Aquest

Vampire survivors meets tower defense

This time, you represent the last standing drop of water and you have to defend against evil sponges that want to dry every drop of water remaining. Even if you are alone, all the water knowledge is kept inside you, and be used to create impressive buildings to defend yourself. Think you can do it?

Here's what you need to know:

You will be summoned in the middle of the desert. Drops of water will appear around you. You may collect them to serve as well as currency but as health too. Use them wisely to create buildings but, don't speed too much with them, you will be more vulnerable to your enemies who will come wave after wave after you. To defend yourself, build towers, and collectors, and upgrade them, it will give you an advantage in the face of your enemies.

Things to remember while playing:

  • To build structures: press "B" or click on the icon on the bottom-left of the screen. It will open a menu from you can select what type of building you wish to construct. Some structures may need to be unlocked, to do that you will have to create an anvil first.
  • Anvils: this structure represents the main way to improve your strengths. It allows you to unlock or upgrade your buildings. It's a one-time use only!
  • Collectors: these buildings provide you with water drops (currency and health as well) over time. It's important to try and build as many as you can as the game starts because it will become harder to do that after that. To construct a collector, press on the lakes across the map and select the collector item.
  • Currency and health: currency and health are shared, use them wisely.
  • Enemies: they will become stronger and stronger as the time passes. There are 4 enemies for now.

With all of these in mind, we wish you the best and good luck protecting yourself from those thirsty sponges!

This was fun for the 15 minutes i played. One thing is I wish the build system was a little easier to do. After placing a building i'd want the building menu to stay. It always closed and i'd have to re-open it.

oh also, on the game over screen please show how far you get in the waves!

A new wave countdown starts after other ends, to see the progress you can look at the current enemies that remained

I think it's a good idea, I will keep that in mind for the next update! Thanks for the feedback!
