Tumblin' Down: Ludum Dare 38

Tumblin' Down is a survival RTS by team Beelzebox.

The mission is to obliterate your opponent and thus appease the evil deity consuming your beloved homeworld. You build units and barracks with resources gathered from control points scattered around the map.

But remember, both the control points and your initial base position will disapper if you don't pay tribute to the Consumer of Worlds.

If you gather enough mana, the scales will tip and your side of the map will be destroyed more slowly. Neglect paying tribute and face the consequences of losing control points and barracks. It's best to force that fate unto your opponent.

Survival of the world requires sacrifices, in every sense of the world. You gather mana by sacrificing your units. Just order them to throw themselves off the nearest edge (just check the minimap if it's not an untraversable area.

Have fun!
