Nightmare Tower Defence

Fight of the nightmares that plague your dreams.

They appear from the black fog, wandering towards your bed. You play as a spirit defending your body in sleep. If you get too close to the nightmares, they will hurt you. Lay out a strategic maze of traps and shoot airplanes to push back the nightmares.

Controls:

• Left-click: shoot/place trap
• 1,2,3: pick trap
• Q: destroy trap
  
• WASD: move
• Shift: sprint
• T: spawn next wave
• E: damage yourself (whoops forgot to remove from testing)

Mechanics explained:

Inspired by Orcs Must Die. A tower defense (TD) where the player takes an active role in defending by attacking the enemies directly with a weapon.

However, in Nightmare Tower Defence, the path can be fully blocked. Enemies will destroy blockades if they cannot reach the bed through a clear path. Each wave of enemies is predetermined. The player can also shoot paper airplanes at the enemies to damage them.

There are 3 enemy types:

• Normal nightmare: pretty average at everything
• Little nightmare: small, fast, little health, poor damage, ignores player
• Big nightmare: very big, slow, big health, big damage

There are 3 traps:

• Pillow wall: blocks enemy's paths
• Lego bricks: damages enemies at regular intervals
• Slime trap: slows enemies

Placing traps costs cash, you start with some cash on each level. But defeating enemies gives you more cash. You can destroy your traps for a partial refund.

Whenever enemies reach the bed, they damage the dreamer's mind. Represented by the health bar on the bottom left with a bed icon.
