New creation : MicroTD - by drummyfish

Microtd

This is a tiny tower defense game written with my tiny portable game engine called SAF which makes games playable on PCs as well as on small devices like Gamebuino META. The game was originally written for Arduboy – this version has color added and one extra map. It is completely public domain under CC0! Code is available here.

There are 8 towers, 11 enemy types and 6 maps to play. Each tower can be upgraded. The goal is to survive waves of coming enemies for as long as possible.

Thank you Drummyfish for this new creation.

Would it be possible to add a small note to explain the purpose of the game and the gameplay?

NOTE: you can also recreate in one click the topics on the new forum for all your other creations;)

Really cool game, nice and simplistic, you need to add a note like stated above or below idk about how to kill certain enemies, e.g. that weird blue one that only dies by the guards, or that other weird looking dude that i dont yet get how to kill, really awesome tho, i’m a sucker for these kinda games

Favourite game on gamebuino so far even still, but you cant actually buy fire/water towers to kill the demons

Thanks!

What do you mean? Note that these towers need more space, they need 2x2 squares to be built.

drummyfish. It’s make some times that you haven’t make another crazy game. Any new project ?

You need to nerf the demons or improve the fire towers, as it it goes from easy enough to extremely difficult at level 15 onward because you need at least 2 fire towers to kill a single demon
