Tower AI Update

Tower defense games require a perfect balance. Behaviour of both the enemy and the defense towers should be logical and predictable. This update has mainly AI changes:

The Rocket Launcher and Big Gun prefer to target bulldozers
Enemy bulldozers predict road building to help future bulldozers
Level balance adjusted for modified AI
Explosion animations improved in slowdown mode
Alt-Tab now works properly
The key F12 is no longer used, since steam uses it for screenshots

The current tower behavour in general:

Enemies with sheep are targeted first
Default behaviour is to target the closed enemy
Lasers, gattling and flame towers will prefer faster enemies
Rocket Launchers and Big Guns will prefer bulldozers

There is a lot more AI involved, but these are the general rules. Towers, for example, will also take into consideration current projectiles. Please comment when you think AI can be improved. Also comment when you think a level needs rebalancing.

Balance Update

Today we did a minor balance change. Level 66 was extremely difficult to beat. It was possible, but only with a specific build order. If there is any level that needs rebalancing, please let us know!

Brief Summary

Operation Sheep Defense is a tower defense game. Your mission is to protect sheep from enemies. The enemy will try to capture these sheep. Fight off the enemy with defensive turrets.

Unique Game Mechanics

Each level takes around 6 minutes. Progression is fast and there are no boring moments. The number of enemy units can be huge, later levels can have over 3000 units that enter the level in under 6 minutes.

Levels are dynamic, the enemy will use bulldozers to create new roads. Enemy behaviour is not scripted, every unit and bullets is simulated.

Gameplay

You will need every tactic you can think of, because the enemy can be very intelligent! Instead of simply choosing the shortest path, they will try to avoid towers. They will even build new roads using bulldozers. Every level will require a different approach. The game has over 80 balanced levels. Levels vary from large open areas, levels with multiple entrances, mazes and small fast paced levels.

Place your towers at tactical positions in each level. In open areas you can shape the path that the enemy will have to take to get to the sheep. Upgrade towers to make them stronger. If a sheep has been captured, the enemy has to escape with the sheep. You still have some time to take the enemy down.

There are seven different towers you can build. Each tower has its own strengths and weaknesses. Build small cannons for early defense. Small cannons are cheap to build but not very effective. Build the gattling gun to fight off stronger enemies. The gattling gun is more effective against all kinds of enemies. The rocket launcher does great damage to larger units and bosses. The fastest enemies can be stopped best using the laser tower. To make all towers more effective, use the slowdown tower to stall enemies. The flame thrower can be used against large enemy groups. Finally, you can use the big gun, which is slow but incredibly powerful and can target almost the entire map.

Multiplayer

There is local multiplayer which you can play on a single screen or tv. Play the entire campaign in coop mode, or play one of the coop missions. Many levels are adjusted and rebalanced for coop mode. For controls, choose between mouse, keyboard or any connected gamepad. The economy can be shared, individual or reversed between players.

Features

* Campaign with 80+ Levels
* Local Multiplayer Coop
* Level Challanges
