Contains flashing light effects.

Retro Tower is a top down survival game where  your flashlight is the only thing standing between you and the dark.

Sweep your flashlight to spot threats before they reach you, and manage your battery to survive in the dark! 

Your choices determine wheter you will follow the story to find your way back to your family, or face endless hordes of monsters and see how long you can survive in the dark!

Try getting a score of more than 100 and who knows... you might discover something!

Created in 9 days as a solo dev for Godot Wild Jam #95

Hot tips:

- ENTER to skip most dialogue
- WASD to move and Mouse to aim your flashlight
- Left click to turn your flashlight on/off
- ESC for the pause menu and settings (volume, etc)
- Your flashlight needs a moment to cool down after each toggle, so time your light carefully instead of leaving it on constantly, or you'll burn through your battery fast
