TownTD is a city fun city builder meets tower defense that forces the player to balance building a city and defending it from incoming enemy waves. You have a set time to build, but after the countdown ends, your roads become the track!

In TownTD, everything is a tower! Police stations, hospitals, and even the garbage dump is both an integral part of your city, and a useful defense strategy. Face off against waves of enemies and see how long your city can survive.

Made for the 2026 GMTK Game Jam

The current build of the game is incomplete and you may encounter some bugs/issues. I plan to continue working on the game and fully flesh it out with more features and polish after the jam.

Some instructions because I didn't have time for a tutorial:

1. Roads must always connect to the highway, and the highway cannot be destroyed. If you try to destroy a road and that road network doesn't have a valid highway connection, it won't let you destroy that segment of road.

2. Icons will appear above homes to tell you what their needs are (know bug: Garbage service sometimes doesn't work)

3. When all homes are destroyed, you lose.

Building:

Homes: House people and are the only building that can be attacked. Enemies will go on roads and pathfind to any one of the valid homes on the map at random.

Police Station: Will send police after enemies. Up to 3 officers can be active at once.

Fire Station: Currently no combat effect, but prevents house fires. In later updates, firetrucks will ram enemy vehicles.

Hospital: Heals homes in its radius.

Garbage Dump: Drops a massive garbage bomb onto enemies at random. The size and damage of the garbage bomb scales with the population of your town.

Gas Station: Will speed up friendly units in radius and will throw flaming gasoline onto the road piece directly in front of them at the beginning of each wave, which will disappear after some time.
