Hero Squad - what google maps was made for
An amazing idea from Adam Ribaudo (he of sevenup live for the monome). Pick a location, the game places 3 bases randomly on streets, start placing turrets to defend those bases. The alien robot’s will follow the roads (and seem to favor main streets), so look for pincer points and cross fire opportunities. Don’t forget you can sell turrets if they are not serving a purpose, or upgrade them for longer range.
The real world locations, make the game so much more fun and engaging.
This is just a proof of concept, so expect bugs, crashes and general mayhem.
One of the best things I’ve seen online for a long time - HUGE potential.
