In the Next Days Version 0.5.0a will be Ready to Play. We wanna start a Playtest, so make sure to Follow us and Wishlist Defender of the Turrets to stay up to Date.
Warp Attack System
We have implemented the Warp Attack mode. The player can fill the Warp Attack meter by continuously hitting enemy targets with the Main Tower Projectiles. Once it is filled, the warp attack begins and the player can collect additional money and points.

How It Works:
While the warp attack is active, normal enemies do not move and cannot be damaged. Special enemies spawn that can be destroyed on their way to the warp point.
During the warp attack only the main turret is functional, it does not need ammunition during the warp attack.
For the design we have chosen different particle systems.
We implemented a third camera with Cinemachine and made a transition from camera 1 to camera 3. We added some post-processing effects to the camera to disorientate the camera view and blur it during the warp attack to give it more dynamics while the warp tunnel is active.
Abilities
To give the game more dynamics, we are now starting to implement abilities in the game. There will be 8 skills that the player can unlock.

During the game, the player currently receives 1 token every 10 waves. To unlock all abilities, the player needs a total of 20 tokens so far. Once the abilities are unlocked, the passive abilities are always active and available, active abilities can be activated for money and have a cooldown.
The Abilities
4 Passive abilities:
- Money: Increases your received money by 10%.
- Damage: Increases the damage on all your turrets by 10%.
- Ammo: The main turret no longer requires ammo.
- Slow down: Enemies in #space are slowed down by 10%.
4 Active abilities:
- Electromagnetic Pulse: Disables enemies in space for a set period of time.
- Missile Attack: Launches a large number of missiles that attack enemies in space.
- Black Hole: Enemies in space are sucked into a black hole and damaged in the process.
- Active Slowdown: Enemies in space are slowed down by 20% for 10 seconds.
The gameplay was very straightforward until now, shoot enemies with the #tower. Now with the new additions coming to play on Itchio in a few days, the game gets more replay value.
