🌌 Origin Story: From Bashers to Builders
I created Alien Bashers as a mobile experiment when I was still learning the ropes of game development. It may be a small project, but it had a big impact on me — it was the first time I explored wave mechanics and real-time strategy together.
That’s why it became the inspiration behind the Tower Defense Game Jam — a challenge for developers to explore their own creative take on the genre.

ok game, still kinda unsure what the green mist guy does, and how to upgrade. From what I’ve figured out is that blue guy 1 is a shooter, pink sock is economy, red is lure, the 60 cost pink clown is a cherry bomb(“pvz reference”) but no difficulty? Got to wave 20 with 2 socks and full map shooters. Suggestions are plz make some kind of descriptions lol and make the waves of 10+ harder
Greatly appreciate the feedback. I will definetely implement your suggestions as they could genuinely make the game better!
and btw how do you upgrade? I couldn’t figure that out
