Welcome to Tribute TD

an innovative Tower Defence experience like no other. In this unique twist on the genre, you'll be building towers that embody different video game genres such as shooters, car races, or real-time strategy games. Protect your games under development from relentless bugs using iconic weapons inspired by the history of gaming. Enhance your towers with modules to amplify your weapons or add special effects.

How to play

Survive ten rounds while keeping at least one game under development. Each round consists of 3 phases.

During the shop phase, you purchase modules. In the build phase, you place bought games (Hexagons) and can attach game mechanics (Rectangles) to them. During the wave phase, bugs attack all games that are still in development. Dead creeps bring in money, which can be spent on new modules during the shop phase. Bugs become stronger and more numerous with each round and they also become stronger the longer a game is in development.

Games can be released, after which they are no longer attacked by bugs from the next round, but there must always be at least one game in development. If 6 bugs reach a game the game will be aborted and deactivated as well as all attached modules.

Controls

  • use your mouse to buy and build modules
  • click in wave phase on towers or weapons to see stats are select targeting behaviour
  • use the mouse wheel to scoll in and out
  • use WASD to move around the map

Content

Immerse yourself in a nostalgic tribute to the best games in the world. Each tower represents a game you're developing, and while individual games may struggle to defend themselves, the addition of genres provides unique improvements and benefits to your gameplay. For instance, the RPG tower levels up with every 10 kills, enhancing modules that you've added to the game.
To eliminate the bug creeps threatening your development, arm your game with extraordinary weapons such as a lightsaber, a turtle shell thrower, or a legendary pixelated sword. These weapons strike targets within range, earning you money to invest in further game development, acquire more weapons, and unlock additional improvement modules.
Take your game's details to new heights with improvement modules. Enhance your towers with the "Excellent Graphics" module to boost the damage of all attached weapons by 60%. Alternatively, if your game has an expensive franchise, trade off decreased income from killed creeps for an extra bounce effect on all ranged weapons.
Prepare for intense rounds of Tower Defence gameplay. Prior to each wave, explore the shop to purchase games, weapons, and improvements. Strategically build and deploy them to fend off the incoming bugs. Each wave features a distinct set of bugs, and you must survive for a specific duration. Defeated bugs respawn immediately.
Combine the game of your dreams as you experiment with countless possibilities. Currently, the game offers:
  • 6 available game genres
  • 11 unique weapons (7 ranged and 4 melee)
  • 34 improvement modules
  • 10 challenging rounds to survive
  • 3 types of relentless bugs

Not every combination will yield success, so prepare to learn through trial and error. Your feedback is invaluable as this is our second prototype. Please let us know if you're having fun and if you believe this game has the potential to be further developed.

I have finally beaten this game. Where is my reward? :D




fantastic! Here is your reward ๐ŸŽ‰๐ŸŽ‰    ๐Ÿ†     ๐ŸŽ‰๐ŸŽ‰

Funny game, but I think it needs more balancing. I die too much in the early game and have no problems later on.

Pls more weapons. How about the tesla coil from C&C or the Halo energy sword?

Thank you for your feedback!

a balance patch will come soon. Great ideas for weapons as well, I love the Tesla Coil ... stay tuned for MVP2 ;)
