Forklift Defense
You are Alien Unit 07, the last alien on board while the rest of the crew rushes to repair the ship. Your mission: keep it standing until the repairs are done. The problem is that the weapons sent to you are too heavy to carry by hand, so the only tool capable of lifting all that is a forklift.
It's a tower defense where the forklift isn't just for show, it's the core of the game. You use it to fetch and position your defenses, deliver upgrades, and rearrange everything mid combat, while waves of invaders push toward your position.
Two lines of defense: the Cannon Tower, which fires and can be upgraded in damage, speed and range, and the Barricade, which blocks the path and absorbs the impact of anyone trying to get through, growing tougher with each upgrade.

For anyone experiencing this bug: during the Game Jam period, I'll leave a link below where you can play the game with these bugs fixed.

On my end, the bug stopped happening. Please test it, and if it's still bugging out, let me know!
I really like the concept of using a forklift to move towers around in a tower defense game. I also like how you used the assets in this game.it fits the theme really well.
My main concern is that I couldn’t continue playing because of what seems like a visibility or placement issue. I took a screenshot of the area where I dropped three cannons, but they completely disappeared. I know they were still there because they could still kill the humans and I could hear them shooting.
The problem is that I couldn’t see or find the cannons anymore, so I couldn’t move them with the forklift. This kind of defeats the purpose of the main mechanic if the towers can disappear from view and become impossible to relocate.
I really like the idea, but fixing this issue would make the game much easier to play and enjoy.
Thanks for the feedback, glad the forklift + tower defense concept and the assets worked for you!
About the disappearing cannons, that's a strange bug I've only seen on certain devices, the tower seems to glitch slightly under the terrain. I've tried tracking it down, but since the game is submitted for the jam, I can't push updates right now.
Good catch though, definitely one of the first things I'll fix once the jam voting period is over.
Unfortunately, I'm also having the same issue. The turret wasn't able to be placed, so I had no other way of earning credits
Yeah I also had the same issue. I wasn't able to place any towers or anything so I couldn't really play the game :/
same for me, but loved how you interpreted the theme
