Factories Turrets & Giants

This is for the week 154 weekly game jam, and is also my first game published on itch.io. The theme is Rock, Paper, Scissors, which reminded me of a talk Will Wright Gave back in 2003. In particular, this outline of a game he prototyped (he talks about it at 30:45):

Since I made this game primarily off of the memory of what Will Wright talked about and not what he actually did, there are a few differences:

1. All units in this game cost the same amount

2. the defensive unit (turrets in my game) will nearly always win against the offensive unit, except against extreme numbers

3. the defensive unit can only attack offensive units

My game isn't multiplayer, as much as I'd like it to be. I'd either have to be really clever to get this to work with just a mouse and keyboard, or learn networking in a week. Making an AI just happened to be easier.

My game also assumes that it is being played on a 1280x720 screen, so there may be issues when changing the resolution.

Tips:

A player building turrets generally wins against a player building giants

A player building factories generally wins against a player building turrets

A player building giants generally wins against a player building factories

the number keys 1 2 and 3 are bound to change the building being placed, so you don't have to go reaching to the corner of the screen.
