Defense of Ufeff

A maze-centric tower defense where paths can be blocked off to direct monsters down specific routes. Inspired by 2000s-era Warcraft 3 custom maps.

Background

This is an entry for ufeffjam2, a gamejam where participants have 48 hours to make a game, but the time can be spread out over multiple weeks. Rules are: pre-existing code allowed, graphics must come from an agreed upon source, no restrictions on music and sound.

Controls

Mouse required as this is a UI-heavy game.

Main game:

• Alt+Enter: toggle fullscreen
• WASD: pan camera
• 1-2 (no tower selected): construct wall and recruit, respectively. Holding shift allows you to place multiple.
• 1-3 (tower selected): upgrade selected tower to upgrade in slot 1-3
• 4 (tower selected): sell selected tower
• Space: toggle pause
• Q: toggle double time
• G: call wave
• R: enter demolish mode

Installation

Windows: Simply download and run the executable. Requires a video card supporting OpenGL 3.3+, and a CPU that supports AVX (~2011) or better.

Linux: Native builds not currently available. The game has been tested and known to work with Wine.
