Wave 2



"Shooting Gallery Defense" (Working Title and may not change) is a mix of two different style of games, tower defense and a shooting gallery. It has a bit of a faster arcade style pace in regards to enemy wave spawning, but not nearly as fast as your typical shooting gallery game. Towers are placed using tokens earned by destroying the incoming targets, and special abilities can be activated at the cost of tickets to help you knock down the targets. Activating the ticket-based abilities will be key to surviving the longest and achieving a higher score.

The goal of the game is to survive as long as possible with an ever increasing amount of enemies coming at you in 30 second intervals utilizing six different towers. Each tower has a different type of attack or unique ability inspired by what kind of stuffed animal (aka: plush) they are. Only the player can defend against those evil-doing targets utilizing the plush animal army and carnival-inspired special abilities.

Unfortunately I don't believe I'm going to have time to implement a proper tutorial, if one at all, so I may be reduced to displaying a simple text-based help screen explaining the towers and enemy target abilities. I'll see about writing a new post later detailing that information to put into the game.
