Hello everyone! After a long wait we are glad to announce that Protolife Lab institution is finally complete and now hiring new researchers.
You are required to participate in experiments* conducted in the safe** controlled environment. * fights ** if you take all necessary precautions, see chapter 2 (Try Not To Die), p67 of the manual.

Research

Every experiment is a unique experience on the randomly generated maps with a different challenge level.
Once completed, the experiment will provide research data necessary for discovering new technologies.
You are in control of setting up experiment conditions. Take a low risk, or go for a high reward.
If your experiment is proven to be too tough, you can always return to it later, when you obtain some new weapons.

Engineering

You can design a custom tower pattern and use it in your fights.
Balance the energy and stats to construct the super-weapons of your choice.
Use the experiments data to unlock new gunpoints, stat boosters and behavior modificators.

New Game+

New Game+ is now available for everyone who finished the game
Manually redesigned levels, including new harder versions of bosses. If you, like me, thought that the original campaign was a bit on the easy side, you will like NG+.
All towers available from the start and as you play, you will unlock a couple of new ones exclusive to the NG+ mode.

We also updated the game with the Steam Trading Cards (finally)! And full patch notes are coming a bit later. If you want to follow / contact us, you can do it here: https://twitter.com/VolcanicGiraffe https://discord.gg/RdhbkBn XOXO, Volcanic Giraffe

Gameplay

Stand to defend a distant human colony against the growing lifeform that devours everything in its wake. Build complex defenses from the simplest element possible – a single block, save few remaining settlements and clean the planetary surface from the corruption in this original tower-based RTS. Initially built for a Ludum Dare 38 game jam, it was completely redesigned, got a graphics update, tons of new content, but still works around a simple idea: build towers from blocks, contain the enemy, survive the night onslaught and strike back.

Key features

Unique approach to building process: Every tower is constructed from patterns of simple blocks. Build your defense grid piece by piece the way you like it, upgrade, combine, optimize space and resources to survive against the overwhelming odds.
An enemy unlike usual RTS adversaries: Growing, living entity designed to exploit every small weakness in your defense. The more space it takes from you, the more powerful it becomes.
Freedom of strategy and flexible defense perimeter: Go for quick low-tier tower rush or bunk with well-defended artillery posts, then collect your blocks and rebuild the defenses on the spot — just mind the free space and resources left.
Direct control over the builder: Or two? Dynamically switch between several battlefronts and dominate over the enemy.
Over 30 levels with variative gameplay and win objectives.
Random missions generator with an adjustable difficulty level and special rewards.
Custom towers editor where you can construct your own powerful weapon.
Remappable keyboard or gamepad controls. Please note that the game was not designed for mouse control.
