Last Stand (stealthyshiroean)

Last Stand is a tower defense game I made for the GameDev.tv Game Jam 2022. The theme was "Death is Only the Beginning", so naturally I did something with the undead.

This is the first game jam I've participated in and it was a good experience. For the first couple days, I was trying to do something completely different and was frustrated that I might not be able to complete it. After some thinking and re-scoping of the project, I was able to put this together in the time I had left. I'm incredibly proud with what I was able to achieve and hope that other people enjoy their time with my game.

Any comments, criticisms, or suggestions are greatly appreciated. Thank you for stopping by!

Controls:

• W and S - Move up and down
• Spacebar (Press or hold down) - Shoots fireball
• LMB - To select a defense from the bottom menu and click on a square to place it

To any interested in my full experience and my thoughts on it, I talk about it in this video:
