Just dropped a new enemy into my game. An APC truck that spits out fast drones and instantly turns the whole arena into panic mode. Still tuning the chaos levels but it already adds that spicy pressure.

Currently experimenting with an APC enemy. 🚛
The idea: it doesn’t fight directly — it spawns drones that do the dirty work. Still figuring out how chaotic that should get.

New update dropped: the Laser Upgrade

Your units can now unleash a continuous beam that grows stronger the more of them you have.
Start small — end up melting the entire screen in blue light.

I’m a firin’ my lazer. 💥

Currently deep in laser logic hell. 🔥
One of those dev days where the code fights back...

Here's some gameplay of the current state of the game with machine guns.

The calm before the chaos. ⚙️
A single wave can turn quiet defense into full-blown pixel panic.

Indie dev pacing is wild — one day you’re debugging hitboxes, the next you’re building tanks. 🚀
Everyone on Bluesky is sharing flashy trailers, and here I am… still tweaking explosion timings.

Currently working on a new laser gun for #minimaldefense. It's so powerful that it melts every enemy within seconds.

Maybe I should introduce a new enemy type. A van that spawns drones which move very fast towards the player could work. The player would need to be very fast to catch these drones 🤔

They don’t go down easy. 🪖
Armored enemies are rolling in, and your rockets better be ready.

It’s been 35 days since the last update… but the wait was worth it. 🚀

New enemy type just dropped: Armored Cars.
They’re tough. They’re mean. And they don’t go down easy. 💥

Time to bring bigger guns. 🔫

Testing new tweaks tonight — still minimal, still chaotic. ⚡

Balancing a full-time job, parenting, and game dev isn’t easy… I squeezed a little bit of gamedev into nap time of my son. The laser update still not finished but happy with the progress.

Missiles don’t ask questions — they just clear the path in Minimal Defense: Survival.

Boom 💥 The car explodes — enemies scatter — chaos unleashed.
In Minimal Defense: Survival, sometimes destruction is the only strategy.

Watch out for the Upgrade Truck.
Grab the crate, unlock the machine gun, and melt the horde.

It seems like this marketig stuff actually worked somehow at #gamescom.
#MinimalDefense is a fun little side project of mine. It's a small mobile game that was perfect to play while waiting in line at #gamescom. I guess the plan worked out.
