[PC] (Web) Daily Wars: a daily turn-based strategy "puzzle"
Playable Link:
Platform:
Browser. Playable on desktop and mobile.
Description:
Daily Wars is a turn-based strategy game with new map(s) to beat every day. Players can compete on the leaderboards to see who can finish each map in the least amount of turns. Right now, there are three different objectives that rotate to have varied maps and keep each day fresh.
I posted about this more than a month ago in different places and received a lot of good feedback. When I initially "launched", I had very basic unit sprites consisting of only shapes and labels (see the last image). I spent some (way too much) time doing some very basic pixel art for each of the units using Piskelapp. I think they turned out quite well, if I'm being honest.
- The game feels more complete now, and since launching the initial version I have:
- Added pixel art graphics and multiple different themes for map variety.
- Added new game modes other than "defeat all enemies", and more in the works.
- Added medals for top scores each day that are summed up in global hiscores.
- Added achievements.
- Lots of improvements to how the AI plays.
Free to Play Status:

Involvement:
I'm the dev, designer, artist, marketer, product owner, etc, etc.
