Horde Incoming

Horde Incoming is a turn-based card game created for the "Gamejam+" under the categories "Throwback Thrill" and "Sprite and Sphere," inspired by the popular game from 2009, Plants vs. Zombies.  The main themes drawn from the game include base defense and waves of zombies. However, the gameplay has been transformed from a tower defense format to a turn-based card game, where all characters are presented on cards. The game’s aesthetic draws from a nostalgic zombie theme while incorporating a fresh pirate motif and a retro pixel art style. This approach aims to evoke feelings of nostalgia while adapting to current trends in the gaming industry.  Playing with the "Sprite and Sphere" category, 2D cards are laid out on a three-dimensional table along with additional interactive objects. Future developments for the game project include the introduction of three-dimensional characters.  The objective of the game is to prevent incoming waves of zombies from breaching our territory, which will be done by deploying individual characters. During each turn, players will have the opportunity to strategize and position their own characters and objects in card form. The main goal is to achieve the highest possible score by defeating hordes until the player's defeat.
