Definitely had me coming back for another try a few times. I like the explosion vfx. The towers didn't feel very different and  it was pretty punishing to lose after only one reaches your base, with little to do to slow them down.\n\nInteresting take on tower defense, with the attrition. I think the delivery theme is a bit stretched here.","format":"md","likes":0,"spam":"N"}],"format":"md","images":["ld53\/wayback-placeholder.png"],"links":[{"url":"https:\/\/github.com\/the-alex-g\/LD53","text":"Link"},{"url":"https:\/\/the-alex-g.itch.io\/delivery-destroyer","text":"Itch.io site"},{"url":"https:\/\/github.com\/the-alex-g\/LD53\/releases","text":"Link"},{"url":"https:\/\/github.com\/the-alex-g\/LD53\/releases","text":"Link"}],"metadata":{"g_key":"88034","g_author":"1187200","g_event":"LD53","g_eventkey":"118","g_subevent":"COMPO","g_urlkey":"409799","g_title":"Delivery Destroyer","g_status":"WAYBACK","g_place":"99999","g_commentcount":"4","g_site2_node_id":"340689","g_hide":"N","g_has_icon":"Y","g_rqueue":"0","g_random":"0"},"nds":{"n_key":"340689","n_urlkey":"409799","n_parent":"332127","n_path":"\/events\/ludum-dare\/53\/delivery-destroyer","n_slug":"delivery-destroyer","n_type":"item","n_subtype":"game","n_subsubtype":"compo","n_author":"187200","n_created":"1682425288","n_modified":"1778353624","n_version":"1114807","n_status":"WAYBACK"},"node":{"_collation":{"body_sanitizer":"TextUtils::SanitizeHTML via existing importer","event":"LD53","removed_author":false},"_superparent":9,"_trust":1,"author":187200,"body":"Your job is to prevent the delivery of a high explosive to the power core of your weapons plant.
