1GAW: #1 - Simple Tower Defense

Week #1 of 1 game a week

Starting the one game a week experiment with a tower defense sounded small enough at first. It was also a good excuse to stop planning forever and actually finish something.

Why I made it

I wanted to practice lua, game dev, and pico 8

Challenges or lessons

Making a game in a very constrained amount of time, how to deal with mouse interaction and item progression dynamics

The mouse interaction and item progression were the parts that made the idea feel like a game instead of just a test. Having so little time meant i had to make decisions and keep moving.
