A downloadable game for Windows, macOS, and Linux

Entry to Trijam #284. Theme: "Build during the day, defend at night".

Game built in 3 hours and 7 minutes, just missed that deadline! It is a somewhat playable experience but given the timeframe I think the outcome is as expected. Built using C# and MonoGame.

All assets apart from the font were created by me during the jam (and you can tell I spent about 30 seconds on each).

Controls

  • Arrow keys - movement
  • Space - place TNT

Rules

  • Every step you take progresses the clock by 30 minutes!
  • Place TNT during the day to build your defences
  • You get 5 TNT blocks every morning
  • At night, creatures hunt you and move a step every time you take a step
  • When the sun rises the creatures die
  • Creatures moving over TNT get blown up
  • If a creature reaches you, game over!
