Or: Algae Eaters.

A sandbox tower defence game!
Started for the latest Ludum Dare mini-competition!
Then - improved!
Improvements continue EVEN TO THIS VERY MOMENT!
Features!

 - Summon friendly froods!
 - Conjure vicious mooks!
 - Construct mighty towers!
 - Hear shouts without sound!
 - Train your froods in the ways of battle!
 - Erect monuments to the fallen!
 - Engage in challenges to test your mettle!
 - Screenshots! (Increasingly out of date.)






^(This one is more recent.)



 - (BEHOLD the abstract, blocky beauty!)
 - And MORE to come!

 (I mean, not more abstraction. More features. Like more ways to upgrade and manage your froods, more buildings (flamethrower towers!), more enemies (shield-mooks!), more challenges, and that kind of thing. Probably more bugs too, but that's not really the point, you know?)

 Download the latest version here! IF YOU DARE. New features:
 - New tower! SMOKE TOWER: Choke! Slow! Choke some more! Is probably rather overpowered.
 - New challenges! Total number of challenges DOUBLED.
 - New spawning-system! Once you've built a Barracks, you'll find that Mooks can come at you from MORE THAN ONE DIRECTION. Feel palpable fear! (Maybe.)
 - And various under-the-hood optimizations, which you may or may not notice.
 Known issues:
 - Can be rather slow with many enemies onscreen. Optimization is ongoing.
 - Scroll-bar for Challenges is completely hideous. It's a temporary (hopefully, very temporary) placeholder.
 - Froods occasionally freeze in place rather than staffing a building. How rude! Someone should do something about that.

Previous major release is here.

I like the lofi colors, but IMO the "windows" menu on the right kind of breaks the ambiance.

yes, please more abstract blocky beauty, less...is that Times New Roman? This has great style other than the border UI -- which looks like a placeholder maybe? Also Monstroyka is a great name.

I hadn't considered the border UI to be a major concern, I'll admit. But that's why I request feedback! Download-link in the first post updated with a new version, containing a variety of bugfixes along with a new font. Let me know if it fixes your problems, or if it's illegible. (The latter is entirely possible.)

Yaaay! This game IS getting better all the time! =D
I love the Challenge editions ^^
I do agree with the rest that the GUI needs some (or a lot of XD) polishing...

Keep working on it and Thumbs up! =D
