Death by Game Show is a action / twitch / strategy / tower defense droid-manager game set in the 26th Century, inspired by the movie Idiocracy, and lots of games / movies / TV pop cutlure references. You've been sentenced to death, yet have one last shot to save yourself on the fictional TV show called iLikeMoney. You start with only a couple of stupid droids to help you, yet you collect and build an army 10 different cheap-@ss droids, place 10 wtf-defenses and spank the enemy through reaction, skill and upgrades. Bring smarts and use your spawns wisely; distract, counter, overwhelm and snare. One wrong decision is often the end of you! Please check out our Greenlight page for more information. Thank you.
Patch 1.03: ‘The Better Late Than Never’ Patch launched in April and included a heap of updates.
Patch 1.03 included:
[*] At launch we were too cheap, in 1.02 we were too giving. The economy of 1.03 falls in the middle, so it should be just right.
[*] We've been back and forth on the difficulty, our inner masochist wants a hardcore challenge but with 1.03 it's much more balanced so anyone (almost anyone) can play, win and have a good time.
[*] With a better economy and refined progress you’ll want to experiment with the games many droids and buildings - in 1.03 you can buy anything from the studio. Finally, you can put all that money to good use.
[*] Reduced on-screen clutter. Bye bye signs, bye bye tutorial pop-ups and bye bye building UI.
[*] Seven new audio tracks have been added.
[*] The tutorials and and levels have been refined.
[*] We've added a Droid Noir graphics option. It makes the game high contrast black and white for those who prefer something more grizzly.
We also listened to feedback regarding our original trailers and made something new. Please let us know your thoughts, thank you.
