This is a Tower Defense game I programmed for Arduboy.
Thanks to this https://felipemanga.github.io/ProjectABE/ great Emulator I could make those gifs.
This picture should explain how to navigate and play in the game.
Editor Pro Tip: if you long press A in the DELETE mode the whole map will be cleared
maybe there are also some hidden functions
If you wanna know what is happening on this tiny screen the following pictures might help you.
- 0 this is a tower you already build
- 1 a stone, you can not build there but also enemies can not walk there
- 2 a big building, same as the stone, but looks different
- 3 your headquarter, defend it with some more towers!
- 4 the cursor on the magic invisible 6x6 pixels raster
- 5 the entry, this is where the enemies will come from

- 7 lifepoints of your headquarter, if it is zero the match is over
- 8 Next wave type and number, there will be 30 waves and 6 different types
- 9 a tree, you can not build there but enemies can walk there
+ 0 an enemy that is trying to walk to your hq

This is how your score will be calculated: max: 999
for every wave you beet 20 Points 30 * 20 = 600
for every life you get 3 Points 100 * 3 = 300
for every 10 coins you get 1 Point 999 / 10 = 99
For every 250 Points you get a star.
example: 22 waves * 30 + 0 life * 3 + 80 coins / 10 = 668 Points => 2 Stars!
Yes, there is a map editor where you can create new maps. To store those self created maps on the EEPROM there a 5 slots. In the slot list you can choose with left/right if you wanna play or edit the map. Creating a map is like building towers but instead of towers you can build map tiles.
The five types of enemies will attack your headquarter in groups of five. They can come in 6 different combinations, it is eigther one of the five types or all of them in a mix. The icon or letter in front of the wavecounter tells you the group type:
| Type | Info | only 50% Damage |
|---|---|---|
| The letter D | Default enemies, every towers does the full damage | - |
| Icon arrow right | Fast enemies, but a bit weaker than others | - |
| Icon bullet | those enemies will resist NORMAL damage | MINIGUN and CANNON towers |
| Icon laser beam | those enemies will resist LIGHT damage | RAILGUN and LASER towers |
| Icon two waves | those enemies will resist WAVE damage | FLAME and SHOCK towers |
| The letter M | Mixed enemies, all of the five above | - |
There are eight different types of towers, for more information go to the ingame tower lexicon. You access it after building a tower, selecting it and press on menu item INFOS.
Those are the rotating towers facing different directions without their sockets.
