Big Moat

Big Moat was made for the 2023 Bigmode Game Jam, where the theme was MODE.

You've done it! You're finally king at last, however you've stepped on quite a few toes in the process. Now everyone hates you and is out to destroy your newfound kingdom. Earn gold, build defenses, expand your moat, and survive the onslaught of foes in this pixel art tower defense game!

Controls

• Right click - deselect active structure
• WASD (or middle click) - camera movement
• Escape - pause the game
• Scroll wheel - zoom camera in and out

Our Theme Interpretation

For Big Moat, we decided to involve the MODE theme in multiple ways. The first (and obvious) is a play on words. The second is the mode switching between rounds. The player swaps between a building mode (the time to plan and fortify defenses), and a battle mode (the time for enemies to attack you).
