Ducky Defenders

Long ago, out planet was ruled by a powerful and dominant species... They were known for their advanced technology, as well as their ability to construct powerful artifacts. However, they eventually left our world, leaving us to fend for ourselves. But we were not alone for long. Soon, a new threat emerged from the depths of outer space: We call them "The Void Creatures". These malevolent creatures came to our planet with only one goal in mind: They came to destroy and to feed. Now it is up to us to defend our home, as well as the last remaining artifacts.

This little piece is a sideview platformer shoot 'em up / tower defense game! Choose your defender and try to survive until the very end! On your way, buy yourself some new weapons to upgrade your fire power, refill your ammunition at the vending machine, and PROTECT THE ARTIFACT AT ALL COSTS!!!

DISCLAIMER:

Due to some problems with the pixel-renderer camera, this game might not function correctly if played on a screen with less than 1920 x 1080 pixels resolution. Hopefully no one runs into that problem and if so, please contact me :)

Have fun!
