This game is about defending your homeland...
Imagine being a farmer, in a calm Maxico... when suddenly a crazy horde of heavy armed Vikings decide on pillaging your farm.... what do you do?!
Yes that's it! Build a tower, and defend your land from there.
Watch out for those Vikings with axes, and them helicopters shooting rockets at your tower.
Also don't forget to replenish your minimal ammo supply, or you will die very fast!
Try to stay alive for as long as possible.

This game is slanderous against vikings!
(Uhm, using sounds from the internets is technically against the rules.)
Liked the game a lot. Pretty well balanced between having to take some damage to conserve ammo. Nicely done.
I can't believe that somebody had beaten the highscore! Billkney 119 points!!
Nice little game. I like the graphics. I also like the sound, but since you can't use 3rd party sound on the 48h compo I rated as if no sound.
Pretty funny, although as jolle said you aren't allowed to use sounds (or any content) from the internet. You might want to take a look at the rules for next time.
Interesting idea, but it didn't feel very balanced to me. I think it would've helped to have a specific 'low on ammo' click noise to remind you that you're running. Got potential though!
Amusing. However, as a Mexican Viking I can't help but to feel a little uncomfortable at your characterization :)
A nice little game. Can be challenging at time when trying to get out of a tight spot. Nice work!
I feel that if the difficulty was ramped up a bit as time went on, it'd be a lot more fun. I also feel music could of done wonders, or maybe ways to expand or upgrade your own tower. For what it is though, it's a few minutes of fun, and does well enough on the minimal theme.
Yeahhh! I came 2nd (just below Aesthetic) but I used the name 'dsada' or something because I couldn't be bothered using name xD Fun little game though. Bit boring after a bit! :(v
I raised an eyebrow at the sound effects, but the potato sun made up for it. All hail our starch-based provider of light!
Oh, that's actually pretty cool! deciding when to send out your ammo dude. That's a neat resource-manamgment system you've got there. I also approve of the sound design.
First time I played this, I didn't realise that you could reload at all, and I found it absolutely hilarious. Like.. stuff just coming and destroying everything because I have minimal ammo; I thought that was the whole point!
Anyway, I played again once I found out how it works. It's really hard! But, yeah, awesome entry. Love the Fish and Chips shop too. Nice one.
Are that vikings raiding in mexico with a helicopter with Silvester rockets and a potato sun? Well if it's nothing else.
Just hammering on Space solves all Ammo problems... and once the vikings block your ammo supply and you don't have any left, you can't do anything anymore...
I also played until I was on the top of the highscores? Is that bad?
I liked the graphics as well as the difficulty of the game. Good job!
Very funny game, and good idea. I'm not entirely sure those are homemade sounds though?
Apart from that- Great game!
This game is hilarious and fun! I like the bright graphics. It really fits the theme too.
Quite funny and it had enjoyable mechanics on top of that, so I'm not complaining. :D
Funny game with a clever use of the theme! Nice, cute graphics . My only complaint is that it didn't feel like the difficulty increased as you played. The ammo guy is awesome! :)
had to score you low on audio for the copyright sound -- good game but could never get more ammo because the dude kept getting killed -- nice game

TEAMS: Teams entering the Jam should pick a single representative to submit your game, or create a team specific account you can share. We currently do not support Team Voting, but sharing an account and together playing and rating games is acceptable.
NOT LOGGED IN?: If you get a message about not being logged in, even though you are, it’s because your web browser cached the non-logged in page. You can fix this by either refreshing your cache or clearing your cache. CTRL+F5 in many browsers. Chrome is a bit more work. Press F12 to enable Developer Mode, then you can right click on the refresh button and select “Empty Cache and Hard Reload”. This option is unavailable if you are not in Developer Mode.
PORTS: Ports to other platforms can be done after the deadline. That said, the sooner you finish your port, the sooner people can play your game, improving your chances of placing in the final results. For best results, provide a Web version of your game, or a Windows version with no dependencies. Also be sure to rate about 20 games to improve your visibility.
MY GAME DOESN’T SHOW UP: If you can’t find your game, it’s usually because the URL to your downloads are missing ‘http://‘. Fix your URLs (http://mysite.com/mygame.zip) and you will show up.
MY GAME CRASHES, IS UNBEATABLE, OR I MADE A TYPO: We allow you to fix crash or win condition bugs after the deadline (in a sense, like “porting” to support more players). We also allow “typo” bugs. I.e. A true that should have been a false, a word that should have been a different word, very tiny changes that you would have caught if you had more sleep. We leave this open to interpretation, but generally speaking your game should be identical to the game you submitted. No new features, just things you messed up last minute. Typos.
I laughed ! Nice entry :D
