Hello everyone! Last April, I signed up for a tiny game jam called TigerJ(am) #3 with the theme of Everything is Backwards. Me and my friend Mike were brainstorming ideas and came up with the concept of a backwards tower defense, where you have to play as the bad guys, and instead of going up in levels, you start at the top and go down. It was silly and ugly (another restriction of the jam was a rather cruel 4-color palette restriction), but more than any other game Id made before, it was simple and fun.
After 25 years working as a software engineer in everything from basement startups to big FAANG, I decided it was time to follow my dream. I put in my two-week notice and created a coming soon page on steam. Its been a wild ride, and Ive had a lot of help getting here, and today is finally the day I get to share the full game with the world! I especially want to thank the amazing folks at IndieArk for going above and beyond in supporting this release, as well as my amazing Discord community and my playtesters there! I consider todays release to be the complete game (I decided some time ago not to put everyone through the ups and downs of early access), but I still have lots of ideas that got cut before release, and are still on the table for future updates! Thanks for reading this, and good luck escaping the tower! https://store.steampowered.com/app/2009860/
