Power Towers Mini

A small tower defense game for the Minifantasy Community Jam 2.

The game concept is inspired by one of my favorite Warcraft 3 custom maps. You build towers but these need energy, power them by building farms and connecting the towers. 

The theme of the jam is "You're The Dungeon / Environment, Not The Hero".

One of the ideas behind the jam is to use the Minifantasy assets. Normally this is smooth sailing, but it became a bit of a challenge when using Pico 8 as the engine. The main issue is the very restrictive palette, and the fact that the engine really prefers it if you stick to a hard limit of 8x8 per asset. Often the sprites in Minifantasy are actually slightly larger than this so I had to cut corners (eg removal of outlines), in addition, I made use of some of the "overworld" props which tend to be smaller.
