Premise:

A turn based defence game where your only defence is a giant ball. There are lots of hazards, plus you'll have to use angles to hit enemies effectively. Can you defend your base for 5 levels while getting a sweet score. 


Minimap:


With the minimap, pressing 'x' will bring it up, this can only be done in the aiming phase. While the minimap is up you can pan around the level with the arrow keys to see where the enemies are in relation to you. The level is 9x bigger than the viewport. The lines on the minimap are the paths of the enemies. If there is no path, the enemy has been destroyed on that path. The enemies will only spawn from the corners.


Objective:

Enemies move after the ball has come to a stop or you have reached your maximum amount of bounces. Launch the ball every turn to destroy enemies before they can reach the centre. There are 4 enemy types that you will face up against, they behave differently. Plan each shot effectively to make sure that you defeat all the enemies, but playing risky can net you a higher score. Your choice.

Tips:

  • The ball can only bounce so many times. So if the ball stops suddenly, this is why.
  • The minimap can only be used during aiming phase, when the minimap is active you can pan around the map. The lines on the minimap are the enemy paths. 


Enemies:

  fast enemies - sometimes flying 

  tank enemies - very strong
