MineKeeper

MineKeeper is a small tower defense and mining game. The player controls a miner that has to defend his shack against attacking monsters. Luckily, the ground below the shack is filled with valuable minerals.

When above ground, the mouse is used to select and place turrets but, while underground, the player instead controls the miner directly, platform-style, as he pushes against blocks to mine them for resources or clear paths.

Every 10 seconds a new wave of enemies spawn above ground, giving you little time to restock resources and upgrade turrets. Two kinds of ore, silver and gold, are used to buy the two different types of turrets.

Made for the Ludum Dare 51 game jam (theme: "every 10 seconds").
