The Defender
A downloadable game for Windows
This is a strategy game, where you have to plan your moves ahead. Every unit has certain number of turns, after which his direction of movement can be changed.
It's tower defence element is, of course, in the fact that you are defending your tower from incoming enemies. Enemies will spawn around the borders of the map and try to advance towards your tower. When you lose all HP, you lose.
It's "short-term memory" element is in fact that you can not always see your enemies. Collectables will stay visible even in the fog of war, but enemies will not (at least they should not :) ) You have to remember the direction of attack and try to deflect it with your defender units.
Energy drink element is mushrooms :) They expand your vision for a number of turns.
It is playable for 10 minutes, but you will get bored sooner :)
There is no win screen, if you gathered all good from mines, consider it a victory, and your result good your score.
Launch the game in 1920x1080 resolution, or tilemap/pixel-perfect camera will not function properly.
I worked hard to meet all the criteria to get bonus points, but the actual game can not be considered fun (yet). It was made in less than 24 hours of 96, and I barely managed to assemble this prototype into working state. Balance of internal values may greatly improve the fun element even without further development, but it's 5 a.m., and I already posted it 13 minutes later than the deadline (and was so relieved when it has become possible again), so I would prefer not to touch anything for now :)
