Realm Rush

About

This game was created as part of the Realm Rush section of the GameDev.tv Unity 3D course I am attending.

Game Design

Realm Rush will be a tower defense game. The game will be positioned on a grid with one square being where enemies come into thje world and another square as the destination. The enemies will follow a fixed path and the player will place defences around this path.

Using limited resources, strategically place towers to stop enemies from reaching their goal.
