Hello everyone!
I'm excited to share the early build of my project, Defend the Buttons! After a lot of learning, tweaking, and debugging, the game is ready for its first release. Here's what you can expect in this version:
What's in this build?
Core Mechanics:
- Take control of a turret on the space railway to defend important buttons from waves of incoming threats.
- Strategic turret movement along the railway to adjust your positioning and defend all sides.
Cutscene Intro:
- A dynamic intro scene sets the tone, introducing you to the game's world and the Engineer—a character who brings life to the narrative.
Progression:
- An EXP system is in place, giving you a sense of progression as you destroy incoming threats.
- While the upgrade system isn’t implemented yet, future updates will bring exciting ways to improve your turret’s abilities!
Gameplay:
- Simple, fun mechanics with sound effects, animations, and increasing waves of difficulty to keep you engaged.
What's next?
Future updates will include:
- Upgrade Options: Spend your EXP to unlock faster fire rates, better accuracy, or turret enhancements.
- New Challenges: Additional threat types and mechanics to keep the game fresh.
- Refined Visuals: Improvements to the UI and more dynamic animations.
I’d love for you to try the game and share your thoughts! This is very much a work in progress, and your feedback will help shape the direction of the game.
