Smooth Jazz Tower Defence (Gladlassian)
Team of graduate developers at Atlassian. From our game's readme: This is a tower defence game with a twist: creeps mutate! The game uses a genetic algorithm to select the best creeps and breed them together. A little bit of mutation is thrown in for a bit of spice, just like in evolution. For both creeps and turrets, colours signify the specialties: Red: health Blue: armour Green: speed A good first strategy is to place one of each turret at the start of the map. To place a turret, click its icon from the right side of the screen. Hover your cursor over a bright red square and click. Sit back, relax and let the smooth jazz sooth your soul. I've uploaded a video of our final game to YouTube. If you're on Linux or Mac, download the source distribution and read the README. If you're on Windows, download the binary.
