Disk Defense by Congeesetador
Lore: You and your trusty hard drive are the last remaining things inside of a secret agent's computer, the computer is being attacked by a criminal organization trying to get classified information and everything else in the computer has been destroyed from the viruses. It is your job as the computer's antivirus to protect the hard drive so the attackers don't get the classified information! Use your trust laser vision to blast the enemies away with style and use your high tech ability to give you a fighting chance against the criminal scum! Do you have what it takes to defeat the attackers?
How To Play: This is a basic wave defense game, you are an antivirus robot inside a computer that's being attacked by a criminal organization that's trying to steal files from the hard drive, your job is to prevent the viruses from entering the hard drive and corrupting the space, earn chips by defeating the viruses which can be used to upgrade your laser but be careful if the hard drive takes too much damage the shop will corrupt leaving you vulnerable and unable to upgrade your laser, be mindful which upgrade you get first because it could change the way you're able to defend the drive. The difficulty dramatically increases through the waves, there are 10 waves total with 3 different types of viruses that deal different amounts of damage to your hard drive, these special viruses are faster and pack quite the punch so make sure you're upgraded before taking on those challenging beasts. This is a game about reaction time and speed, do you have what it takes to defeat the criminals?
Abilities: - Heal: Instantly heal the hard drive giving +25% storage, storage must be 75% or lower to activate. | 2 minute cooldown
Barrier: Place a barrier around the hard drive that will instantly kill any virus that touches it for 5 seconds. | 30 second cooldown
Freeze: Instantly immobilize every virus for 1 second. | 15 second cooldown
Controls:
- Movement: WASD
- Ability: Right Click
- Laser: Left Click
IMPORTANT INFORMATION: There is a bug with the shop upgrades that will basically break the laser, when opening the shop do NOT buy the SECOND time upgrade, it will make your laser slower, only buy the speed upgrades and the first time upgrade and you will be fine.
Due to not being able to get game testers the virus speeds might be too fast at later levels, if you are struggling with the speed pick one of the defensive abilities to give you an edge in battle.
The freeze ability does freeze the viruses but when you reactivate the ability one a level with one of the orange or purple viruses the virus speed will be decreased and when you active the ability another time they will be back to their fast speed.

This game was a lot of fun, I played it for a lot longer than I've played most other submissions. Great work!
Great job!
Fun game, the upgrade limit is a shame, but it's well done (even at max upgrade you can still buy upgrades).
Good work!
I like it, congrats, great work :smile:
Just standing next to the hard drive is, I think, the optimal strategy.
