+315310+315311+315312+315313+315314+315315+315316+315317+315318+315319+315320+315321+315322+315323+315324+315325+315326+315327+315328+315329+315330+315331+315332+315333+315334+315335+315336+315337+315338+315339+315340+315341+315342+315343+315344+315345+315346+315347+315348+315349+315350+315351+315352+315353+315354+315355+315356+315357+315358+315359+315360+315361+315362+315363+315364+315365+315366+315367+315368+315369+315370+315371+315372+315373+315374+315375+315376+315377+315378+315379+315380+315381+315382+315383+315384+315385+315386+315387+315388+315389+315390+315391+315392+315393+315394+315395+315396+315397+315398+315399+315400+315401+315402+315403+315404+315405+315406+315407+315408+315409+315410+315411+315412+315413+315414+315415+315416+315417+315418+315419+315420+315421+315422+315423+315424+315425+315426+315427+315428+315429+315430+315431+315432+315433+315434+315435+315436+315437+315438+315439+315440+315441+315442+315443+315444+315445+315446+315447+315448+315449+315450+315451+315452+315453+315454+315455+315456+315457+315458+315459+315460+315461+315462+315463+315464+315465+315466+315467+315468+315469+315470+315471+315472+315473+315474+315475+315476+315477+315478+315479+315480+315481+315482+315483+315484+315485+315486+315487+315488+315489+315490+315491+315492+315493+315494+315495+315496+315497+315498+315499+315500?authors&parents&superparent"},"object":"objects\/sha256\/4e\/4eae9e9517703fdb0e89dc8f949c02ebce49d1783f4d10a8bf37b26d357837eb","record":"shard-3\/json-live-urgent-v3\/records\/7e6e49d4648f7707164e7970c314dc4e6d4975f37cdfeed737e8a53c6117d739.json","sha256":"4eae9e9517703fdb0e89dc8f949c02ebce49d1783f4d10a8bf37b26d357837eb","source":"https","stored_at":1784022415}}
