Branching Factor

A satisfying game where you evolve a ship based on tree-based data structures in order to survive against waves of enemies. If the root of your ship gets destroyed, everything attached to it is destroyed, forcing the player to consider how they build.

There are 4 parts you can build with:

• Structural Peice: A vertical stuctural component
• Structural Junction: A Y junction that creates more branches for your ship
• Turret: Shoots towards the cursor. Recharges ammo when it receives a power core from the ship.
• Thruster: Provides ship thrust.

The primary objective is to protect the main core of the ship, which produces power cells to power the components of your ship.

BUILD between each wave, adding new components to your ship.

FIGHT against waves of enemies, with each wave getting increasingly more difficult.
