Summarise your game!
Space Core is a prototype of a tower defense strategy game in which you play as a soldier with the mission to build mega turrets around a supermassive neutron star and defend it from an approaching asteroid belt attracted by gravity, hold on until your teammates extract the energy from the core. There are 3 types of turrets with different attributes, evolutions and upgrades. The asteroids are generated in random waves with rules and exponentially, no two games will be the same. It also has a small narrative story of your commander talking to you.
Please explain how your game fits the theme:
The concept of placing weapons around a core behaves as if the entire base is a single weapon in itself that you build in parts. It heavily depends on how the weapons are positioned around the core, each one has a specific role that complements the other, creating strategy along with the upgrades and evolutions of the weapons.
Glad you liked it! You're right, the early game should be a little bit faster, thanks for feedback.
I abstracted the idea of “You are the gun” because I didn't want to do the first thing that comes to mind of literally being a gun that shoots, so I thought of a game concept that would give the feeling of “You are the weapon”. I thought that when you build the base around the core it would give the feeling that you were building a single weapon as a whole, I tried to make each turret serve a specific function, short, medium and long range and you would have to place them in a way that left no open flanks for the whole weapon to be effective, so it's not the typical tower defense where you place the weapons in a path. The UI is a quick placeholder for the prototype, when I continue developing the game I'm going to rework it. Thanks for the feedback!
