Sqdef

About

Sqdef puts players in charge of stopping enemies from crossing the map using a simple tower defense mechanic. You place different buildings along enemy paths to block their advance, then upgrade those structures or research new tech as matches progress. The base game offers over a dozen distinct building types and numerous maps to clear. A standout feature is the built-in editor that lets you design your own levels and share them with other players on the GP2X system. This title secured first place at the GBAX 2007 Coding Competition, which speaks to its tight programming for the hardware. It ships as a pre-installed game on the GP2X Wiz, so you do not need to hunt it down or install extra files. The community data suggests that level sharing keeps the replay value high long after the original campaigns are finished. Alex developed this project specifically for the handheld form factor, which results in snappy controls and fast pacing. It stands out as a complete package right out of the box without any bloatware.
