Robocalypse: Xtreme Pool Master

Ludum Dare 41 - entry

It is garbage day in the nuclear wasteland, and it’s time to take out the trash with style! Set up your towers by playing pool/billiard/snooker and hope for the best. The two genres in combination are Tower Defense + Pool.

This game was actually done in 48h due to us wasting the first day trying a different idea and failing miserably. While it’s clearly not finished, I’m rather surprisingly relieved that we actually managed to get something playable out in time! I also got sick the day before Ludum Dare, so this particular time was rather ultra straining on my well being.

Instructions

You have to protect your ball (the white one). Your turrets are the other balls on the table. You gain more by killing enough enemies. You have three tries per wave to upgrade your turrets by pocketing them into any pockets that have an arrow indicator. Try to survive as long as you can, and be the best in the leaderboards!

Controls

• Mouse Left-Button: Click and drag back to charge your launch, release to launch the ball
• WASD / Arrow buttons / Mouse Right-Button: Rotate camera
• ESC: Pause/Reset menu
