Description

AdapTibbles is a tower defense game where you are protecting your planet in a macro side-view, from an alien invasion. An alien race known as 'Tibbles' has landed on your planet and the aliens are marching around, plundering your planet's resources to take them back to their ship. You must use simple bacteria to try to kill the aliens before they reach their ship each round and steal more of your resources. However, the trick is that these aliens evolve and adapt. Each time you kill aliens with a strain of bacteria, there will be that many aliens in the next round that are immune to that strain. If any of your planet's resources are depleted, one or more strain types of bacteria may become extinct, and you will not be able to use them for the remainder of the game. The game ends when all the planet's resources have been stolen, and is left a ruined husk.

Adaptibbles was created for the 2015 Global Game Jam with a team of myself and 3 other students. I was the lead programmer for this game and developed all non-UI aspects of the game. You can visit the Global Game Jam page for the game here.
