ERLE is a tiny Tower Defense game with some elements and inspiration from RTS and Roguelite. 

Protect your Hive, increase your Bee swarm and survive the waves of enemies coming to you!

!! NOTE !!

This is a very early prototype, expected missing features, balancing issues, and probably bugs too 😊

** Gameplay **

  • Zones
    • Place them to give orders to your bees
    • Increase the target bee quantity through the UI
      • If not enough bee are available, one will be spawned from the Hive (if enough Pollen)
    • Bees will automatically move toward Zone that are not yet full
  • Pollen & Gathering:
    • When bee are set to Gather, they will go to a Flower, spend some time gathering, and will go back to Hive to deposit Pollen.
  • Flowers:
    • Flower are either used for Pollen or for their Upgrade
      • Every bee in a Zone where there are flower will benefit from the flower bonus
    • Daisy cost 1 pollen, can be gathered 1 pollen and give +1 life
    • Sunflower cost 10 pollens, can't be gathered, and reveal new tiles around it when placed
  • Wave:
    • Enemies will spawn from purple tiles
    • After a certain amount of time, new tiles will be added that spawn more ennemies
      • Currently, there is 10 waves to reach the end of the prototype
  • Upgrading Bees (TODO)
