YummyTD

Please feel free to donate if you enjoy the game and want to further it's development! I made this game for a software engineering project, and it became way out of hand and turned into a quite fletched out game. 

I have had a blast developing and would love to continue development now that the semester is over! I am hoping to use any potential funding for:

- Active development time for myself

- Paying artists for custom music

- More asset creation

- Steam/Google Play fees

YummyTD is a tower defense game based on rats defending their home and cheese from pests and invaders. Waves of different enemies are sent on their paths to the goal, which are stopped by player towers that have a variety of damaging mechanics and projectile properties to kill the enemies in the waves. Waves become stronger but money increases, which can be used to buy and upgrade new towers. Strategic use of the economy-system rewards players by allowing them to use their money efficiently.
