Town Devastator
Town Devastator is a small casual project for GMTK Game Jam 2023 made in just 48 hours by one developer - me. The theme was "Role Reversed". So I changed a classic city builder to a city destroyer. You can use environmental disasters to destroy the town or some other interesting events such as Alien Invasion or volcano eruption. Can you destroy the city or will the city prevail over you?
About
Hi, my name is Lukas, in developers world I called myself Beardy Luke. This was my first game jame ever, but I managed to upload the game 2 hours before the deadline. I'm really happy.
Everything in the game I made myself, except for the sound, I downloaded and modified it. The game is made in Unity and the models in Blender. I will be very happy if you play the game and leave a comment or rating. Best and primo on the GMTK Game jam page.
Controls and gameplay
The game is controlled mainly with the mouse, but you can also control the camera with arrows or WSAD. To rotate and zoom the camera, just hold Shift + arrow keys/WSAD. Your task is to destroy all the buildings of the city. The problem is that the city is constantly expanding. The mayor will run out of construction money in about 20 minutes. You use various disasters to destroy the city, which you gradually unlock.

This is great and also really original idea. It’s easy to play, it’s intuitive and funny. The theme wasn’t the easiest one but author is obviously creative. Am I understanding correctly that there is really only one creator behind this all project? If so I am impressed…
I especially love "the grasshopper disaster" because it reminds me the story of Moses. Cool idea!
Thank you very much! Yeah I made it by myself. I am no 3d artist or artist at all, but I wanted to try something new...
That is so cool, I hope that you are proud of yourself!
Thanks! Proud... Well, I am a little disapointed, that only few people played and rated my game for the jam for now... But I am really happy that I managed to finish the game.
Very nice game. Functional and clear graphics. Intuitive controls. Relaxing gameplay. Destruction of the city is VERY satisfying. I haven't played a game like this since maybe SimCity 2000? ...and that was many years ago. Locusts have style, fires are probably my favorite. I would have appreciated more disasters (Godzilla, looting mobs for example) or the ability to combine existing ones - fan the fire with a tornado into an even bigger fire... or boost vulcan with meteor strike... Overall a very fun and enjoyable game.
Thank you very much! Maybe one day I will make a proper game from this prototype.
