Wardens of Glow v0.3.0

Wardens of Glow
A downloadable game for Windows

A few important changes for this version:

  • The control system is completely changed, and wardens are now instead moved with a more RTS styled approach with mouse control. In addition to controlling a warden by selecting and right-clicking a destination, wardens can also be multi-selected and move in group.
  • Wardens will no longer endlessly spawn each minute, instead, reinforcements will arrive when the stored glow in the lantern reach certain numbers. 
  • Enemies will spawn in waves and be a bit more balanced between plays. At the start of each wave, you will be able to see where the strongest section of the enemy force will arrive from, and position your wardens accordingly.
