Protect the Magic Tree is a tower-defense like game where you must protect a magic tree by planting flowers (and a Bug Zapper?) to ward off pests. Prevent them from killing your tree!

Protect the Magic Tree is my entry into the #GoGodotJam game jam. It is also my first game jam entry.

Currently included in build:

3 plantable defenses
3 enemies
5 levels spanning in difficulty
Fully working menus

Controls

[ESC] pauses and resumes the game
[E] toggles the UI on/off
[Left-Click] the defense's icon to activate planting mode and [Right-Click] to exit planting mode without planting

All assets are self-created except for the Baby Party font.

I really liked the music and art, but it's really difficult to select a tower to place.

Yeah, unfortunately the defense "buttons" are panels with the defense sprite itself as a texture button. It's the thing that sticks out the most. It's on my todo list, but it falls under polishing. I'm still working on the levels themselves. I want do a scripted tutorial, but I'm not sure I'll have the time for it either.

This was bothering me more and more, so I've fixed this issue. Will be available by end of jam

Thanks a lot! I'm still new to pixel art and music composition, but I'm mostly content with this game. Once the final features are implemented, I'll be pretty happy.
