Description

A simple tower defense game that supports multiple levels, each level having its own map, path (in .tmx format), and enemy wave events.

The player starts with a preset amount of money, and receives a reward for completing each wave. Completing all waves in a level advances the level. If the player completes all wave events in all levels, the game is won.

Towers

Towers are deployable by the player. They cost money and come in two types:

• Standard - static tower, target-locked projectile attack with fixed/variable damage and speed
• Airplane - temporary tower that moves along an axis, causing damage at fixed/variable intervals along a flight path

At the end of each level, all towers are removed from the map and money is reset to the predefined initial amount.

Enemies

Enemies spawn, follow a set path, and are capable of spawning children when they die.

If an enemy reaches the end of the path, a number of lives (according to the recorded stats of the monster) are subtracted from the player; if lives reach zero, the player loses.
