Dimension Dwellers

It is the year two-thousand and.. well, it doesn't matter for this story honestly.

So it is the year two-thousand and doesn't matter and after a hard day of dwelling in the dimensions you are lying next to your favorite portal in the midst of the beautiful arid lands you call home, when you suddenly hear them...

Thousands of evil burning-eyed monsters walking through the obsidian canyon of the portals other dimension, ready to pass through it and destroy what you call home.

You grab a stone, switch dimensions by jumping through the portal and start building defence towers that will shoot laser pew pews at the invaders.

But as soon as you think everything is under control, you realise that the monsters started gaining increasingly more health and you need more stone to build another tower!

You switch dimensions again, click one of the giant rocks in your home dimension, start building, instruct a worker and jump back with stones, building more towers. Yet, everytime you build, the dimension jump takes its toll and the costs for building towers rise. And the workers will stop working if you don't reassign them. And the enemies keep progressing. What started as a chill after-work evening is turning into serious business.

What will you do?

Will you be watching the enemy break through? Will you be building towers? Or will you jump back to make those workers work faster again, eventually helping yourself?

It is your decisions that will decide the outcome of this unexpected evening.

Happy Dwelling!

Note from the devs:

We had planned to use have gold as a ressource. Every killed enemy would drop gold, which you in turn could use to pay workers to work for longer and buy gathering buildings.

A second tower with another bullettype is also implemented, but still unused.

We also wanted to restrict the tower placement to areas outside of the canyon and prevent collisions between them, but, a jam is a jam and life outside of gamedev took over.

We really hope you have a few minutes of fun and thanks for playing our little game!
