GDTV-2025
A downloadable Shooter
Game Dev TV 2025 Game Jam
Theme: Tiny Worlds
The name of the game is NANOCIDE, and there is a reason for that!
Tiny planets orbit a star system, and you barge in with your handy-dandy rocket launcher. Initially, the planet inhabitants are caught off guard but soon recuperate to launch a devastating attack against you.
Your mission is to destroy as many tiny worlds as possible before your ten sortie limit expires—or before you're blasted out of the star system.
