Milksoup

Milksoup

Milksoup is an FPS tower defense about a bunch of nerds trying to steal your cereal.

Movement is going to be your key to survival, as you strafe and B-hop throughout the surreal environments; The onslaught of trolls keep coming, your pockets slowly filling, and time running out. The longer you last, the more money you get to purchase tools that help you defend against the ever-increasing hoard. Watch out for the bosses - they interrupt the flow of nerds to introduce you to their machinery. They will try to stop you no matter what, so attempt to eliminate them as fast as possible.

If you ever want to take a breather, you’re able to enable the Sandbox mode and spawn, kill, and throw as many enemies as you want, along with a few more physics-based tools to mess around with. Currently, Sandbox mode can be played with friends online too.

A deceptively ‘cute’ looking game that comes with some extensive strategy and action elements!

I liked it enough to do a quick look (curated gameplay and commentary) here: https://youtu.be/Su1iS7WhSgY

Were you able to beat my best? Let me know!

I persisted against the oncoming waves of enemies as the sergeant screamed, “Private…. Private… Private!!!!” over and over as my tanks and bases were destroyed. As I gained XP, I unlocked more powerful weapons, armor, and motors. And now I have the most ultimate tank only to hear “Private… Private…. Private!!!”. I have also gained some victories as my Sergeant yells encouragements.

CONTROLS

Not as seamless on a keyboard, but the game does claim at the very beginning that it is better played on a game controller. If the game is playable on PC, maybe they should have catered to keyboards as well. It’s not terrible, it just feels like it could be a little more seamless.

CHARACTERS

Characters are not very relatable or interesting. The puppy is bossy and he is small so may be the most relatable part of the game.

VISUAL STYLE

Very vibrant and colorful and very vector-like. The style seems consistent

Works in Proton.

This is pretty fun, will probably pick up the full version in the future

Defend the Cake

Defend the Cake

Really strong and fun early access tower defense game.

  • Has good progression of different types of enemies with different abilities (fast, armored, flying, burrowing, building jumping, etc)

  • Interesting mechanic where the bugs get to the cake and then go back along a ground path (which would only be different if they are flying/jumping.)

  • Fun different building types that balance different tradition TD buildings with some fun modifications (fast, slow, aoe, high damage single target).

  • Interesting boss enemies with different mechanics.

My favorite aspect is the unique mechanic of limited actions. In between rounds, you only have four (later six) eggbirds to build, upgrade, or gain extra resources. While you can undo immediate actions, you cannot sell or move towers later.

During a round, your only action is to temporarily power up towers, then wait a few seconds for the recharge. This might sound limited, but especially in later levels, it keeps you busy with quickly deciding when and on which tower to use your power best.

The maps are very open, giving you many different options to figure out the best set up by replaying a level.

haunTD

haunTD

Overview & Key Features:

The game of haunted contraptions.

You wake up on an island as a ghost. The land is scattered with ruins from a not-so-long-ago disaster, and the fallout is creating swarms of hostile mutants. This isn’t the afterlife you had envisioned.

Explore the world, defend against a mutating enemy, and discover what brought you back here. In this tower defense game, enemies get stronger with every passing minute, gradually transforming and acquiring abilities and power. Every 3 nights, a new boss will appear. Gather resources & build a strong enough base to defeat all 12 bosses to win. haunTD was designed with new and experienced Tower Defense fans in mind. Clearing the main “levels” in a successful run takes approximately 90 minutes, but like similar games, it will take much longer – between 12-18 hours of gameplay – to fully experience the game including all unlockable towers, outfits, and story pieces. haunTD is currently single-player, but with framework and plans in place for 4-8 cooperative multiplayer in the works.

Gameplay Mechanics:

haunTD is a Tower Defense game at heart, with new mechanics that give a creative and open-ended feeling.

Uncover the story through key artifacts and locations.

Haunt anything you find to unlock new vehicle and tower parts. Defeating enemies gives you more energy & allows you to haunt more powerful tower parts and upgrade modules. Destroying the hardest enemies will give you access to the rarest tower parts.

Haunting is hard work. Start with the basics and work your way up to more powerful contraptions.

Modular tower building: Combine different turret bases, weapons, and effect canisters that you find to create powerful contraptions with unique, synergized effects. Each tower part is unique - some heal you and other towers, some attach bombs to enemies, and the list goes on. Get creative and make whatever baddie-crushing tower you want.

A ghost can go anywhere and haunt anything, after all.

Synergy: Tower parts work together, and so do towers. Build up a base strategically, upgrade, and repel hordes of mutating enemies who gain or lose abilities over time based on the defenses they encounter.

Achieve victory through supernatural tower defense tactics and a bit of luck!
