I've also been trying to defeat Tiny Ramparts (vfqd.itch.io/tiny-ra... by @vfqd.itch.io). A tower defence/autobattler where your purchases are permanent but you can rearrange everything each night. Not played enough to know whether it is "always" beatable or upgrade RNG can thwart victory...

A pixel game showing castles and buildings in the centre of the screen surrounded by some forests. Five prominent skull icons are located around the edge, each one bears a number. A button on the top right reads, "Begin Night".

The Terra Nil Heatwave update drops August 7 with new regions, maps, animals, buildings, and a photography mode so you can pretend the world didn’t almost collapse before you fixed it.

I made crazy overscoped game for GMTK25 Jam - it's a drafting game where you match pilots to speeders, build a bigger hangar, and construct tracks for them to race on. I wanted to make something inspired by House Party in UFO50. Let me know what you think! vfqd.itch.io/desert-drafter #itch #gamedev

We made a new prototype inspired by Islanders and Luck be a Landlord. A kind of "deckbuilder" city builder. This one has been knocking around for years, I'm glad to finally show something off. vfqd.itch.io/tiny-towns
