Castle Carnage

Summary

Castle Carnage is a tower defense mobile game, where the player plans out the enemy route and tower placement before the enemy swarm attacks.

This game has been completed for the month-long Rookie Game Jam by Mindstorm Studios in Pakistan, but we plan to continue building and improving this game separately.

Game Ideation

Castle Carnage takes the basic concepts of Tower Defense games and adds a new twist to it, where players also have to prepare the path for the enemies to reach the castle. In doing so they will have to manage their resources to come up with an efficient route to save their cash for the towers but also create a good enough route through the towers as to not let the enemies reach their base. It is the perfect combination between managing resources and classical tower defense.

The theme for the Game Jam was "Tower Defense" and the game was supposed to be a "Hyper Casual Mobile Game", which is prospected to be the most successful game industry in the coming years. To align with the HCG restriction, Castle Carnage uses a level system with short and fun levels.
