Terminally Skill(ed)
>Files corrupted.
Terminally Skill(ed) is a puzzling spin on the tower defense genre where you send viruses out to infect a computer file! Strategically unleash a limited arsenal of units to evade a variety of anti-malware towers and reach the file at the end of the maze.
>CORRUPTION: 100%
Every level can be beaten with all units surviving, rewarding you with a "Pure Evil" ranking! How close can you get to perfection?
>The Malware
Virus (5hp): The standard unit, made to look like a simple popup exclamation point!
Hyperlink (3hp): A speedy spiky slime that can .zip past towers on cooldown and easily dodge bombs.
Zip Bomb (15hp): A massive 20TB folder ready to lag your PC. It's as bulky as it is slow.
>The Defense
Pylon: A simple turret that shoots the closest thing to itself.
Crystal: A laser-firing diamond that aims in one direction, but can hit multiple units at once. It fires the slowest out of any unit, so sneaking other units past its line of fire is optimal!
Bomb: Explodes after a second when something enters its radius. Every other tower does 1hp of damage, but these deal a lethal 5hp. Try sending fast units to trigger its explosion unscathed!
Omega Pylon: A fast-firing pylon that targets the strongest thing it sees and nothing else! Tanky units can take the beating while letting smaller units sneak past it.

Ah great reverse tower defense. It fits the theme of the game jam and at the same time also has a good theme on its own with the file corruption. It gives you the PC corruption goal and executes it in the various levels you implemented and rewards the achieved goal with a nice bluescreen win graphic. The visuals fit the theme and add to it, giving every level a quick timer at the end also gives it replayability and the end screens with replay and continue are convenient. Overall really well rounded experience for the game. Only thing that would need work is balancing, so far only the last level posed a bit of a challenge and was the most fun, every other level could be played by spawning random units. This could be expanded in future, i found out proper tower defense balancing is extremely time consuming and tricky in this jam lol.
Sweet!
Awesome! Hard, yet really rewarding.
